BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s campaign took donations from individuals named in the Epstein files — all while he gave an Epstein-style sweetheart deal to a convicted child sex offender as Texas’ Attorney General.

I can’t believe this needs to be said, but please don’t take vaccine recommendations from Donald Trump or RFK Jr. Work with your pediatrician.

This is so dangerous and will not result in reduced cases of autism.

A message to Democrats: Donald Trump turned our political system into a criminal operation and you should be calling it out every day

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

It's "stunning to think that all those on the [regular] plane were sort of a decoy, and were not told that the president wasn't on board, and that the deception was continued even after he was safely returned to Washington. And that's hard for me to understand." —@davidaxelrod

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

Maybe now would be a good time to explore the criminal ramifications for allowing innocent civilians to travel on Air Force One with a missile that HAD been able to reach the plane and detonate. This goes WAY past negligence.

Seeing the President repeatedly doze off during public events should be a national story. The fact that it barely registers is its own kind of warning.

[Covie @covie_93]

It's crazy how the President of the United States can just fall asleep on camera in the middle of the day in the Oval Office and the media just shrug and move on.

There’s a mental health crisis happening on the USS Abraham Lincoln along with a shortage of food,water & hygiene supplies.These Navy Sailors were deployed 271 days ago to the Middle East & haven’t been to a port of call in 250 days.They want & need help & Trump couldn’t careless

Imagine ditching your own staff and press on the plane so you can sneak across the tarmac in a motorized catering cart, while the guy you claim is "weak" slipped into Poland, rode a train for 10 hours through a literal war zone into Kyiv, and then made the entire trip in reverse.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

“It was always bad. And now it’s at a breaking point.”

That’s how a VA psychologist described mental health care for veterans after the Trump administration hollowed out the system meant to serve them.

That same psychologist described one-on-one sessions for the veterans who need them most being pushed online, with some cut to as little as 16 minutes. In one case, individual therapy was replaced by group sessions packed with as many as 35 veterans at once.

Hundreds of mental health staffers have left the VA under this administration and haven’t been replaced. So when a veteran needs more time, more care, more attention, it simply isn’t there. The VA now has around 500 fewer psychologists and psychiatrists than it did a year ago, and the numbers keep falling.

This is the country’s largest health care system, serving 9 million veterans.

They face mental health challenges at higher rates than the rest of us. They die by suicide at roughly twice the rate.

When their care is neglected, it costs lives.

Secretary Collins was handed a fundamental responsibility, and veterans are paying the price for his failure to meet it. We must not stay silent while those who served scream out for someone to listen.

You know, I don't expect much decency (none, really) from the jackass napping and farting in the Oval Office.

But there are HUNDREDS of Republicans in Congress now, many of whom call themselves Christ-loving Christians, who should be ASHAMED sitting in silence as trump attacks Biden in what could be his final days.

Hunter described his Dad as being in great pain as he battles the cancer that has "metastasized into his bones."

For f*cks sake, where is your decency???
Have you lost no one to cancer?
Is this what Jesus would do?

I don't even blame trump, because his brain is mush and he doesn't know if he's shitting or eating.

But I blame the people around him, so-called "trusted-advisors" and members of Congress. You all are shitty, cowardly scumbags.

Unlike trump, you KNOW the difference between right and wrong, and you sit there in captive silence to wrong 10 out of 10 times.

I don't expect you to slap him upside his stupid rotted pumpkin head, but at the very least stop acting like he'll disintegrate if you criticize his behavior.

We know you've all been programmed to blame everything under the sun on Biden, and that's unfortunate because he accomplished WAY more as President than trump could in 10 terms.

But can you just leave him the f*ck ALONE while the man is suffering extreme pain from cancer????

Rediscover what the hell it felt like to have a moral bone in your diseased bodies, to have a goddamn spine, and start acting like it.

The man gave up 47 years of his life in service to the public, he deserves better than this.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Size of a dose of the MMR vaccine and many other childhood vaccines: 0.5 ml

Standard size of a bottle of soda: 591 ml

A bottle of soda is 1,182 times bigger than the vaccine dose

The president of the United States says he's seen "proof" they're about the same size

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The GOP tells you that the guy who falls asleep daily on live tv and hid in a catering cart after an Iranian assassination threat is making USA look more powerful on the world stage. All while raising prices on everything and weakening our economy. Wake up, this isn't winning.

Not only did Trump use all of the people on Air Force one as a decoy, everyone in his inner circle was ok with it too.

This whole fetid regime is rotten to the fucking core.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Newsom: "That $400 million Qatari plane? That's not a $400 million gift. It cost you $936 million. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency. That has happened on our watch ... this Board of Peace in the Middle East? That's so he can get a piece of the Middle East."

[Sawyer Hackett @SawyerHackett]

Imagine what Fox News would say if Biden or Obama had to be smuggled off Air Force One via a catering truck—for fear of being killed by the Iranian regime.

And then lied to the entire country about his whereabouts.

[Dittie @DittiePE]

Thanks to the cuts to USAID, the Congo is now facing its fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record.

At least 2,011 people have died. More than 4,300 cases have been confirmed. The death toll doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 in less than a month.

This outbreak is being driven by multiple factors: conflict, poor infrastructure, overwhelmed health systems and delayed detection.

The Trump administration dismantled USAID and slashed U.S. global-health funding, including programs that supported disease surveillance, outbreak detection and response capacity in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Health experts and people involved in the response have said those cuts directly weakened the surveillance chain and hampered the ability to detect and contain Ebola early.

And now the United States is sending $242 million to help fight the outbreak that DOGE incompetence caused.

We didn’t cause Ebola.
But we did weaken the systems designed to detect and contain it.

That isn’t efficiency. It’s ignorance.
