Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

RFK Jr fired the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices panel on Monday. Today he replaced them with people who have no expertise in vaccines or immunology. They're quacks from the $6.3 trillion a year wellness industry 👇

Dr. Oz, CMS chief, when asked about people who might lose their healthcare with Trump‘s “big, beautiful Bill“ says “go out and prove that you matter“.
These words are a disgrace to him as a person, and as a physician. People matter because they are people, not because they are units of utility.

Sadly true. I don’t think the isolationist anti-intellectuals realize the damage they are doing here. By the time they do, it will be too late.
Others have tried to capture the economic effects of the tariff bomb. Here’s another: Trump has destroyed US diplomacy. Forget the liberal international order. US diplomacy as we knew it is over. Thread: 1/

How unplanned, idiotic, and amateurish are Trump’s tariffs, you ask? They include Heard Island, and McDonald Island, two uninhabited rocks 1000 miles away from the closest landmass. Which is Antarctica.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

In case anyone is still unclear on whether Kennedy is just another big, stupid, antivaxxer, the USDA has actually already approved a vaccine for poultry that provides immunity to bird flu without illness or death. But I guess instead we are never gonna have eggs again.

If anyone actually believed the lie about “just seeking peace“, maybe this latest development will convince them the current administration is actively helping the aggressor.
Maxar has cut off satellite imagery access to Ukraine, undoubtedly due to pressure from the U.S. government.
This means that not just classified, but commercially available unclassified intelligence products are being cut off.
I now fully expect Starlink to be next.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Horrific: One of the USAID programs Trump just terminated was set to deliver lifesaving treatment to hundreds of thousands of starving kids abroad. Much of it is now sitting in a Georgia warehouse.
