This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.

The White House is now just boldly asserting that the lab leak is “the truth,” when it is very very far from an agreed truth, even by the US intel community. As I said on CNN last night, CIADir Ratcliffe has gotten his agency only to say so with “low confidence,” which is intel speak for “hunch.”

A Children’s Health Defense crony who just presented a loony deck on thimerosal in vaccines with fake citations has…been hired to study vaccine safety at the CDC. Lysenkoism. Incompetents failing up. And yes: this is how much of a zealot RFK Jr is. (CNN reported on the deck. CBS on the hiring.)

Even GB News showed up - but decided not to film anything, as it was far too peaceful, organised, and displayed trans people in a favourable light (didn’t fit their narrative)!

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

With respect to this top staffer and their grief, I think this is a mistake. For Mike Lee and the sort of people who would work for him, it’s great news that they caused more pain to Democrats. They have no decency to which one could appeal. They will consume this with laughter, not regret.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

If Helen Lewis still regards Cass as legitimate science rather than a politicised stitch up, her attempt to detach herself from the genocidal escalation of transphobia in the US and UK is worthless. She made 'concerns' into a discourse out of spite and pique and she cannot escape responsibility.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
