@NDRepublicans@NDRepublicans on record here in support of violating your 4th amendment rights.
Really think twice about where you send your kids to school folks
At his press conference today, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro accused me of promoting conspiracy theories because I told him, during an earlier telephone conversation, that some Americans had religious objections to the MMR vaccine because it contained fetal tissue. “There is no fetal tissue in the MMR,” he told me.
This is a segment from a videotaped deposition of Stanley Plotkin, the inventor of the MMR vaccine. Plotkin admits to butchering 76 aborted normally developing fetuses, all over three months old, in just one of the many studies that led to the development of his vaccine.
The rubella virus used in MMR-II is grown on the cultured cell line composed of lung tissue from an aborted three-month-old female embryo and listed as “WI-38 human diploid lung fibroblasts” in the ingredients of MMR-II as portions of these cells end up in each vial of MMR II.
During Dr. Plotkin’s deposition, Attorney Aaron Siri asked: “Isn’t it true that MMR II contains approximately 150 nanograms cells substrate double-strand DNA and single-strand DNA per dose purposefully fragmented to approximately 215 base pairs in length?” Dr. Plotkin answered: “Yeah, that’s probably correct, yes.”
This equals approximately 646 billion pieces of human DNA from an aborted fetal cell line in each vial of MMR-II.
In addition to the human DNA, there is also an unspecified amount of human cellular debris in each dose of MMR-II.
During our phone conversation, Governor Shapiro also accused me of promoting vaccine misinformation. When I asked him for an example, he was unable to provide one, but this did not deter him from publicly repeating that accusation during his press event. As I told him, HHS does not tolerate misinformation by any employee. I offered to point to hundreds of instances of vaccine misinformation by the Biden administration about which I had never heard him complain.
Governor Shapiro also faulted me for the decline in Pennsylvania vaccination rates from 97% - 93.2%. When I pushed back on this assertion, he acknowledged that most of the decline occurred during the Biden administration. It’s unfortunately true that the government lockdowns, deceptions, manipulation, and overreach during Covid severely damaged public faith in the vaccine program.
Governor Shapiro’s press conference was an example of the same species of gaslighting.
The Trump administration is working to restore public trust not by gaslighting or manipulating, but by being truthful, at last, with the public.
@glangley@RandPaul Oh man am I glad you popped up here.
Where do you live at @glangley ? Just asking for totally mundane safety reasons- nothing weird. At the end of the day, it’s about your safety*.
How many data-stealing cameras do you have pointed at your house?
Have had 3 babies and the 4th is on the way. None of my postpartums have been what I would call easy. After my first, especially, I had a lot of anxiety over her being safe, healthy, etc. Thankfully this subsided after a few weeks. But I can tell you this: the very LAST thing that would have helped me during this time would have been setting up my phone, pressing record, doing 2-3 takes of me acting sad, editing it, then posting to social media in the hopes of receiving affirmation from strangers. These videos are either hyperbolic performances or they’re just willingly exacerbating their struggle. Either way, it’s completely unhealthy
@LukaLev Ahhh. So this is why half the kids in the workforce are too fucked up to operate. This cunt can’t keep her cool after her toddler “frustrates” her. What a self absorbed piece of shit.
This has been going on for too long clearly.
@elonmusk wasn’t allowed or approved to make the, so obvious changes he & DOGE suggested making. Anyone paying attention was keeping score.
Budget reduction, federal agency shuttering, workforce reductions for federal government. 46 proposed budget changes and 44 of those rejected. Broad access to payment systems to confirm we’re not paying bots or foreigners for services not provided?
This is how dumb the Republican establishment thinks its constituency is. Reject this clown.
@thecavemommy A 16 month old and now a 4 day old at home- I’ve had many a grocery carts that looked just like this haha.
Glad to see you guys are all happy/healthy! 😃
Yes, we generally are much more prosperous and comfortable than our great grandparents. We are much more prosperous and comfortable than people in third world countries. That’s true. It’s also an incredibly unpersuasive and irrelevant answer to the affordability crisis.
You would not be satisfied with ineffective and counterproductive medical treatments just because it’s still better than the treatments your ancestors received. You would not be satisfied with a car that only goes 20 miles an hour just because it’s still faster than the horse and buggy your great great grandpa drove around. You would not be satisfied with a house with a leaky roof just because it at least shields you from the elements better than the mud hut African tribesmen live in.
We are an advanced modern first world country. We are supposed to be the greatest country in the world. That’s the standard we should hold ourselves to. And in that country — not an African country, not a country in 1887 — a working man should be able to afford a house and groceries. That’s not entitlement. It’s not expecting the government to solve everything for us. It doesn’t mean that those things should be provided via government program. It’s just simply the most basic imaginable standard. If we’re falling short of it — and we are — then we need to figure out why, and how to fix it. It’s that simple. This really shouldn’t be controversial.
One of the problems with this claim is that virtually no Republican was making "the affordability crisis is fake" arguments during the Biden years. It's extremely transparent to everyone that the unwillingness to acknowledge these obvious economic challenges is at least partially politically motivated.
The second problem is that, no matter how thrifty your family might be, and no matter how cheap your homemade burritos, the significant rise in grocery prices over the past 6 years -- and the fact that the rise is continuing, not stopping, and certainly not reversing -- is just a mathematical reality. It can't be denied. It is a fact.
Grocery prices have gone up by 30 percent or more this decade. I'm happy for you if your family isn't significantly impacted by this problem. But it is real. And it is a problem. And conservatives better come up with an answer that isn't just "learn how to make cheap burritos" or we will get absolutely crushed. That's another reality.
We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he’s betrayed us all.
Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center.
The movement has begun.
