RFK Jr. says “natural” Vitamin A can prevent measles better than vaccines. Sounds healthy, right? Let’s torch that idea. 🧵
Chatted with a guy on the plane Monday about the loud rattling during take-off. Told him I had to remind myself that it was just the interior fixtures and didn’t really matter. He said, “Kind of the opposite of people, huh.” It hit hard.

Shout out to all telehealth mental health providers who are seeing Medicare/aid patients today with no guarantee of payment due to lack of determination by the government whether or not they will allow care that is not in person. (Unrelated to the shutdown.)

And…for personal profit. It was a money-maker.
One thing that I think some not-youngs forget (and is different from 20 years ago) is that Kirk used his ‘debates’ to generate video that could go viral and, to use an old phrase, catapult the propaganda. His debates weren’t in any way, shape, or form educational.
When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.

I would think Trump would be more forgiving of someone making false statements in order to get a loan. After all, that’s the same thing he did to achieve his title of felon.
U.S. President Donald Trump says he is removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for "cause," citing what he said were "false statements" on two mortgages she took out in 2021, about a year before the Senate confirmed her appointment to the Fed.

RFK Jr.: Well, I just started doing that a long time ago because I would go hiking in the morning and then I'd go straight to the gym. And I found it was convenient and now I'm used to it, so I just do it.

Also an attempt to diminish women in every space.

Oh, no QAnon team - your leader has been taken over by the Deep State.
Great point from @swin24.bsky.social: Trump and WH are showing a level of urgency about the Jeffrey Epstein mess that "you typically see from White Houses when they’re trying to pass major legislation."

On the pod, Swin is good on what a fiasco this is for Trump:

If anything, @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is too soft on Sen. Cassidy, who has betrayed everything he once stood for, as well as the medical profession, by ignoring RFK Jr.’s lies, all to delude himself into thinking he could control RFK Jr.’s worst impulses. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
