Sen. Angus King on Secretary Hegseth saying he wasn’t in the room for the second strike: “I want to see his calendar for that day. I want to know what meeting he went to. I want to know how long he was, where he was.”

Because of science: Your mother survived childbirth. You never got polio. You’ve never seen smallpox. Your friend with type 1 diabetes is alive. That infection you had? Antibiotics cured it. We don’t live longer because of luck. We live longer because science works.

During his late-night posting spree on Monday, the president promoted bonkers conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, the Biden White House, US elections, and more: cnn.com/2025/12/04/pol…

BREAKING: US Senator Jeff Merkley, moments ago: "If this was a legal action of war, then it would be a war crime. If it was not, it was a murder. In either case, again, the right way to find out if there are drugs onboard a boat, is you stop the boat, you board it, you

You can’t cut supports, cram kids into bigger classes, ignore behaviour and mental-health crises, rush out new curricula, and starve schools of resources and then act shocked when the results aren't what you want. #onted #eqao

In one of the most pathetic and humiliating moments in history, Trump just received the new inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. They literally invented a “peace prize” to keep him happy after he didn’t receive the actual Nobel Peace Prize. Beyond parody

Sec. Kennedy must appear before the HELP Committee to explain why his vaccine advisory committee, in strong disagreement with the medical & scientific community, voted to end a decades-long recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine. This vaccine saves lives.

One can only hope that the American public ignores the poorly thought out recommendations on the hepatitis B birth dose at today's ACIP meeting. Here are my thoughts on a CNN clip

Trump increased U.S. military spending to record levels. He bombed Iran without approval from Congress. He's launched deadly air strikes on fishing boats in the Caribbean — while presenting no evidence to back up allegations of drug smuggling. "The peace president."

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fields questions from the press

Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che!

T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦 It should not be this hard. Our province spent $600 M on HEPAs that remain unplugged in corners gathering dust instead of cleaning our children's air. No amount of handwashing or coughing in the sleeve can take their place. #CleanAir should be the right of every child.

Fact check: The president today denied having said something he said on camera five days ago, then launched into a personal attack against the reporter who had accurately repeated his previous remark back to him. cnn.com/2025/12/08/pol…

Pediatricians reject CDC advisers’ guidance, plan to continue vaccinating all newborns against hepatitis B Hospitals and health departments across the country say they're not planning to change their vaccination policy. cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-vacc…

Influenza is taking down a LOT of elementary educators this week across #OntEd. If you need to leave something for a supply teacher and have limited time to plan, grab something from this folder (sorted by subject area) and focus on feeling better! drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

Every day that this does not happen compounds the crime. If we genuinely cared about children, we would feed them, keep them safe, and make the air safer to breathe.

Let us #PrayTogether for all those who suffer due to war and violence. Today I particularly wish to entrust to the Lord the victims of the terrorist massacre carried out yesterday in #Sydney against the Jewish community. Enough with this antisemitic violence! Let us eliminate

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other soon after WWII. One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing. The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Three children have already died. Lack of mitigation measures in daycares, schools, and long-term care facilities. Lack of hospital capacity. Lack of public health messaging. We need to do better. We need to elect better leaders.
