RFK Jr has 'unreviewable' authority to reshape vaccine policy, DOJ lawyer tells judge A lawyer for the Trump administration told a judge on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has such broad authority over vaccine policy that he could even ​scrap re...

Judge Murphy: β€œIs it your position that is totally ​unreviewable? If [RFK Jr.] said instead of getting a shot to prevent measles I think you should get a shot that gives you measles, is that unreviewable?”

Department of Justice: Yes

Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.

I do not exaggerate.

Advice for any US citizen - start reading and watching news sources outside the US for additional information.

It's time for MAGA Republicans in the House AND the Senate to wake the hell up and move over to the Democratic side right now and get Trump under control.

Donald Trump is insane.

Israel must have some of the Epstein file videos if they're able to get Trump to wage this war.

Or they promised him some prime real estate on the graves of thousands of Palestinian children.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Dispatches from Minnesota: I can't even find words for how royally fucked everything coming out of our federal administration is. It feels like they're engaging in war crimes abroad to distract from the war they're waging against their own citizens.

I have an old awk script that is the core of my home automation. It's just accumulated mess over a decade, now 3300+ lines of code.

For the 1st time ever, an AI was able to successfully refactor and optimize the code (Claude). And it works correctly on the first try.

It's over.

More commonly they are fought for financial goals, hidden behind politics. Wars are about profit. If people really understood that, internalized that, they would stop participating. They create a poor class, so they can get people to risk dying for survival and class advancement.

If that every happened there would be no wars. Where's the profit in that?

Good luck. I'm not allowed to read for more than a few minutes at a time. They see me sitting still with my eyes scanning side to side and they think I'm having a seizure or something. πŸ˜‚

"smartphones are killing education"
education has been intentionally strangled by the us government for decades, no child left behind actively forced schools to teach only to the test and that means rote memorization, the WORST way to learn ever devized

this is the system working as intended
