RFK Jr. is seeking to destroy the consensus around vaccines, one of the greatest public health achievements in human history. People will die because of it.

What’s fun about this is that the President doesn’t control funding, that’s Congress and there’s this thing in the constitution about Congress not being able to make laws that control speech, one of the amendments?

Anyway I know that the constitution is being retired by the GOP so whatever I guess

More than anything else, Trump loves winning. Yet he has already positioned America to lose the 21st century, in three simple steps:
1. Alienate your friends.
2. Destroy your business environment.
3. Slaughter your golden goose (i.e., science and research).

Sometimes, Donald Trump had to admit, it was a little inconvenient being the one human being alive whose words had no meaning whatsoever.

Yes. Basic skill. Should be obvious.

Not so much any more, but when I started as a journalism academic, it was common for faculty to tell first year newswriting students, "Lose the adjectives." That was considered a virtue and a brilliant way to teach it.
Fundamentally, it’s a total journalistic failure to treat the statements of a mostly dishonest person exactly the same as the statements of a mostly honest one. Isn’t that just basic reporting skills to know the difference???
