Both my patience and the Commerce Committee hearing with RFK Jr. have come to an end. Summary: RFK Jr. said Bill Cassidy lied when Cassidy asserted that RFK Jr. wouldn’t change the membership of ACIP (RFK Jr. fired all members). RFK Jr. doesn’t believe that HHS-funded HIV work saved any lives

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

At the risk of being a big dumper, the Minneapolis analogies have limits. The good news: challengers appear smart about using RCV here as in NYC. The bad news: Frey is a lot more capable politician & much harder worker than Cuomo. The hope: a change message is powerful if you bang the drum about it.

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

The reactionary-centrists that backed Cuomo & demagogued Mamdani—unwittingly, they created a referendum on their own power & preeminence. Now they have their answer. I'm talking about individuals & institutions here. Put them all out to pasture.

If I see ONE MORE POST about liberating women in Iran from extremist religion, I am going to become incandescent. How about liberating women in the US from extremist religion??? Seriously. Not asking for a friend, asking for me.

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

🏅On CBS evening news just now, they followed a family confused about the covid vax for their kids (one of whom is high risk). The reporter asked, "Where do you get your information about vaccines?" From the pediatrician, mom replied (modeling for viewers). So off they all went to the doctor. 🧵1/3

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

This is not just a difference of political opinion or healthy debate. It is a coordinated, well-funded campaign to delay action, erode trust and protect the profits of the fossil fuel industry, which profits most from the status quo. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
