To be clear: Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all. Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal. The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

Terrifying News: A hepatitis C outbreak strikes Florida, and the U.S. government shuts down the only CDC lab capable of testing the samples. This isn’t a mistake it’s political negligence putting lives at risk. We need leaders who act now and prioritize health. We need accountability and answers.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

A sudden $30–40B cut in U.S. global health aid has left a vacuum no one’s able to fill. Philanthropies, Europe, and China are stepping in, but the scale of need far exceeds their reach. 🩺🛟

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

It is very easy to see whether these pts have spike persistence from the vaccine or from an undiagnosed infection: do mass spec/proteomics on the antigens of pts: if all pts have the same signature which is the same as the one in the vaxx, you answered the question unequivocally

Nearly half of the CDC’s epidemiologists were dismissed despite growing bird flu concerns. The cuts, affecting around 1,300 CDC employees, align with Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s push to overhaul health agencies and shift focus away from infectious disease research. uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-admin-...

Discontinuing a program before establishing an alternative is a worrying approach. The U.S. administration declares an end to support for schools with COVID-19 vaccine mandates—while only now directing the Secretary of Education to develop a replacement plan. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

RFK Jr is a zealot. His zeal may be attractive to those who share his views, but by definition it means he is uncompromising, cherry picking, and dismissive of good data and science that is contrary to his views. That’s not someone you put in charge of a scientific agency.

The most important questions so far have come from Bill Cassidy and Mark Warner on the way we deliver healthcare to folks at HHS though Medicare, Medicaid and Federally Qualified Health Centers. It is also clear that RFK has no idea how those programs operate.

Chronic disease is devastating America. And RFK Jr has no idea what the job of HHS Secretary is- and he has no interest in the daily rigor of the job. He is a rubber stamp the Project 2025 healthcare agenda. Time to read it. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...

When I was at HHS I had to sell almost all my stocks including Meta and Apple because of the appearance of a conflict. But RFK will continue to get paid millions in referral fees for lawsuits against entities HHS regulates. Make it make sense.
