If you can't stand on facts and science, you don't belong anywhere near the Department of Health and Human Services. RFK Jr. has got to go.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.

The malice and vengefulness with which RFK Jr. treats legitimate science and scientists will haunt us all for decades.

That this man is at the top of US science and healthcare should mean that no Senator who voted to confirm him should have a viable chance at reelection.

New information here on how Trump has turned the Department of Justice—which is supposed to work on your behalf—into his own personal law firm, punishing his enemies and rewarding his friends.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid.

The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated.

I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan).

Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass."

These are all monsters.

In these days of absolutely batshit crazy idiocracy, it's more important than ever to use tags to let folks know when you are being sarcastic or snarky. We can't see your face or hear the tone of your voice.

I use /S but /snark #Snark etc works too.

Republican Sen. John Barrasso, the majority whip, doesn’t commit to holding a Senate vote on the bill to release the Epstein files if it passes the House. “We’ll have a discussion about it and make a decision from there.”
