I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary.

It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability.

We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.

I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

Justice for Epstein’s victims requires full transparency and accountability.

Yet AG Pam Bondi seems happy to blatantly defy the law explicitly requiring the release of the files with redactions for victims only.

This lawless administration knows no bounds.

Release the full files now.

In Washington these days, the word often whispered by Republicans and shouted by Democrats and Never Trumpers is “unhinged.” Trump's own top aide calls it an "alcoholic's personality." This was a week that Trump's uninhibited second term was on display. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims

Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance

This is what a coverup looks like

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.
