Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Trump is attacking unions, driving up costs, and dismantling workers’ rights. On Labor Day, we’re reminded that America deserves better. I’m proud to have helped author the PRO Act to expand workers’ rights & strengthen unions—and I’ll keep fighting to put workers first.
The pre-vaccine era was HELL for kids. We have already failed them on gun safety, we cannot fail them on the issue of vaccines. #VACCINES cause Adults!
Narcissists hire other narcissists. Toxic.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
This is how Big tech operates.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

Except this is Donald Trump’s Olympics and he would be broadcasting on American mainstream TV - republican controlled airwaves.

He just wants to make sure to get another commentator gig at the LA Olympics (if it happens).
It’s good that the courts are making clear that Trump’s destructive tariffs are illegal. These tariffs are crushing small businesses and costing regular people thousands of dollars for no good reason. Democrats will keep pushing to end these tariffs & restore economic sanity.
Can anyone explain why they would want to prevent people from getting through the emergency gates?
Excellent reporting here.
Fuck DOGE.
“The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, which has conducted dozens of trials since it was established in 1999…has 6 active trials; 5 are related to treatment. These are early phase trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of novel therapies for pediatric brain cancers”
Deeply saddened that the ENTIRE TEAM at NCI PDQ Cancer Information has been eliminated. Our evidence-based summaries were updated throughout the year with the latest research and supported informed decision making between clinicians & patients with cancer across the US. 🇺🇸
Lets send Geraldo to open the vault and see if he is still inside.
Florida project is spectacular
Stellar
With Jim O'Neill appointed as Interim CDC director, we're seeing a pattern First, RFK fires eminent scientists Then he appoints loyalists without credentials He then takes the advice of loyalists Finally he says, "you see, I have restored trust in science." RFK did the same thing with ACIP
Denial is a powerful defense mechanism.
"The President, on his own, can't tax the American people. That's what King George III tried to do – we had a revolution about that." Neal Katyal
In any other timeline, a dog-eating, bear-dumping, whale-chainsawing, sexual-assaulting, brain-wormed moron like RFK Jr, a man with no medical degree who swears he can diagnose kids just by looking at them...would exist only as an Onion headline.
From the article It’s not innovative at all,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan. “It’s actually ancient, sort of, by vaccine standards.” Also less effective.
The NIH says it's focused on whole-virus vaccines. What are they? www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... via @nbcnews.com
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
All right, scientists. This is Stephen Miller saying that RFK Jr is vulnerable. The co-president doesn’t need to say things like this unless he feels like our hits have scored. Now is the time to turn up the pressure! Get RFK Jr OUT.🧪
There are still bullet holes all over the CDC, and RFK Jr. is demonizing credible scientists who have no history of dishonest behavior for refusing his illegal or unethical demands. He is demonizing them, again. The harm he is doing is beyond any U.S. adversary's wildest dreams. This is madness.
Removal of Kennedy
Avian influenza being a virus that's killed between 50-99% of people who've caught it in outbreaks in other countries, mind you.

Jaws got a standing ovation when I saw it for the first time in 1975! Nothing since - except a few people at an Inconvenient Truth but that probably doesn’t count…
Donald Trump and House Republicans are stealing OUR tax dollars from OUR communities and depriving local governments of critical funding to make themselves and their billionaire friends richer. It’s really that simple.
Chronic diseases will decline because people will die of acute diseases first.
Good.
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
Utter bs
This cannot stand. The animals are outside the cage.
It also facilitates mass unemployment.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will restrict or eliminate as many vaccines as Congress allows him to. There is a reason that not a single Democrat voted to confirm him.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday. The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.
The survey takes about 2 minutes. Note that there are some leading questions, designed to discourage you from selecting the IRS option, e.g. if you say you want to select an IRS product, you get a pop-up explaining the costs to the IRS. But this would be far less than paying a private vendor!
RFK Jr is falsely claiming the CDC considers abortion one of the great modern medical advances. It doesn’t say that anywhere. In fact, the CDC lists reducing the number of abortions as a success. He’s lying. Ask yourself why.
📣 I've also created a SECOND VA fundraising page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state. Most of these Dems won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force VA Republicans to defend "safe" turf. Donate today! secure.actblue.com/donate/vaval...
Trump is attempting more ILLEGAL cuts to government investments, trying to push Congress to the side entirely. This is a brazen attempt to steal Congress's power to be YOUR voice on taxpayer spending. Trump does NOT have a line-item veto, much less a retroactive one.
Every Judge can tell him no, every person can sue him, every state can offer their stances, but the only people who could hold him accountable he controls. He isn't going anywhere without force. Ever since he released the 6thers, I knew he chose violence to stay in power. He chose it last time too
The UK postal service isn't just suspending parcel mail to the United States, they've suspended all mail to the United States, so no one in the UK can send so much as a postcard to the US right now.
A higher resolution pic than my screenshot that captured the salute, from Alyssa Pointer (Reuters) – press weren’t allowed past the front gate for security reasons.

🚨It's almost 2am eastern, but the CDC debacle is still unfolding. Very important message from the American Public Health Association: "We urge people across the nation to contact their representative and call for change to protect our health." "RFK Jr. must be... 1/3 www.apha.org/news-and-med...
RFK jr, a man with a laundry list of behavioral problems is running the HHS (including the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS). If he wants to personally have cult-beliefs, that's on him – but we must not allow him to project his own pathological beliefs onto 345 million people of this country. This is not science.
Yep
What a mess. I feel for the retail store pharmacists.
Yep. State legislators may be helpful as well to bypass regulations that require cdc approval for pharmacy distribution — as apparently that is a state to state decision(?!?!?!)
Maybe get state medical societies to put pressure on state legislatures to change the “must be approved by cdc” regulation. I can imagine Massachusetts for instance might act fast.
From the article: Those states are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, along with the District of Columbia.
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.
As expected. Noted antivaxxer Geier, who has had many retractions in the lit and was fined for practicing medicine without a license, is who Kennedy hired to "find the cause of autism."
New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."
These numbers do not provide much support for the president’s call to lower interest rates - so just a big inconsistent propaganda mess?
Seattle will not go well
Prior authorization hits Medicare. "People enrolled in traditional Medicare who live in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington State will be included in the experiment, expected to start in January and last for six years." #discover #Medsky www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...
Apparently - especially if he gets to be that person soon
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
“Erosion of the family”, etc.
Watch them blame it on mothers going back to work….

Join some Nobel Laureates and sign this petition to remove RFK Jr. from office. He is a danger to the people of the United States and a national security threat. www.change.org/p/demand-rfk...
SCOOP I spoke to the leader of the 764-linked swatting group that is behind the recent spare of hoax active shooter calls at university campuses across the US. He claims to have earned $100,000 in the space of just six days www.wired.com/story/purgat...
In July 2025, wholesale prices for domestic fresh and dry vegetables skyrocketed 38.9% compared to a year ago. We haven’t seen a summer swing this big in almost a CENTURY. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling the squeeze at the grocery store.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
It was absurd that so many established medical organizations did NOT oppose his nomination. It was largely individual health care providers without lobbyists signing petitions and writing letters to our Senators. Which were ignored.

Can’t be real…
In a word, revenge: ➡️The Transportation Department said it is cancelling $175 million for four projects that are part of California's #high-speed #rail project, following cancellation of $4 billion in #federal grants for the state's ambitious high-speed rail project in July.
Regardless of what RFK, Jr. thinks, if you're an adult w/ heart disease, the American College of Cardiology wants you to get vaccinated against RSV, covid, pneumococcal infection (pneumonia), shingles, & influenza (flu). The experts are chiming in, folks; let's listen. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
How about we keep all the workers but replace the executives with AI? Is there anything your average tech CEO does that AI couldn't do?
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
I have never been asked for a prescription to get a vaccine. How would that even work?
But when you use words like mitochondrial and inflammation- it sounds science-y and smart. Pseudoscience cherrypicks research data from yeast, mice, or a small sample of people - and uses that “proof” to make clinical recommendations for everyone. Often for profit, while demonizing naysayers.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
