Trump “deported” a 2-year-old citizen except you can’t really “deport” a US citizen. It’s called exile, and it’s unconstitutional.

Trump just canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna to develop a pandemic bird flu vaccine, right as their early trial showed strong results. Why? Politics over preparedness. RFK Jr. runs HHS. He hates mRNA. So science gets sidelined. Bird flu is mutating. The clock is ticking.
