Politicians say they care about people being harmed by drugs, but drop the life-saving Narcan program.
Whenever a politician mentions fentanyl they should be asked about the Narcan program.
Conspiracy theories about immigrant truck drivers based on the MCMIS database similar to VAERS database anti-vax conspiracy fictions.
This story is about a right-wing conspiracy about CDLs based on misinterpreting things on the MCMIS database. and it really reminds me of how anti-vax conspiracy fictions use the VAERS database to mix up data that doesn’t show anything like what they say.
Is the Pope Marxist?
The bear poops in the woods and Pope Leo XIV was born in Chicago, lived in Peru a lot, and has spent a large part of his life ordained in Holy Orders, so we know he’s Catholic.
Weird constituent treatment by Tennessee Republican.
The story that Kristi Burke tells about Rep Diana Harsbarger’s staff constituent contacts is just so outside what could be considered or should be considered normal.
MAGA is actually still obsessed with covid.
And the reason I know MAGA is actually fixated on covid is because I occasionally watch right-wing MAGA videos by far right pundits and various right-wing content creators, to find out what they’re saying for myself.
Bonkers quack anti-vax conspiracy social media research pseudoscience stuff floated as legislation.
Politics controls governance. Governance influences every aspect of life, including healthcare. And the crackpot opposition is crowding out the legitimate reasonable experts enough to get bills introduced that are poo circus nonsense.
People who care about public health: stay focused on fundamentals regarding vaccines.
And definitely nobody should be getting medical information from media interviews with RFKJr either because he’s not even a doctor and says stuff he’s pulling out of the air, or somewhere else.
No, half of Americans are not actually so attached to Donald Trump.
Stop repeating MAGA troll propaganda that’s not true about half of Americans as hopped up Trumpies. Think of all the toddlers who don’t follow politics – they’re Americans too! I was listening to Conspirituality Podcast from very recently about Curtis Yarvin, and they ended the episode saying something that’s absolutely not true, and is actually […]
Martial Law and the Insurrection Act is the garbage politics propaganda of losers.
People repeating this is, I believe, an attempt to use the mere exposure effect (aka reiteration effect), to just get people used to hearing this and that it could happen.
Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the other forms of government?
Politics is always involved in healthcare, and always should be. Doctors and scientists are humans and should not pretend to be above the rest of us or operating outside of the reality of our communities.
Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voting for the SAVE ACT to subjugate women is not surprising.
I read that Marie Gluesenkamp Perez attends a far right wing prayer group in congress and was even trying to recruit others into it.
People should be worried about polio. And a lot of other preventable infectious diseases.
It’s not really surprising Joe Rogan is platforming some right-winger who thinks polio is no big deal, a large amount of the left seems to not realize that covid is more serious than polio.
Why is Democrat John Fetterman acting with a lack of decorum while receiving a creepy gift?
I know John Fetterman thinks he’s a hotsy-totsy, but I don’t know why.
Bad actors leveraged the effects of stigma to manipulate people to thwart public health in a pandemic.
People deliberately spread disinformation, on purpose. Stigma is a known quantity when it comes to disease, especially infectious disease. Scientific American – January 6, 2025 The Real Reason People Don’t Trust in Science Has Nothing to Do with Scientists Propaganda works, is the real upshot of a survey showing lingering post-pandemic distrust of science By […]
Democratic politicians to hold shadow hearing on Justice Dept. dropping corruption charges against Eric Adams.
I’m all for shadow government — bring it all over this shitshow.
Excuse for not fixing mistakes made by ICE renditions is that Trump is too weak and powerless?
I was disturbed to hear that President Trump is so subjugated by a foreign leader in Central America that they can’t fix the mistakes by ICE because the American president is so completely dominated by the iron hand of Bukele?? I don’t know why Congress would allow this level of impotence in the White House!
Rep. Rob Bresnahan has gone all in on the nightmare of data centers to fuel AI scams.
Rep Rob Bresnahan’s stock trades, including in tech companies, as of March 2025 are interesting.
Lancaster County Pennsylvania gets a Dem state senator for the first time since 1889.
This is a county that’s been taken over by some fringe right-wing extremists on the local level which might’ve gotten more voters engaged.
People who oppose public safety & human health are never right.
This is an example of Kaiser Family Foundation and MedPage Today conforming to manufacture consent, by introducing the topic this way in a PR piece that is of course outrageous clickbait material.
