Hib is a devastating pathogen of young children that virtually disappeared in the US as a result of the Hib vaccine.

What is the Dem plan to secure the vote?

🚨BREAKING: GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell and convicted election denier Tina Peters are pushing a scheme to have Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seize voting machines, as part of a broader effort for the Trump administration to interfere with the midterm vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We allowed maga to usurp “patriotism” and “American values” and it lead directly to this. Our greatest weapon against such an obvious bad actor is turned against us. What are “American values” anymore? We stand for nothing and so we shall inevitably fall.

Next week, Google is putting an experimental satellite into orbit that is the first step towards building A.I. data centers in space. This technology is all still very speculative, but tech leaders are increasingly adamant that this is the future of compute. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/t...

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. (Published March)

Kennedy Jr.’s Vaccine Agenda Risks a Resurgence of Deadly Childhood PlaguesThe health secretary is spreading doubts about vaccine safety and considering changes that could prompt manufacturers to flee the U.S. market.

Interesting side of Hitler I was unaware of "Arguably Adolf Hitler’s greatest passion and pastime outside of his quest for world domination was his obsession with architecture and urban design." Here he is with a model of the 330-foot high triumphal arch he wanted. hitler-pics.com/2023/05/06/h...

here in CT the state is still debating whether we should actually enforce the no ICE masks law. blue states should instead be debating how to storm facilities like these with the national guard

Dr Oz: "I don't want anyone in America concerned inappropriately. We don't know exactly what happened in PAG yet. We don't know if the children died from measles or had another condition that was already attacking them and they happened to get measles at the same time. We lived this during covid."

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.

What other evidence do you need that Republicans don’t care about our laws?

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

This guy has some of the best soundbites. I wish more Dems would use strong language like he does.

Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

Thinking about how every trump attack is a confession so his juvenile “Dumocrats” nickname is really just his fear of being called “Dum Old Trump”

abraham linkedin like "Almost 100 years ago we invented a country. Now? We're in a great civil war. And this is a battlefield. What can we do? Can’t dedicate it Can’t consecrate it, Can’t hallow it. Only these grindset sigmas could ship enough new birth of freedom to do that, and they did.”

Just watched The Neverending Story (1984) with my 8 year old and she asked, “why didn’t he use his wish to bring his mother back?” I’ve seen this movie dozens of times and that never occurred to me. Kids are so great

Republican leadership can convince these ghouls to sell out for a ballroom yet Democrat leadership can’t get on the same page about things polling at 70%. It’s well past time for Schumer and Jeffries to go!!

Takes a lot to truly unnerve these days but the "a whole civilization will die" line is a new plane of horrific. Even if it is just rhetoric, which I would not bet on, it feels like a sign of some last vestige being blown away. The US openly and eagerly announcing itself as monstrous

Just a reminder that most of the MAGA influencers don’t actually have any principles or positions on anything. Whatever gets them clicks and engagement. It’s all a grift.

“The DOJ has asked states to agree to a “confidential memorandum of understanding” in connection with handing over their full voter files.” Any government that seeks to conceal its actions against voters is an enemy to its people.

Brennan Center@brennancenter.org

Why is the federal government demanding that states turn over their voter rolls? A confidential agreement that the DOJ sent to states has some answers. bit.ly/46tX4nd

My heart aches for any mother, sister, or daughter forced to live in a shithole like Kentucky

Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com

These two Kentucky cases follow known criminalization patterns, per @pregnancyjust.bsky.social data. *arrests after seeking medical care *charges for handling of fetal remains using laws meant for other purposes *people criminalized are disproportionately low income

Whenever some grinning racist from the GOP calls Texas "business friendly," this is what that means
