Trump nominates someone with real qualifications and not an anti-vaxxer to head CDC. Hopefully this leads to an end to the politicalization of the CDC previously seen under both Trump and Biden.

I'm all for protesting against Trump but it is also necessary to protest against the Democratic establishment which does nearly the same with nicer rhetoric. Those protesting today should've protested when Biden/Harris were also attacking democracy & civil liberties, supporting genocide & endless wars and crippling public health.

Nobody with any sense believes what Trump says on a regular day. Isn't it redundant to have him speak on April Fool's Day?
"the decline of democracy did not begin with Donald Trump but unfolded gradually across decades, including under the stewardship of the Democratic party leaders who now brand themselves as democracy’s last line of defense."
It is great to see Democrats finally turning out to oppose the wars, restrictions on civil liberties, and attacks on democracy which have been occurring under Trump--and under Biden while they were out to brunch.
Older adults more willing to have Covid vaccines when framed in terms of being a way to maintain their freedom from disease and avoid restrictions on activities caused by illness.

After six years of Covid we are seeing mass death and disability due to the attacks on public health by Trump in 2020, Biden the next four years, and now RFK Jr under Trump.

Don't promote Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris as being pro women when they support this. Plus there are women being sold in slave markets in Libya due to Hillary Clinton, but she continued to defend her actions there. Clinton, Harris and Trump are all terrible for women, children, and other living beings.
GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war. The true cuts mentioned are wrong but two Republican ideas here are actually excellent, fixing problems with Medicare--site neutral payments & ending payments to Medicare Advantage plans from upcoding.

This is NOT the right way to protest Israeli actions. Asshole Googles "what is the largest gathering of Israelis in Michigan?" and attacks synagogue with over 100 children in preschool. Fortunately no children were injured. Nobody should act like the IDF.
