"Two young men from DOGE, one who dropped out of college, commandeered the offices of the NEH in early April and unilaterally decided, without consulting any of the experts inside the agency, to cancel 1,500 grants"

RFK Jr justifies firing scientists on the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee due to “conflicts of interest.” Yet RFK Jr made almost $100K a year from anti-vax lawsuits and almost $90K a month from his anti-vax nonprofit. The person with the biggest conflict of interest at HHS is the one leading it.

Attended an event downtown LA today. Drove through downtown LA to get home. No riots. No looting. No burning cars. It's hard to overstate the extent to which this is a manufactured crisis.

"Kennedy has accused ACIP members of serving industry interests over public health. Nothing could be further from the truth. ACIP meetings are live-streamed. All votes & records are fully accessible....Members must disclose [COI] & recuse themselves...if any conflicts arise" @richbesser.bsky.social

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Science is under attack in the US. And no, we don't just mean trans research as Trump keeps saying. We mean cancer research, Alzheimer's research, vaccine research, and all those other things that improve health and longevity.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Earlier Trump refused to transfer 20,000 missiles to Ukraine to fight the Shahed drones raining down on civilians. The United States and Ukraine had already agreed on the transfer when Trump decided to skirt the deal after his conversation with Putin. These scenes are Trump and Putin's fault.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a clear and present danger to every person in the United States, and in fact in entire world. He must be REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.

BREAKING—RFK Jr has abruptly fired CDC’s entire expert panel of vaccine scientists, claiming the action is needed to restore faith in vaccines. This is a dark day for science and public health. Disinformation now has an iron grip on Trump CDC/HHS. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

Wow. Now CDC has no interim director and no scientific advisory committee for immunization practices Is RFK de facto CDC director? Who will the new ACIP members be who will advise him & determine what recommendations come out of CDC for immunization practices? www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

BREAKING: RFK Jr. fires ACIP, the panel responsible for advising on vaccines. This breaks a promise to Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to advance Kennedy as HHS secretary on the condition that he would, among other things, keep ACIP in place. www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

“We urge you as NIH Director to restore grants delayed or terminated for political reasons so that life-saving science can continue.” Over one hundred NIH employees publish a letter of dissent to Trump administration attacks on medical research, the “Bethesda Declaration.” 🧪

Ridiculous national TV l/CNN coverage - no mention of the reasons people are protesting in the first place - lots about the logistics of police response to squelch dissent.

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

Again, Black people, STAY completely the fuck out of ANY of these protests. They're getting so desperate to call martial law that if we even showed up a tiny bit as a group, it's game over. Focus on yourself, our community and family and friends.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough. The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians. It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.
