A striking parallel:

Milhoan, chair of RFK Jr’s vaccine committee, sees the US explosion of measles as a chance to learn about how uncontrolled measles affects the unvaxxed

RFK Jr financed Danish researchers to learn what happens when you deny the hep B vaxx birth dose to babies in Guinea Bissau

“This is so dangerous as to approach criminality” is my opinion about RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan’s statements.

Instead of seeing the measles outbreak as the preventable tragedy it is, he views it as an opportunity to see how many kids die.

Another great piece by @melodyschreiber.com.
US committee is reconsidering all vaccine recommendations
Move is dramatic departure for advisory group under Kirk Milhoan, who says he doesn’t like the term ‘established science’

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED. SIGNED this 31st day of February, 2026. _________________________________________________ FRED BIERY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE [photo of Liam] Credit: Bystander Matthew 19:14 John 11:35

Let's be clear about what's happening: Trump gaslit voters about his abortion stance during the campaign because winning meant staying out of prison.

His administration is now pushing off abortion pill restrictions until after the midterms to try keep the House and prevent Trump being impeached

NEW: FDA asks judge to pause a lawsuit seeking to end telehealth prescriptions of abortion pill mifepristone until agency completes its unnecessary “review” of the drug.

This is NOT Trump admin defending abortion access—it’s buying time until after midterms

“I am Puerto Rican,” she says. “I send my kids with their passports to school. I’m having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and — just — you get that fight-or-flight response.” At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it’s in her back pocket. “I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped,” she says. “I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away.”

A reminder that every day brings a new horror, and we still have not addressed the horrors that stretch back to the first actions of this administration.
10 months later, I'm the last Columbia protester still in ICE custody
Inside the ICE facility where I'm being held, conditions are filthy, overcrowded and inhumane. None of us deserve to be treated this way.

Kicking off Senate Republicans' sham hearing on medication abortion by making absolutely clear:

MIFEPRISTONE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

This hearing is not about science. It's about Republicans trying to ban abortion nationwide.
