This is exactly how AI should not be used in the classrooms. They want to find a way to eliminate public schools altogether. A first big step is replacing teachers with tech and this only hurts America���s kids. Also, if you talk to kids, they don’t want AI & humanoids replacing their teachers.

The MMR vaccine has no aborted fetal tissue in it

This is the kind of nonsense that only a committed anti vaxxer like RFK Jr would say to scare people off one of the safest and most effective vaccines in history.

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Last year at this time, Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy terminated 22 mRNA research contracts worth $500 million. Same cost as Trump’s gifted Qatari plane.

Today, Merck and Moderna announced that an experimental breakthrough vaccine treatment — developed through mRNA research previously funded by NIH — has shown signs of preventing cancer from returning or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients.

Thank god the NIH funded this before Kennedy and the Trump administration showed up to degrade America’s health and leadership.

Which Republican senator has the courage to tell Secretary Kennedy that his decisions are making Americans sicker and letting China take the lead on research, science, and technology?

I’ll save you the time and give you the answer: none of them.

Last night @SecKennedy defended the President’s claim that children receive vaccinations the size of a soda bottle. His explanation was that the President meant the cumulative volume of the whole schedule when he said he’d seen vaccinations “the size of a soda bottle being poured into a child.”

OK, then let’s do the whole schedule.
A vaccine dose is 0.5 milliliters. One tenth of a teaspoon. Every parent who has taken their kid in for shots has seen the syringe. It’s not a soda bottle. That’s absurd.

The biggest visit of a child’s life is the 2-month visit. Five injections, about 2.5 milliliters, half a teaspoon. Everything a baby receives by injection in the first 6 months of life adds up to roughly 2 teaspoons.

The whole schedule, birth through age 18, every recommended vaccine, including a flu shot every single year, comes to roughly 55 injections and under 30 milliliters. A shot glass holds 44. Eighteen years of childhood vaccines do not fill a shot glass.
A 20-ounce soda bottle holds 590 milliliters. That is more than 20 times the entire schedule, more than 200 times the biggest visit, and more than 1,000 times an actual dose. No version of this claim comes anywhere near a soda bottle. An executive order was signed anyway.

@SecKennedy also repeated that childhood vaccines were never tested in placebo-controlled trials. My colleagues and I have systematically reviewed every randomized trial of childhood vaccines back to 1940. Nearly all were placebo-controlled, every vaccine on the schedule was evaluated in at least one placebo-controlled trial, and close to half used plain saline or the equivalent. The mumps vaccine inside the MMR was proven against placebo in the 1960s. The first hepatitis B vaccine was proven in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1980. The 1954 polio trial randomized roughly 600,000 children to vaccine or placebo, still the largest medical experiment ever conducted.

So here is where we are. The President described something that does not exist and could not exist, a soda bottle of vaccine poured into a child, the same instinct as suggesting people inject disinfectant. And when the Secretary of Health and Human Services was asked a simple yes-or-no question about whether it was accurate, he couldn’t say no. He defended it. The nation’s top health official either doesn’t know what a vaccine dose looks like or won’t say so, and I honestly don’t know which is worse.

Nobody around this president will correct him, even about a syringe, even with children’s health on the line. So the fantasy stands, the executive order stands, and parents are left frightened of something that was never real, in the middle of the worst measles year since 1991, with over 2,500 cases and counting.

The arithmetic takes five minutes. The fear takes five seconds. That’s the whole strategy.

Vaccines do not cause autism

Vaccine doses are nowhere close to “the size of a bottle of soda,” they’re a fraction of a teaspoon

The combo MMR vaccine is not “quite lethal,” it’s been very safe for more than five decades

There are no separate M/M/R shots available in the US and won’t be anytime soon 

Autism prevalence wasn’t “1 in 10,000��� in 2006, it was 1 in 110

No state has been requiring little kids to get “72 jabs,” nor even by age 18

Fact check on the rapid-fire vaccine misinformation President Trump delivered yesterday while pushing to change US vaccine policy: https://t.co/qSF53N8XJW

[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.

I’m not a Democrat, but glad to see a leader in the party saying this

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

I'm tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas.

I'm a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I'm rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life.

But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. "No police, no prisons, no borders" is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.

If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.

On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas.

They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.

Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.

Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice.

But we see you.

Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need "party poopers. So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes.

They aren't. And we are smart enough to know the difference. 💩

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Things conservatives told me when I was in my 20’s:

*Character counts
*Crony capitalism is bad
*Russia is our enemy
*Tariffs are taxes
*The Constitution is sacrosanct
*Government power should be limited, restrained, and checked by congress.

Guess they were just joking.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

That’s the point. Lay the ground for emergency powers, laws increasing federal control of elections, troops at selected polling sites, cracking down on mail-in voting, etc. There will also be more of these speeches, to project him as the one true source of info and power.

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

A reminder on the evolution of 2020 "stolen election" theories: First we had mail-in fraud + Dominion + "illegal law changes" (Nov–Dec 2020) then → Georgia election workers + foreign interference/Italygate (Dec 2020–Jan 2021, concurrent) then → 2,000 Mules (ballot stuffers) (2022) then → social-media-censorship revival via Twitter Files (Dec 2022) then → renewed foreign-interference claims (2024–present).

Through all this, we've had:

1. Dominion getting $787 million from Fox News for defamation

2. Rudy Giuliani admitting he lied about Georgia election workers (and the jury awarding the workers $148 million)

3. Sidney Powell admitting in court "no reasonable person would conclude" her claims of election fraud “were truly statements of fact"

4. The Gateway Pundit retracting claims of election fraud in Atlanta

5. The Media company that put out D'Souza's 2,000 Mules film apologizing and removing it after law enforcement proved it falsely accused people of fraud

6. Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) settling with Smartmatic

It is NOT true that none of these allegations have seen a court room. Most have. Of the 64 cases of fraud that Trump and his legal team filed in court, 30 were dismissed that included a hearing on the merits, 14 were voluntarily dismissed by Trump and his allies before a hearing, and just 20 were dismissed for lack of standing before a hearing on the merits. One case, involving far too few votes to impact the election, prevailed in Pennsylvania. That case was about voter ID deadlines, not election fraud.

Those are the facts.

Whatever happens Thursday night, please try to remember them.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Keep in mind that Trump‘s persistent delusion and propaganda that 2020 was stolen is essential pretext to his attempting to interfere in the midterms and 2028. He’s been laying that ground since the day he was reelected. Wake up.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

The White House was never supposed to be a palace.

George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

The White House belongs to the American people. Every president is just a temporary tenant.

“America doesn’t have magic dirt, and it certainly doesn’t have magic blood. But it does have a magic idea”

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Birthright citizenship is especially noxious to the populist right. They scorn it as relying on magic dirt — the idea that there is something inherent in American soil that makes a person an American citizen.

Yet the same populists seem to believe in something like magic blood — that one’s lineage can make one superior.

America doesn’t have magic dirt, and it certainly doesn’t have magic blood. But it does have a magic idea — the creed that declares “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” https://t.co/lDocJeovCh
