Screenshot from Fox News that says CDC official includes 'pregnant people' terminology and pronouns in resignation letter Daskalakis accused President Trump's administration of attempting 'to erase transgender populations' By Alex Nitzberg • Fox News Published August 28, 2025 1:47pm EDT

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A.

Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions.

This what Fox News served.

The 17 experts who were ousted from an HHS vaccine committee have published a commentary on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, saying that Robert Kennedy, Jr., and his self-picked panel are abandoning rigorous scientific review and open deliberation.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

After outcry, 4-year-old girl can stay in U.S. for lifesaving care After a medically fragile child’s parole was abruptly revoked, her family was left undocumented and terrified. Two months later, DHS reversed course.

She has short bowel syndrome, and only the U.S. offers the treatment that keeps her alive. But her family’s humanitarian parole was suddenly revoked.

Now, two months later, DHS has reversed course.

It’s time to change the way the media reports on protests. Here are some ideas. "People kept sharing these videos that were coming up and it was unambiguous what was going on. We weren't looking at a stream of videos of violence erupting or clashes breaking out. We were looking a...

FAUX News.....Where the Truth dies.......

The $10M steered to Hope Florida by the state was Medicaid money, document shows A draft agreement of a $67 million settlement between the DeSantis administration and a Medicaid contractor that had overbilled the state sheds new light on how $10 million of that amount was diverted...

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife?

An image of Trump’s Truth Social post. “Now is a good time to buy.” Rule 10b-5 prohibits the use of material nonpublic information for personal or third-party financial gain. Trump’s post, when combined with the market-moving announcement and Greer’s testimony, fits the legal definition of market manipulation and insider trading. Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.
