#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice     #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3081   The Trump administration is paying another $900 million to get two more companies to give up their offshore wind leases, meaning that the Trump admin has now agreed to pay out nearly $2 billion to stop three future offshore wind projects.   These projects would have delivered much needed cheaper, cleaner energy to homes and businesses. Instead Trump kills good-paying union jobs and send energy prices even higher. Instead, Trump is requiring the investments to be made in oil and gas.   We have a choice in November to do better by remembering to #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice     #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE    wtp3080   Per the Washington Post, Trump’s move to drop the long-standing recommendation for newborn hepatitis B vaccination within 24 hours of birth will likely lead to additional infections and millions in added health care costs, new studies show. Hepatitis B is a virus that can cause lifelong infection, liver disease and cancer. Infants are at especially high risk: About 90 percent of babies who become infected develop chronic disease, compared with about 5 percent of adults, according to the CDC.   A study published by JAMA Pediatrics project 90 extra acute infections, 76 chronic cases, 29 virus-related deaths, and an increase of lifetime health care costs of $16.4 million. There is no cure for chronic infection.   Meanwhile, the GOP while professing to be for pro-life and family values sits by and does nothing!!!!   Several groups sued, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE   WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3079   Christopher Armitage, an independent journalist, is filing a disbarment proceeding against John Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, based on a massive conflict of interest.  Roberts's wife Jane earned $10,323,842.70 in documented commissions over seven years at a legal recruiting firm, placing senior lawyers at firms that then argued hundreds of cases before her husband's court. For sixteen consecutive years, Roberts mislabeled this commission income as "salary" on his mandatory federal disclosure forms, omitted his wife's equity stake in her employer for three consecutive years, and never recused himself from a single one of the 500-plus cases argued by firms paying his household.   Please remember to #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice       #wtpBLUE      WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3078   Furthering Trump’s goal of having as many uneducated Americans as possible, Trump dismissed the entire active membership of the National Science Board, the independent overseer of the National Science Foundation's $9 billion in annual grants that fund breakthroughs like GPS and MRIs.   It will take many years to repair the damage Trump is doing.   Please remember to #VoteBlue in November.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   Los organizadores de "No Kings" e Indivisible están promoviendo una huelga general el 1 de mayo, instando a "no trabajar, no ir a la escuela, no ir de compras" en ciudades de todo el país para impulsar los derechos de los trabajadores y la inversión pública.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   The "No Kings" organizers and Indivisible are promoting a May 1 general strike, urging "no work, no school, no shopping" in cities nationwide to push for workers' rights and public investment.

@DammitKAdler Good morning, Kris! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday folks! Fyi: I'm not online much at the moment. Hard drive issues. Waiting on a new machine. Timed tweets set up. Meanwhile, I see that one of my posts is marked as being translated from Filipin0. That's a lie. I only speak/write in English. X lies like DT.

Dr. Oz announced yesterday that his “top priority” is rooting out fraud. He’s launching a 50-state Medicaid audit. Here’s what his actual fraud record looks like. The Biden administration suspended 850 insurance brokers from the ACA Marketplace for suspected fraud — unauthorized enrollments and plan-switching to collect illegal commissions. The Trump administration reinstated all 850. No investigation. No explanation. Confirmed by GAO. 🧵

Joe Rogan At 1:40 in this clip he says "Tetanus is not dangerous" Just to clarify TETANUS IS F@*KING DANGEROUS Yours sincerely an Infectious Diseases specialist

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice     #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3077   Even though there is a new CDC study showing that Covid-19 vaccines roughly halved the chances a US adult would need to visit the ER or be hospitalized with their infections last fall and winter, you won’t hear about it from the DCD. The current head of the CDC, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who’s also director of the US National Institutes of Health, has blocked the publication of those findings in the CDC’s flagship journal, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice     #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE    wtp3076   Per Politico, it's 3 times harder for blue states to get disaster funding under Trump, with Trump approving just 23 percent of blue state requests for disaster aid, compared to 89 percent for red states.  Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  And Trump and the GOP are cutting $1.3 billion in FEMA grants.

#wtpBLUE   WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3075   It’s 24/7 GOP corruption.   Per the Washington Post, the Trump administration’s contract governing hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations to build Trump’s White House ballroom shields donors’ identities, excludes the White House from conflict of interest protections, and was disclosed only after a lawsuit and a judge’s order. The contract provisions allow wealthy donors with business before the federal government to contribute anonymously to Trump’s project while exempting the White House from key conflict of interest safeguards and limiting scrutiny by Congress and the public.   Please remember to #VoteBlue.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice       #wtpBLUE      WE THE PEOPLE   wtp3074   During the dead of night, the Senate GOPpassed a $70 billion blank check for ICE while voting down proposals to bring down the cost of health care, housing, food, and energy, or in any way reforming ICE.   Now the fight moves to the House.   Please remember to #VoteBlue in November.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO   ¿Por qué la administración de Trump elige poner a nuestros miembros del servicio en un riesgo innecesario?   Las vacunas contra la gripe han salvado innumerables vidas. Y, sin embargo, el Secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth anunció que el personal militar de EE. UU. ya no estará obligado a recibir una vacuna anual contra la gripe, a pesar de que los médicos dicen que esto afectará nuestra preparación militar. Las vacunas contra la gripe han sido obligatorias para el ejército desde 1945. Debido a la “gripe española” de 1918, hubo 45,000 muertes de militares de la Primera Guerra Mundial por influenza en comparación con 53,402 muertes en combate.   Según los CDC, esta temporada de gripe se estimó que se previnieron 180,000 hospitalizaciones y 12,000 muertes gracias a la vacunación.

#TrumpIsUnfitForOffice    #wtpBLUE    WE THE PEOPLE   Why does the Trump administration choose to put our service members at unnecessary risk?   Flu vaccines have saved countless lives.  And yet Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. military personnel will no longer be required to receive an annual flu vaccine, despite doctors saying this will impair our military readiness.  Flu vaccines have been mandated for the military since 1945.  Because of the 1918 “Spanish Flu,” there were 45,000 WW1 military deaths from influenza compared to 53,402 combat deaths.   Per the CDC, this flu season there were an estimated 180,000 hospitalizations and 12,000 deaths were prevented by vaccination.

Holy smokes. Raphael Warnock is mopping the floor with RFK Jr. "Sir, even as you seem distracted while I talk to you about deadly diseases; I think you're dangerous to the American public, and you ought to be FIRED. If you're not fired, you ought to have the decency to RESIGN."

"Only very sick kids should die from measles" No, Secretary Kennedy NO child should die from measles. Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

No lies detected.

John Cornyn has been in public office longer than I’ve been alive.  He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas. What’s the hold up?
