Mark Hyman spreads misinfo, blames patients for illness, & promotes distrust of evidence-based medicine.

Sad that Cleveland Clinic has helped to legitimize this behavior, the lasting effects of which are likely all the more harmful during a pandemic.

After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school.

Targeting children and separating families is cruel and un-American. https://t.co/GEJP3W1d2q

Jeffries: Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values. Perhaps I can explain. The motto of the United States of America is e pluribus unum. Out of many, one. That’s diversity. The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution—one of the most influential important amendments in our country—provides equal protection under the law. That’s equity. In this country, we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. A flag that we just presented to the new President and Vice President. And in that pledge, we promise, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. A-L-L. That’s inclusion. Not complicated. Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values. It’s about economic opportunity. It’s about merit for everyone, based on what you know, not who you know.

Americans needs to know the details about the people Trump pardoned.

DJ Rodriguez posted "There will be blood. Welcome to the revolution". He beat officers with a wooden pole, tasered an officer in the neck causing a heart attack.

He's out of jail this week.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

He just defunded fixing your roads and bridges and other transportation projects.

Meaning more potholes. More bridges and tunnels falling apart and failing. Longer commutes. Uglier airports. More flight delays. More traffic.

Coming your way, thanks to Donald Trump.

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.

I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.

Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”

Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

When it comes to his criminal cases, President Donald Trump believes he is above the law and the judicial system is only enabling him.

Thank you, Lina. The first FTC Chair in decades to actually take on the monopolies and the corporations that control our lives.

Her replacement - handpicked by President Trump - promises to put corporations first and stop giving them such a hard time when they screw consumers.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

No one should be denied access to economic opportunity because of a medical emergency.

Our Administration has made it so medical debt can no longer be included in credit scores, which will give millions of Americans the opportunity to buy a home, grow their business, and thrive.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

Winter weather is impacting travelers. If your flight is cancelled for any reason—including weather—and you choose not to rebook, you are entitled to a full refund.

1. Today the Federal Circuit rejected Teva's bid to list device patents for inhalers in the Orange Book.

Practically this means that drug makers can't list patents for things like inhaler caps to block generic rivals from the market & keep prices high.

A big win for Americans.

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

And just like that, Republican Unelected Co-President Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday. All he had to do was make a few social media posts.

Trump said he’d empower working people, all he’s done is empower the ultra wealthy.

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

We now know that hydroxychloroquine likely increases the risk of death from COVID-19.

Good that this awful, unethical, and incredibly harmful paper has finally been retracted. Terrible that it took four years and many dead people to happen.

@statnews is, and has always been, trash. If you're paying for this, you're a sucker.

It's unconscionable that Dr. Hotez - while battling the worlds deadliest diseases - has to simultaneously fend off antisemites and anti-vaxxers.

Taking away health care and Sesame Street.

That's the Republican version of fighting for the American people.

Well that explains a lot

@PoleDoctress Vinay is very interest-conflicted. He even works as consultant at United Healthcare. What a fraud. @DGlaucomflecken is a hero.
