On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Context to Gavin Bazunu’s position: a matchday squad of 23 must be submitted to UEFA before midnight tonight, and *must* include three goalkeepers. Were he to simply refuse to play, the FAI would only be able to submit a squad if they (farcically) redesignated an outfielder as a goalkeeper.

Interviews with more than 30 current and former employees reveal the agency is now tightly controlled by Mr. Kennedy and his associates, and its scientists are finding it increasingly difficult to do their jobs effectively. (Some spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a fear of retaliation.)

The changes have hindered the C.D.C.’s ability to respond to outbreaks as measles spreads at home and Ebola abroad, and to issue timely guidance on vaccinations as cooling temperatures kick off the respiratory season, according to current and former employees. State and local health departments, which rely on the C.D.C. for resources and technical advice, have been stymied by delays. Entire divisions have been shuttered, including teams that worked on smoking, sexual violence, child abuse and falls among older adults.

So fuc*ing infuriating and sad. The CDC used to be the crown jewel of the world's scientific firmament. Other countries came to us for help fighting deadly diseases. Its disease detectives learned what caused illness and helped change practices to prevent them. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/h...

New York Times confirms reports that, days before Oct. 7, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu that Hamas was planning a major attack. According to five former senior Israeli officials, Netanyahu never passed the warning to Israel.

New York Times sources back Haaretz report that UAE president warned Netanyahu before 7 October

Five former senior Israeli officials told the Times the warning never reached Israel's security chiefs. Netanyahu denies the call and has ordered lawyers to sue Haaretz.

Trump, for over a decade: "I wouldn't give him a state dinner." This week: A full state dinner at the White House for China's Xi Jinping, complete with the arrival ceremony, a gift, and billionaires everywhere.

Clinton: "Some days I can hardly believe what is happening in this country. They have created one set of rules for themselves & another set for everyone else. They've weaponized govt to settle personal scores. They've made the fed govt a profit centre for themselves and their allies." #cdnpoli

Congress hasn't passed a budget without a last-minute continuing resolution since the late ‘90s. The American people deserve better. It’s time for leaders in DC to offer actual solutions, build bipartisan coalitions, and get things done for the people they represent.

Ah they just upped the death toll of Trump’s fake assaination attempt in Butler, PA. The “other“ guy shot, James Copenhaver has now died. Think Trump will mention it? I’ve got 20 bucks says no.

I want to take a minute to comment on Kaitlyn Collins at CNN. She has never been disrespectful to Donald Trump. She addresses him as “Mr. President”. Trump has bullied her numerous times and she’s maintained a professional demeanor. He may not like her questions, but they deserve an answer.
