RFK Jr. is now taking COVID19 vaccines away from people who are pregnant. Infection during pregnancy increases the risk severe disease and potentially preterm birth.
The CDC itself lists pregnancy as a condition that puts people at risk for severe disease. The science doesn’t support this.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.

Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned.
Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

Rex Huppke admits that he has worn a Bulls hat. Which means, according to the MAGA mindset, that he's in MS-13. "I’m a middle-aged, non-Hispanic suburban man who’s whiter than ceiling primer, so I’m not sure how or when I became active in Hispanic gang culture."

Maybe Senator Van Hollen should be President, since Trump says he's not really involved with the situation, doesn't really know what's going on, and can't do anything. Who needs such a flaccid executive?

The news media are focusing on how Trump is abusing federal workers and depriving the American people of vital services as he vandalizes government agencies. But the media need to say more often that these actions are ILLEGAL.

The Chief Justice speaks out to protect democracy, at least as far as his own institution is concerned. Hopefully this signals an intent to stand for more. In the face of silence from the GOP, he has chosen to take this remarkable step of warning the president to back off.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read.
"Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Sen. Dick Durbin, who may be folding with Schumer, has set up his office phones so callers are told to hang up and call back later because of high call volume. His staff could set up a queue or take voice mail or hire more phone answerers. Instead, the message is: Go away. Who cares what you think?

His policies are wreaking havoc on the economy and upending American lives, and he will lie, blame, and distract to avoid any bit of responsibility. Don’t fall for it.
