Lots of outlets have slow-walked coverage and soft-pedaled the objective facts around this fascist decade-long rolling coup attempt over and over again. It’s NOW. Not later. NOW. And it has been the whole time.
Tens of thousands of 9/11 survivors and responders were promised care through the World Trade Center Health Program, a federally funded lifeline meant to treat the medical consequences of that day. Thanks to DOGE, its research has slowed and, in some cases, completely stopped.

I consider this a red alarm. Congress appropriates $ for the #NIH Money is taken out of life saving research to fund the DoD, which already has $. Congress approval is meaningless. A bigger reason to vote blue in November. 🧪 democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-r...

Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.

The Trump administration has approved the use of 2 new forever chemicals in data centers. Exposure can cause cancer, vision impairment, neurological damage, reproductive harm, and "sudden death."
Trump and Rubio are handing Saudi Arabia the technology to produce nuclear weapons material—the most reckless nuclear deal in U.S. history. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race and is corruption at the expense of national security. Congress must reject it.
