RFK Jr.’s confirmation completes Trump's quack-ification of America. Republicans wanted this. So whatever fresh hell flows from RFK Jr. and this League of Incompetent Ninnies is on them. They own all of it.

Kennedy completes Trump's quack-ification of America. Republicans wanted this. | Opinion
I, for one, was delighted to see anti-vaccine loon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed as the new Health and Human Services secretary. Now comes chaos.

It is important to document and report violations against executive order court rulings. Readers have rightly pointed out there is a danger that DOGE could access info submitted to this site. Be aware. Also know that there are whistle blower protection laws.

So happy we could cry to see a new MMWR, published for the first time since Jan. 16. This week's seems dedicated to wildfires, with Notes from the Field reports from Hawaii and LA County.

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying.

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.
