So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

RFK Jr. is eliminating transparency and public engagement on important HHS decisions that has been in place since 1971.
In a 1971 Federal Register document, the Department adopted a policy that waived the APA's statutory exemption from procedural rulemaking requirements for rules and regulations relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts (Richardson Waiver). 36 FR 2532 (Feb. 5, 1971). The Richardson Waiver thus required the Department to use the APA's notice and comment rulemaking procedures for these types of matters. The policy also instructed the Department to use the good cause exception "sparingly." Id. The Department later proposed a rule to formally confirm the policy regarding the Department's use of rulemaking procedures for rules and regulations relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. 47 FR 26860 (June 22, 1982). The proposed rule was never adopted. Effective immediately, the Richardson Waiver is rescinded and is no longer the policy of the Department. In accordance with the APA, "matters relating to agency management or personnel or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts," are exempt from the notice and comment procedures of 5 U.S.C. 553, except as otherwise required by law. Agencies and offices of the Department have discretion to apply notice and comment procedures to these matters but are not required to do so, except as otherwise required by law. Additionally, the good cause exception should be used in appropriate circumstances in accordance with the requirements of the APA. The Department will continue to follow notice and comment rulemaking procedures in all instances in which it is required to do so by the statutory text of the APA.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

“I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.”
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.
