This is where he started. "Those who compete with H-1Bs don't have jobs.....Ok they have doordash jobs". When confronted by data he runs from his words. Evidence free exaggeration We make the case for reforming H-1Bs without such disreputable behavior https://t.co/bKhl2nfJ1g

A big — if preliminary — win for #AAP and pro- #vaccine policy today. A court has ruled Robert Kennedy's reconstitution of #ACIP and his department's rewriting of the childhood vaccination schedule are likely illegal. Developing story. https://t.co/0lMSGQrayz
