@atensnut separate instance, AOC opposed congressional efforts to overturn a Washington, D.C. local ordinance. Allowing green card holders and permanent resident to vote strictly in local municipal elections (like school boards), which is permitted in a handful of U.S. municipalities.
@atensnut Never said that. She is against requiring physical documents like a birth certificate or passport creates a form of voter suppression. Argued that this process primarily targets and disenfranchises eligible, low-income citizens who may not have easy access to these documents
@EricLDaugh@SecKennedy In 1999 under President Clinton, the PHS & AAP ordered a phase-out of thimerosal (mercury) in child vaccines. By 2001 under President Bush, 95%+ of U.S. shots were preservative-free. The recent 2025 CDC policy only affects the final 5% found in flu shots mostly given to adults.
