Border Patrol has joined other federal security forces in covering agents' faces while they operate. I work on security in Latin America and have seen the face-covering trend spread for years. But I never thought I'd see it in the US, where violent crime rates are a fraction.

It would do wonders for my sanity if the media would stop acting like RFK Jr is just someone with good motives but misguided, and instead transparently present him as someone actively trying to ensure the destruction of American public health and endangering millions.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

MI House R’s accidentally mandated gender-neutral bathrooms. Their new budget bill bans gatherings of “a single gender or ethnic group” in any common area in community colleges, language so broad it technically prohibits men’s or women’s restrooms altogether. Bigotry makes for sloppy law making! 🏳️‍⚧️🌈

I just watched a video of RFK Jr saying on Joe Rogan’s show that the Spanish flu was caused by vaccines, which is of course impossible because the Spanish flu happened in 1918 and vaccines were developed in the 1930s. How is this uninformed bundle of toxic ego in charge of the US health system?

Jesus Christ... the Washington Post is so fallen from its former glory that it tacks on the name of Robert W. Malone—one of the most infamous, shameless, and dangerous misinformation merchants in the United States—as one of the Kennedy Jr. appointees without making any comment about his past at all.

Seeing RFK Jr.’s selections to replace the qualified scientists that he fired from ACIP, I very much doubt that the U.S. will have ready access to COVID19 and flu vaccines for 2025. And it could be even worse than that. Bill Cassidy is to blame for voting to confirm RFK Jr. He’s a disgrace.

Wahls: During the nomination fight with Hegseth, she expressed some reservations that turned out to be very well-founded—but Joni didn’t do the right thing. She said back in 2014 that she’d go to Washington and “make ’em squeal.” I’d say Joni Ernst is all squeal, no bacon.

The life-saving COVID vaccine was developed because of federal research investments at a Mass-based company. Disbanding HHS’s COVID advisory panel and targeting Moderna is yet another baseless attack on Massachusetts and example of RFK Jr’s incompetence. Vaccines work. RFK Jr should resign.
