Here’s what RFK Jr. has done since a measles outbreak began which has killed 3 people so far:

1. Buried a CDC report showing need for vaccination

2. Recommended vitamin A, resulting in liver damage in kids

3. Defunded vaccination clinics nationally

4. Hired a fraud to manipulate vaccine data

124. The Thursday Night Massacre(s)
Two very different episodes on Thursday provide growing evidence of a Department of Justice that is showing less respect, by the day, for the rule of law.

If you weren’t clear: a President ordering a Federal health and disease agency to delete pages on its website is a public health crisis.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.

Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”

CDC Data Are Disappearing
The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

Bingo. Producers and editors, please remember:

The way you write headlines matters.

This fascist administration wants you to write the letters "DEI" so that it keeps showing up across digital platforms, rather than:

"Trump administration fails to provide facts or evidence about crash at DCA"
During disaster events, the right moves quickly to frame the event for political gain. The “DEI did it” frame has been one of their favs for the last few years: the ship/bridge crash, Boeing plane issues, now LA fires and the DC crash. The framing contest starts before the bodies are recovered.

BREAKING NEWS:

Donald Trump has just signed an Executive Order that appears to officially suspend US military aid to Ukraine.

The order is effective immediately.

There is no denying that Donald Trump is Putin’s pawn.

Do you think you'll be alerted at the next infectious disease outbreak, listeria outbreak, or other critical issue these health agencies have long warned us about when present? Think again.

This is very Putinesque....and dangerous to all.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.
