I went on TV while nursing and you couldn't tell (until the end) https://t.co/fhqKQvVBcX cc @CBCNews

Q: "Within 24 hours you got behind [El-Sayed's] campaign…Why would you do that?"

Haley Stevens: "That's called democracy, friend, right? You don't sign up for a Democratic Party to be salty grapes and just continue to hold a grudge. We have seen that play out. No shots here but we've seen that play out with out current president. Some might say Mr. Sanders pursued that approach as well when he didn't win a Democratic nomination."

Senator Bill Cassidy - a medical doctor and liver disease specialist - cast the deciding vote to confirm @SecKennedy and spoke on the floor about the assurances he received that Kennedy - and the admin - would not change existing vaccine recommendations.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

In the US the total routine injections by age 2, is 13.

They are:

Hep B, Valexis (DTaP, IPV, Hib), PCV, Valexis dose 2, PCV dose 2, Vaxelis dose 3, PCV dose 3, PCV booster, MMR(V), Hib booster, Hepatitis A #1, DTaP booster, Hepatitis A #2

In Denmark, by age 2 it is 11 doses because they combine their hepatitis boosters with the MMRV doses.

Even with voluntary inoculations, no child in the US has 72 injections.

The average American who is not diabetic, will take 53~ years to reach 72 injections, assuming they get an annual flu shot.

There also is no blanket “European Standard” of inoculation, it varies by country with Denmark being the lowest because they have approved combination doses.

A child in Denmark still gets all the same vaccines that a US child did before Trump’s proposed changes.

They just think you’re too stupid to look.

It's like a several-times-a-week thing now that Trump dozes off in the middle of a public event on national television. Doe we even need to wonder how legacy media would have covered this phenomenon if it had been Biden?

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

The man they accused of tearing up the Reflecting Pool has volunteered in our national parks for 20 years

They charged him w/ a felony w/o evidence, & it turned out to be a SHODDY sealant job BY THE ADMIN?

Davey & I sat down w/@npr to discuss👇-TN

This would let any president — including Trump — wall off a broad swath of communication from congressional scrutiny.

It lands as Democrats look increasingly likely to win back the House— and subpoena power.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

I know that at this point it's just taken as a matter of fact that Donald Trump makes statements like this, but it's critically important that we don't lose sight of just how unconscionable they are and just how unconscionable the decision is to support him in any way.

@emilykmay "public affluence" is 🎯

[emily may @emilykmay]

i love our pool so much, my life is much richer in the summer because of it. my kids are happy, I have friends who i am able to maintain relationships with simply because I see them at the pool. I would never want our own pool for this reason alone.

<Whispers> Maybe Democrats could take a break from fighting with each other and instead focus on Republicans circling the wagons around yet another abuser in their ranks.

[Michael A. Cohen (NOT TRUMP’S FORMER FIXER) @speechboy71]

The president of the United States using blatantly racist rhetoric about Somali-Americans in the Oval Office and its not even a news story.

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

I really hope for the next three months, every Republican is asked repeatedly if they endorse Max Miller, a man who broke his toddler’s collarbone.

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

In London, women can book a hotel room on a women-only floor w/ a key-card restricted corridor. No other benefits. The cost is £10 more. Because of risks of sexual harassment, assault and unwanted attention, travel often comes at a higher cost for women.https://t.co/Vszkpblmt3

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

Ah yes, four more trips to the doctor without any provable medical benefit. Just what every parent needs.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

A Republican candidate called children "cum trophies" and Mr. Family Values Mike Johnson is campaigning for him. The GOP has become the party of unabashed, disgusting misogyny and I hope women (and people who don't hate women) will wake the f up.

Someone let me know when a male pundit compares a woman candidate to Obama because she’s so talented. Thanks in advance.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

Of course no reproductive intervention is guaranteed but the degree to which reproductive technology has evolved is incredible. I wish this (and IVF) were universally covered by health insurance. Seems like one place the birth rate worriers and progressives could find common cause.
