Federal mRNA funding cut is 'most dangerous public health decision' ever, expert says Many public health experts and scientists say they are stunned by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for future vaccine develop...

It’s mind boggling how many additional people this administration is killing.

“I have been in this business for over 50 years on the front lines of public health…And I can say unequivocally that this was the most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.”

Wait you mean a Democrat can just go to a microphone and make news and it’s not always about cowering under your desk all day, consulting a focus group to shape a mealy mouth message?

Whoa if true

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

“Nobody came”: Hill Country flooding survivors recount anguish, neglect during emotional hearing Residents told state lawmakers about what they’ve lost and the hardships they’re experiencing almost a month after the July 4 disaster devastated the region.

The MAGA-led response to the Texas floods is going great - so great that locals are still finding rotting human body parts in the debris that no one in government appears to care about picking up:

Not sure why you're in journalism if you're doing shit like this with your life in this moment.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Email from an nih.gov email address addressed to Jenna Norton saying they are removing the KICC meeting summary due to “unauthorized language” including “health equity” and “racial/ethnic”

Jay Bhattacharya says that Program Officers made up banned words lists at NIH.

This is a real email I got at NIH. (Granted, before Jay started.) But nothing has changed since he joined.

I refused to censor the summary, so it remains unposted. And I have tried since Jay arrived.

Yet another helpful explainer to counter the ignorant disinformation spouted by the unqualified extremist who is currently destroying the HHS

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know it And they don't want you to notice.

It is a truth that if you want to hide what you are doing in Washington, announce it on a Friday evening in the heat of August. Better yet, in place of clarity, reference some pages in another document, so that people have to track that down and read it in order to grasp what you are telling them

someone hacked the audio system and started playing circus music as she was talking and i am WHEEZING

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Generational public health sabotage

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Overbooked lounges.
Free Chardonnay drained before noon.
All those moments…lost with my boarding pass…like tears in the rain.
Time…to sit at Chili’s Too

Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.

Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”

“Gagging”

for many of the worst people in our politics, the only real belief they have is that it should be illegal for us not to like them

WATCH: “In video captured by the Tennessee Holler…”

On @msnbc, @eriellereshef plays our video of @brotherjones.bsky.social getting banned from @GovBillLee’s Teslas-only tunnel announcement — even though it was a state event, in his own district.

Rick Scott on why he opposes the bill to ban congressional stock trading: So this idea that we're going to attack people because they make money is wrong—it's absolutely wrong...I think it's disgusting, what this is. What is going on here?

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Army Secretary forces West Point to rescind appointment given to Easterly The United States Military Academy abruptly ended the appointment of Jen Easterly to a high-profile academic position in West Point’s Department of Social Sciences, according to a memorandum issued We...

In another episode of “we live in the stupidest timeline,” Jen Easterly, a woman I have (1) never met and (2) did not work for, had her appointment at West Point terminated because Laura Loomer lied about both of us in a tweet.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

the republican party is a criminal conspiracy against the american republic

Bove is genuinely still on the hook for possible criminal contempt charges. Which, if the DC Circuit ever gets off its ass and does something about its "administrative" stay (since APRIL), may require him to testify under oath, despite being a judge. Unprecedented situation.

Reposting Adeel Manji’s open letter to Pres. Biden warning about the unwarranted, bigoted, smear campaign that derailed his confirmation to a seat on the 3rd Cir Court of Appeals.

Emil Bove was confirmed tonight to the seat left open by Manji’s aborted confirmation. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Adeel Mangi, Biden's Muslim Court Pick, Rips 'Senatorial Swamp' That Sank Him "The unfortunate fact remains: We have a fundamentally broken process for choosing federal judges," he wrote to the president.

The only reason this court seat was open for Emil Bove to fill is because Democrats helped tank Joe Biden's pick for this seat, Adeel Mangi.

Mangi was an objectively impressive nominee who was also Muslim, so of course he was derailed by over-the-top Islamophobia.

“It really is something,” a former senior administration official tells Rolling Stone.

“They are just bragging about doing now what we all were told to downplay or lie about in his first term. … Incredible.”
