RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.
This is the spirit of Los Angeles.
This is California.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

The pediatric vaccine schedule doesn’t need to be “scrutinized.”
It has saved the young lives of millions worldwide.
It’s perfectly fine as it is.
Far more burning and urgent health matters to attend to. We certainly don’t need to invent one to keep busy.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
