🚨 BREAKING: The Indiana House has now passed a congressional map that wipes out every single Democratic seat, a full purge of representation, after direct pressure from Donald Trump. This isn’t “redistricting.” It’s political erasure. And if Republicans get away with it in

“The fog of war” doesn’t excuse what lawmakers say they saw. Two shipwrecked survivors — no way to move, no threat — struck again before they could even flip their boat, per members of Congress. Intelligence. Justice. Accountability.

Excellent review by @VirusesImmunity et al... 🦠 Viruses don’t just make you sick — some leave long shadows. Here are some infections known to trigger long-term post-acute sequelae (PAIS): • SARS-CoV-2 → Long COVID: fatigue, brain fog, immune dysregulation, multisystem issues

.@AmerAcadPeds : Downgrading Hep B infant vaccination guidance isn’t science — it’s misinformation. The Hep B birth dose has prevented 99% of infant infections since 1991. Why mess with what protects babies?

NEW: ACIP moved to delay the hep B shot at birth. Later today: a 76-slide push to rethink the childhood vaccine schedule. A former ACIP chair: “An historic departure from science-driven policy.” https://t.co/SiAJQky2Rl

A panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy votes to do away with the recommendation all babies should be vaccinated against #hepatitisB at birth. "We are doing harm," said panel member Cody Meissner, who voted against this #ACIP recommendation.

The U.S. Institute of Peace is now the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.” Trump admired the new signs: “Boy, that is beautiful.” Narcissism, etched for all to see.

A doctor called Matthew Perry a “moron,” asked “how much he’ll pay,” then billed him $57,000 for ketamine as he spiraled toward death. He walks away with a 30-month sentence. Perry gets none.

Two men, shirtless, shipwrecked, barely staying afloat. “You have two individuals in clear distress.” “Any American will see the U.S. attacking shipwrecked sailors.” If this is policy, something has gone off the rails.

They’re calling it “buffoonery” — not because 20M Americans will face massive premium spikes, but because it might hurt their election. “I want to be in the majority .”-@Congressman_JVD Priorities loud and clear.

Millions are worried about groceries, health care, and job cuts — and Trump’s big focus? Hiring a new architect for his $300M, 90,000-sq-ft White House ballroom. Real people need help — Trump needs a bigger dance floor.

Trump’s busy attacking Somali Americans while the economy craters: 1M+ job cuts in Oct., rising prices, crippling tariffs, and health costs set to explode. He’s not fixing America; he’s wrecking it and using bigotry as cover.
