"A week after he was sworn in as Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is already eyeing the removal of federal advisers on vaccine approvals and other crucial public health decisions."

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

Measles outbreak expands in West Texas around county with low vaccination rate. "MMR coverage is particularly low in Gaines County, where nearly 1 in 5 incoming kindergartners in the 2023-24 school year did not get the vaccine." www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h...

The Senate has confirmed Trump's HUD nominee Scott Turner, who has advocated for increasing the private equity industry's role in the housing market. These corporate landlords are one of the biggest reasons why you can't afford a home.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Republicans have introduced a bill to abolish OSHA. As a former labor secretary, I know firsthand how crucial this agency is to protecting workers from bosses who cut corners on safety to pad their own pockets. This is the party of corporate greed, not the party of workers.

NEW: An Arizona audit found data errors in the state's election system put over 218,000 voters' eligibility in jeopardy shortly before the 2024 elections. The issue, known to election officials since 2016, was only recently addressed.

NEW: A 25-year-old who's worked for Elon Musk companies now has direct control over a Treasury system disbursements from which amount to a fifth of the US economy. He does not, our sources say, have "read only" access, but high-level admin privileges on a mainframe housing all the code.

Trump almost flooded California because of a conspiracy theory about a fish from a Sean Hannity Fox News special from 2009.

@meredithshiner.com's assessment of the Democratic Party is sadly spot on (as is her suggested solution: Run against them!). The most direct way for us change the party is refuse to wait for our collectively turn to lead. newrepublic.com/article/1909...

New: Musk and his minions have illegally installed a commercial server to control federal HR databases that contain sensitive personal information, including SSNs, home addresses, and medical histories, according to an OPM staffer www.muskwatch.com/p/musk-assoc...

*to the tune of mambo no. 5*

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers

Obeying in advance is bottom behaviour, btw

This goes hard

Revelations about the role Robert F. Kennedy Jr. played in a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa keep getting worse.
