Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:

1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

In case you want some sweet news today.

I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing.

For the entire school.

Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

In 2021, I got an encrypted email from a federal prosecutor who was chasing a predator and feared police were shielding him. For 4 years, I looked at whether corruption allowed one of the most prolific rapists in history to get away. Bizarre and wrenching to report: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
How Police Let One of America’s Most Prolific Predators Get Away
When a prosecutor began chasing an accused serial rapist, she lost her job but unravelled a scandal. Why were the police refusing to investigate Sean Williams?

7. Again and again, we see the same pattern: compliance disguised as pragmatism, retreat framed as strategy. And to those who justify it, the question remains—where is your line?

Please read and sign. No more money to Senate Dems until Chuck step down.
I believe in strong institutions and pragmatic strategy. Purity politics are destructive to progress. But our party leadership has become so anemic that we've been left with no choice but to call for Mr. Schumer's removal.

Join our call for him to step down: www.change.org/p/boycott-co...

🚨Schumer is compromised, by who (Republicans, Russians, Oligarchs, etc.) or by what (spinelessness, greed, incompetence, etc.) is not important.

🎯Assume from here on now that he's a threat to democracy just like Trump.
