What our leading public health officials think
His view on the future is pretty bleak. He thinks much of what public health has achieved in the US will be dismantled:

Marxists: AI is a technology for capital to crush labor power and take control of everything.

Sensible people: this is doomerism and hysteria.

His lab was humming with discovery. After one year under Trump, it’s almost silent
John Quackenbush built a lab that is at the forefront of human genetics research and bioinformatics. Trump administration cuts have put it in danger of collapse.

America is not now, and never has been, a Christian nation.

In fact, it was *explicitly* designed *not* to be.

Most of us learned this in junior high—at the latest.

But Vance is a white nationalist who’ll say or do anything to get even a *shred* more power, so this perversion of our history fits.
JD Vance gets the biggest applause of his speech so far when he says "by the grace of God we always will be a Christian nation"

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If everyone who was appalled at RFK Jr’s completely unhinged week, yelled at their house rep to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against him, we could start an Epstein files style people power movement.

Unnecessary, possibly unethical $1.6M being awarded to controversial Danish group by CDC to study Hepatitis B vaccine that has already been studied for decades and been proven effective. This is over the objections of numerous virologists, scientists and the WHO.

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).

Again. It’s not the legitimate scientists at HHS who want to “overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule.

It is RFK Jr. and his handpicked group of megalomaniacs who believe that their ignorant whims override the entirety of the body of scientific evidence for vaccines.

I think Asha Rangappa is right — they are lining up the external and internal enemies. Or trying to. This is very risky and will almost certainly blow up in their faces.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault.

That's not a man who thinks he's winning.
