It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
“What did people do before SNAP?”
They died.
Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.
They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore
The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others
📢 For the first time, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) has been impacted by a federal government shutdown. As the primary contractor for the OPTN, UNOS has been directed to pause much of its critical work, including some committee work that affects organ allocation and patient care.
While UNOS continues to operate the organ matching system and patient services line, and to address critical patient-safety matters, this disruption -- combined with the looming expiration of UNOS’ contract extension on Dec. 29 -- creates an uncertain and untenable environment for the U.S. organ donation and transplant system.
We urge lawmakers to act swiftly to restore funding and protect patient safety and the integrity of the system by fully resuming OPTN operations. Lives depend on it.

In a study of ~2.5M children, there was a small association between in utero Tylenol use and subsequent autism. But the association disappears entirely when you introduce sibling controls, implying it’s spurious.
This is inflammatory about a RARE issue and disregards the systems in place to protect organ donors and recipients. Additionally, proposed cuts to organizations that rely on government funding to protect patients are ignored here. @nytimes is inflicting fear in potential donors.
People across the United States have endured rushed or premature attempts to remove their organs. Some were gasping, crying or showing other signs of life https://t.co/IRjBp75V1Y
A new study estimates that USAID saved 92 million lives from 2001 to 2021, and that its demolition could kill 14 million people in only five years through 2030.
That would make the end of USAID by far the most impactful action Trump has taken this year. https://t.co/hq3amxoNL1
