40,000 women die of breast cancer every year
300 kids died from the flu last year
No one dies of chemtrails
Because chemtrails are not a thing.
Our health secretary needs to focus on what matters to making Americans healthier
RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr. referred to "chemtrails," a conspiracy theory alleging secret chemical spraying by aircraft. No evidence supports this; trails are condensation (contrails) and a 2016 peer-reviewed survey of 77 atmospheric experts found 76 had seen none for such programs.

Unfortunately it’s official- The U.S. measles case count for this year has surged past last year's total and now stands at 2,295 - a level that hasn't been seen in 35 years. 😞
1) 6% hospitalization rate = 100+ kids hospitalized
2) $30k+ to investigate each case = $70 million that can’t go to cyclospora outbreaks, chronic disease prevention, etc.
3) 90%+ of cases unvaccinated

Trump‘s and Lutnick‘s sons have been involved in 14 rare mineral deals that were collectively financed or will be financed by $8.9 billion US taxpayer money, as Trump seeks to find partnerships to get at these minerals. It’s one of the most disgusting displays of kleptocracy so far!
I gifted this article so you can read it.

JUDGE MILLETT: If the govt decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the govt moved too fast — nothing can be done?
DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.
Thank you @JoeGiacalone for having me on your show.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. @BlackiLi @WilliamJBroad nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

An important study elucidating the mechanism by which mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis
The risk is rare
The risk of myocarditis from covid is about 10 times higher
But understanding how a vaccine might have negative side effects is a key part of making vaccines even safer
A new Stanford Medicine study shows why mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines can cause myocarditis.

A convicted fraudster paid two right-wing lobbyists $960,000 for "seeking a federal pardon" for him. Months later, Trump pardoned him. @PostKranish @AaronGSchafer washingtonpost.com/politics/…

President Donald Trump shared a claim that former President Barack Obama received millions in Obamacare-related royalties before Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency stepped in to stop it. That claim originated from satire.

I for one will never forgive or forget the people who did this. Some of the greatest and cruelest domestic crimes of my lifetime.
"A man ran to the Broadview ICE facility today searching for his wife of five years. They were following the legal process, showing up for her court case, when ICE took her to another room and disappeared her. He tracked her phone to Broadview where the signal cut off. Police told him to just look up her name online. He sat in a parking lot weeping, confused, with no answers." 🥹😭👇

The Trump administration is fighting in court not to pay out food stamps

Donald Trump’s lawyers literally argued in court yesterday that feeding starving families undermines his ability to use hunger as political leverage for the shutdown.
SICK!

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.

Congress’ nonpartisan number cruncher says between $7 billion and $14 billion in economic activity could be permanently lost because of the shutdown. Depending on the Trump administration’s actions, it could be an even bigger hit.
