Questioning the efficacy of something like the polio vaccine should be automatically disqualifying for someone being considered to lead the agency responsible for safeguarding America’s public health. The facts are clear: vaccines work and RFK Jr. has no business running HHS.

Trump’s illegal funding freeze is straight out of Project 2025: slashing housing, health care, even cancer research while jacking up costs for working people. It’s unconstitutional and it’s all for the billionaire class. We need to use every legislative option at our disposal to fight this madness.

RFK Jr. has spent years attacking vaccines and spreading deadly misinformation. Look at what he did in Samoa. Now he wants us to trust him to lead HHS? His appointment would seriously endanger children and public health. The Senate must reject him—it’s too big of a job for someone this reckless.

They're halting funds for almost everything that helps everyday people and families while promising big tax breaks for the wealthiest people in this country. Trump's presidency is a hostile takeover by billionaires and the wealthy. It's the blueprint of Project 2025 and it's scary as hell.

This new press secretary is a doozy.Truly a Trump acolyte.

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

As a polio survivor, I've urged Senators vote NO on RFK Jr. His anti-vaccine stance directly fueled a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa, killing 83 people—mostly children. He’s not fit to protect the health of our children, or any of us. We cannot let him lead HHS. More here w/ @ayman.msnbc.com ⬇️

As OSCE PA Special Rep. on Political Prisoners, I'm closely following the case of Mzia Amaghlobeli in the Republic of Georgia. Mzia is a journalist who the de facto Georgian Dream government has arrested on trumped-up charges. She is not doing well in prison, the government needs to release her NOW.

Trump pardoned 23 violent criminals who harassed, assaulted, and terrorized abortion clinic staff and patients. This isn’t “pro-life.” This is pro-violence and anti-women. Trump’s message is clear: extremists can harm people with impunity if they share his views. It’s disgusting and dangerous.

Trump’s pardon of violent anti-abortion activists is deeply personal for Julie Burkhart. She worked at a clinic targeted with attacks in 1991, which led to the creation of the FACE Act. “He’s proven our fears are valid,” she says. “I hurt for the women who just need good, sound healthcare.” #Velshi

What’s next? cancel Memorial Day because it doesn’t include confederates?

Oh my God! I was just being cynical. He does the most bizarre stuff. I imagine before he was sent to military school. His father must’ve asked him to throw out the trash and he brought trash back in the house. He’s just an unthinking contrarian.
