There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.

Thinking of Surya Bonaly this week while watching the backflip return to Olympic ice. She was the first to land it on one blade in Olympic competition in Nagano in 1998. I will never forget how I jumped up and screamed seeing her do it live.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

It's nice that Dana Bash said "Oh, come on" when Dr. Oz blatantly lied. But she should have ended the interview immediately instead of letting him go on and telling hm, "Thank you so much for being here."
People are dying because CNN legitimizes Dr. Oz.

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?
DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

For example, how can a big media company that breaks a huge story on an example of corruption in government put that particular story behind a paywall? I understand it is a business, but exceptions should be made for certain kinds of articles.

It’s a common but ethically bankrupt practice to surrender paragraphs in your news stories to people you know are trying to trick your audience with disinformation. There’s no rule that news outlets have to do it.

It’s bad journalism for the New York Times to run a statement like this from Karoline Leavitt. It doesn’t inform anyone about anything and in fact gives legitimacy to bullshit. It’s a public disservice.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
