MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

With President Donald Trump's re-election, RFK Jr.’s appointment at HHS, and the initiation of MAHA, biohackers have seen a bright new dawn. WIRED attended the 2025 Biohacking Conference to learn more—and things got pretty weird.

My heart is breaking in ways I didn’t know were possible—but I’m holding onto outrage. Two U.S. teens were dragged from their home in SoCal as federal agents shattered windows, hurled flashbangs, & took their parents. This is cruelty. This is terrorism. And it’s happening on our soil. F*ck ICE.

An army of moms are are currently with Senator Cantwell in Washington DC right now rallying to stop the Big Ugly Bill and save Medicaid and SNAP. We can't let Trump's aggressive rhetoric towards Iran distract us from the fact that his budget will destroy Medicaid. #MomSky

RFK Jr. fired all of the experts at CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He installed 8 unvetted people, including anti-vaxxers who should have ZERO role in deciding which vaccines insurance should cover. The committee's next meeting must be postponed.

These children are in tears and, probably, broken for life because after opening the door, ICE took their parents. Now, they blame themselves for it, as children tend to do. The lack of humanity from this administration is a gut-wrenching disgrace. Shame on Trump, Noem, and ICE. #OnYourSide

WATCH: Sen. Chris Murphy on the intel report showing the U.S. strikes on Iran nuclear program were not as effective as Trump claimed: "We were supposed to get a briefing today. It got canceled. I think it got canceled because they are trying to figure out how to lie their way out of this mess."

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Obviously it's a very bad moment but it is funny that Trump really seems to have thought he would win a Nobel Peace Prize by getting on the phone with a bunch of authoritarian sociopaths and saying "knock it off." Dumbest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History. The sports radio version.

NATO leaders are heading to The Hague for a two-day summit designed less for big strategy than careful stage management. The goal is to keep it short, keep it smooth — and keep Trump from blowing it up. Follow all our coverage here: www.politico.eu/tag/nato-sum... #POLITICOnato #natosummit

"Trump's gut" told him Iran's got nukes. Same gut that told him: -COVID would disappear by Easter -disinfectant might be medicinal if you inject it -he won the 2020 election -tariffs lower prices At this point, we should assume Trump’s "gut” is actually a 2nd, dumber brain that lives in his colon.
