A little like when Trump wanted to just stop testing for Covid because there was too much Covid and so he wanted to just suppress the numbers.

When Donald Trump sued me and others for RICO, we didn't settle. We fought and won. Perhaps the legacy media should give that a try and stop debasing itself.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

There are those with business interests who have twisted themselves into a pretzel to whitewash Dr Oz’s dubious past.
