"The president’s plan was immediately criticized by scientists, physicians, Democrats and some congressional Republicans, who said the order was dangerous and warned that it could lead to fewer children receiving vaccines against preventable diseases." #vaccines

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 5d ago

Breaking news: The Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would upend decades of federal guidance on which vaccines are administered to children and call for states to reconsider school vaccine requirements.

"Independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 studies involving over 5.6 million people to conclude that there is no link between vaccines and autism"

The doctor who tried to save lives during Covid is being treated like a villain. The traitors who beat up cops at the Capitol on Jan. 6 are being treated like victims or heroes. It's American madness.

New polls show Trump losing support among the groups at the heart of his supposed 2024 political realignment, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

He’s a roadkill enthusiast not a scientist

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

A key national intelligence agency is abusing its power to meddle in elections. Congress must rein it in. bit.ly/4f9dpkP

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump Just Did More Damage to Elections Than China

His speech was a mashup of charges that aren’t supported by the documents he released.

Ossoff: “You refuse to answer a simple matter of the fact about the 2020 election.” Clayton: “I’ve given you my answer.” Ossoff: “What is your answer?” Clayton: *doesn’t answer* Ossoff: “Isn’t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question?”

Opinion | Trump pushed the reset button. This is ‘Iran Fiasco 2.0.’

A coalition can keep Hormuz open and squeeze Tehran. There’s no need to rush a nuclear deal.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

It looks like the Texas attorney general, charged with enforcing election laws, actually violated election law. Isn't ironic? #irony #hypocrisy

ProPublica@propublica.org · last mo.

Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in elections in the past two years, which experts say may violate state election law. ProPublica and @texastribune.org linked him to a home in suburban Dallas since February.

This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion
