In any other time in American history, 1/10th of this scandal would be the end of a presidency. But this is just like a day that ends in Y. This is our life now.

I have an additional two sources who have shared the same.

“Mr. Kennedy reassigned high-ranking health officials - [incl. Tony Fauci’s wife] - to Indian Health Service locations in the American West, when what the chronically understaffed service really needs are doctors and nurses who are familiar with the unique needs of Native people.”

We need ideas like this. We've got to put all constructive thoughts out there, long odds or not. If we don't, we guarantee they won't materialize. So thanks @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Maybe this'll get a few Republicans thinking harder about history than their next election.

Mark Burns, a prominent evangelical pastor and spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, labeled Russia “pure evil” and called for increased military aid to Ukraine’s Armed Forces after visiting war-torn areas like Bucha, admitting fake media had “brainwashed” him. english.nv.ua/nation/pasto...

And of course, all this defunding of health for mothers is happening under the self-described "fertilization President."

A very, very good question.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services is a menace to public health every day he's in office. Donald Trump and the Senate GOP put him there.

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Congratulations to Fix-o-dent, Polident, and denture makers on the news. What a lovely bonanza.

He obviously never should have been confirmed in the first place but for the Health secretary to promote treating measles with steroids and antibiotics should clearly be grounds for his impeachment and removal.

New: HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. said he wouldn’t take away childhood vaccines. Then he cut $2 billion from state health programs that helps get them to kids. Clinics canceled. Nurses fired. Immunizations stalled—all amid a measles outbreak. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

We have vast collections of fascinating pamphlets on London history & society. ‘News from Bartholomew Fair, or The World’s Mad’ (166-) (PAM 4834)- a satirical work about the ‘vanities and fooleries’. Lasting a fortnight in Smithfield in late summer. Est. 1133 & suppressed in 1855 as a nuisance. 🎪

The quid pro quo(s) that Mueller—probably foolishly—thought Congress would continue to investigate.

NEW: The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines. By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

Peter Marks is incredibly well-respected across the board and his resignation is significant. "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies." www.wsj.com/politics/top...

NEW: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is pushing back on Trump's attacks on judges and suggestions from lawyer-allies that he should perhaps defy the courts, all without naming him www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

"Angry, disappointed, frustrated"--Scientists were making progress on vaccines and antivirals for the next pandemic--until this week, when the Trump administration abruptly told them to stop. Here's my story with @apoorvanyt.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/43Xz77q

When you are aligned with those foreign powers that is by design. It is sabotage of our country.

Fabulous! 🌸🌱☀️

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee: "Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

It’s never been easier to steal secrets from the United States government. Can you even call it stealing when it’s this simple? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/o...

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

(ProPublica) - Elon Musk’s aerospace giant SpaceX allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records. @jeisinger.bsky.social
