i think people are missing the forest for the trees with this one. RFK Jr wants complete centralized knowledge of every American's health in order to exact control on what medications are allowed and in order to fabricate "evidence" for each and all of his nonsense theories.

NEW: The U.S. measles outbreak has reached 800 confirmed cases across 24 states, the CDC said Friday—88 more than last week. That’s nearly triple the 285 cases reported in all of 2024. In February, HHS Secretary RFK Jr.—a notorious anti-vaxxer—dismissed the outbreak as “not unusual.”

This line is catching on among the conservative influencers: unless SCOTUS backs down, Trump will be forced to suspend the constitution and declare the US a dictatorship, and it'll be all their fault.

NEW: The first excerpt from my book HUBRIS MAXIMUS details how Elon Musk raged over a Tesla death investigation in a 27-minute phone call, threatening to sue, eventually hanging up on the chairman of the NTSB. When the line went dead, investigators were stunned: "He hung up on us.” wapo.st/4jdONIx

Yes, Trump does have political instincts. And you can often tell when Trump senses a topic is a political loser because he claims to know very little about it and starts passing the buck.
