RFK Jr.’s removal of all ACIP members threatens public health by undermining scientific rigor, disrupting a trusted process, and fueling uncertainty about vaccine access.

This will erode trust and increase vaccine-preventable diseases.

Bill Cassidy (R) at RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing:

“If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) without changes”.

Today, RFK Jr. fired every single member of ACIP.

“Don’t be afraid” could be considered a central theme from @hcrichardson.bsky.social letters. Speak up, stand up for what is right, talk about choices both individually and collectively for education, governance and healthcare. There’s great power in our voice.

"I could find a cure to the most devastating diseases" and Democrats still wouldn't be happy, Trump says.

Trump has frozen all government research into cures for cancer and Alzheimer's.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Really interesting thoughts I haven't seen elsewhere on what the next phase of American democracy might look like.
One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents.

Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

Vaccines save lives and reduce healthcare costs. Those are facts. It is dangerous that RFK Jr., a political figure with no medical or public health training, is the choice to take the nation’s most powerful and important public health job.

Opinion | What R.F.K. Jr. Might Do on Vaccines
As the nation’s top health official, he could discourage vaccine research and production, and dissuade Americans from getting shots.

This is really important.

When you say things like “there won’t be anymore elections,” you’re granting DJT power that he doesn’t have.

It’s easy to think that way.
I can attest to it.

Don’t.
