Child mortality since vaccines 👇
If vaccines really improved health, today's children would be the healthiest in history.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Child mortality has plummeted: historically ~50% of children died before adulthood, now ~4% globally. A 2024 Lancet study estimates vaccines averted 154 million deaths since 1974, accounting for 40% of the infant mortality decline.

Trump wants to buy Russian diesel while Putin bombs Ukrainian families.
That deal would fund Putin’s war machine and betray Ukraine.
I’m joining @RepGregoryMeeks’ bipartisan legislation to block it. America should not bankroll Putin’s war.

Blood clots have NOT statistically changed since Covid vaccines in either the NFL or NBA according to injury reports and searchable records.
Sorry to ruin some narratives but the data says no change

So now we’re using taxpayer dollars to bail out farmers struggling with diesel prices driven up by Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran.
What about everyone else paying the price for his decisions? Who’s bailing them out?
Trump: "I'm pleased to announce that the Department of Agriculture will be launching a new harvest fuel relief program providing our farmers with $8 billion in support to offset diesel costs during this harvest season. And Roger Marshall is the leader who fought for that to happen."

Former US Secretary of State Pompeo: There have been multiple offers to end the war in Ukraine, including energy ceasefires and a Black Sea agriculture deal.
Every time, Putin has rejected them and Zelenskyy has said yes.

Even if the American Republic lasts for 1,000 years, nothing will ever remove the stain of this despicable man’s monstrous betrayal of everything it once stood for
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

I don’t understand why farmers need an endless series of welfare payments from the rest of us since Trump took office. Aren’t his policies working for you? You need us to pay you so you will keep voting for the guy who is failing you? Don’t you believe in free market capitalism?

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia.
I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Ukraine gave up a nuclear arsenal valued at over $1 trillion dollars, including 4,500 nuclear warheads. Guess who asked Ukraine to do this? We did.

Trump says Ukraine gave the US nothing. Here’s the receipt. Ukraine handed over the world’s 3rd-largest nuclear arsenal in 1994 for US security assurances. Under Zelenskyy it has ground down Russia’s army for years with zero American troops in the fight. A 2025 deal gives the US a cut of future mineral revenues plus battlefield intel that upgrades our military. That’s not nothing.

The US is on track to lose its measles elimination status next month, 26 years after earning it.
Turns out "Make America Healthy Again" was referring to 1999.

Hume: The president has been out campaigning vigorously, but I'm not sure it's making any difference and what difference it would make I'm not sure is helping.
In Texas, he is calling James Talarico “Tala-freak-o.” He is not a freak. You see him. He seems mild mannered and pleasant and not an unattractive candidate.
This cuddling up to Vladimir Putin at this moment… I don’t think that plays well. The American public can’t stand Putin.
And this fiasco with the press secretary…

Why would Trump help Russia 2.5 weeks before a major US election?
What is he getting in return?

Trump admits that Russia is helping Iran to kill and maim American troops.
But just a “very little.”
This is a grotesque betrayal of US forces on the battlefield in this war—and their families.
The war that Trump launched.
No American Commander-in-Chief has sunk so low.
Trump: My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I don't want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table.
Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing.
Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States.
Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World.
Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did.
He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END!

The surrender of Ukraine to Russia would result in a murderous purge that land has not seen since Stalin. This is what Trump is supporting.
