Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
RFK Jr. has desecrated federal vaccine policy, putting Americans' public health at severe risk. He has upended CDC vaccine guidance and given authority to unqualified, anti-science quacks. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
This is what the University of Chicago correctly saw coming down the pike. They had built a world-leading cluster of language and area studies work on funding that is just going to... stop.
NOW: Big protest going on outside the White House. Protestors are demanding release of Epstein files and the end of the National Guard deployment in D.C. This is some visual. (📸 Status Coup News)
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
"Why Aren't Democrats Capitalizing on the Scandal of the Summer?" Trump, Israel, pedophilia, corruption. If you were to lab-engineer a scandal to hurt the president and the GOP, this is exactly what you would concoct.
I wonder how Toledo looks- JD- any thoughts?
RFK Jr. has completely destabilized our public health institutions. The leader of HHS is politicizing medicine, spewing vaccine conspiracies, rejecting science, and leading us straight toward a preventable public health emergency. He's taking us back to the 1800s.
"Work from home is bad for everyone Only a few people retain productivity Intangible office connections are gone Young people r further isolated and lonely City centers decay" -Vinay Prasad, the FDA Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, who barely comes into the office.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
I can see why JD has a nasty look on his face- his big Daddy is making absolutely no sense.
Thank you, @dereklowe.bsky.social for your scathing post on RFK Jr. www.science.org/content/blog... 🥰
Cleveland is not the only Ohio city that had a higher crime rate in 2024 than Washington D.C. Toledo and Dayton also share that designation, according to FBI data. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/08...
A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).
#RFKJr wants to take away #COVID #vaccines (and then move on to #childhood #preventable #diseases). You can see it in the works now. Write to your member of #Congress now. This makes it easy to do so. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/writ...
Good news. The House of Representatives stands behind the NIH budget with no cuts.
He’s been an outstanding Representative. Now, he’s doing the right thing. @nadler.house.gov says watching “the Biden thing” convinced him of “the need for generational change.” Thank you, Congressman. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Musk flops on infrastructure projects like this. He will take your government contract and abandon the project. He is a con man that only a fool would fall for now.
The results were so secret that they were published for the entire world to see, even RFK Jr. But, as @jimalwine.bsky.social and I wrote back in February, “Kennedy, a science denialist, will never accept the real scientific evidence that vaccines are safe”.
It’s like “The Residence”!
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
During this summer’s deadly Texas floods, Kerr County officials failed to use a federal emergency alert system to get people out of harm’s way. A similar story has played out over and over in other parts of the country over the past decade. By @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social
I believe that 99% of what RFK Jr. does is motivated by: 1. Protecting his ego and vanity. He must convince people vaccines are bad b/c he can’t be wrong. Endless photos of himself exercising b/c vanity. 2. Creating conditions for his law firm to increase profits from suing various companies.
Resistance is NOT futile.
9 former CDC sounding the alarm “What [RFK jr] has done to the CDC and to our nation’s public health system over the past several months… is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced” 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Not that Gavin Newsom needs my trolling advice, but this is a perfect time for Lee Atwater-style digs about the rumor mill. When reporters ask about Trump, saying stuff like, "Well, I don't want to speak ill of an invalid." Or "Gosh, I don't want to be quoted in his obit." No one deserves it more!
#CDC directors going back to 1977 tell the truth about #RFKJr: he is endangering the health of every American. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
A slice of D.C., down by Audi Field for the Washington Spirit game: lots of National Guard with long guns, plenty of @freedcproject.bsky.social volunteers handing out info on D.C. autonomy.
Many states don’t let you get a COVID vaccine without a prescription as they had existing laws that tied access to official CDC approval. This made sense as a safety measure, but now the CDC has been taken over by antivaxxers, several states are rightfully modifying these laws to reinstate access.
Terrific and terrifying piece by William J. Broad for the @nytimes.com: “'Trump once said he wanted the generals that Hitler had,' Dr. Josephson wrote. 'He’s certainly working on getting the science that Hitler and Stalin had.'” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Yes !!
Bernie Sanders: “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.”
This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME🤷♀️
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
What if blue states hired the former vaccine approvers that have quit the CDC and form a new board for blue states to follow their advice. And what if blue states made a law that said insurance companies in their states had to cover the vaccines they approve. This is how you shadow government.
Oh, science.
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. “There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Very nice profile of one of my new heroes, @drdemetre.bsky.social: www.advocate.com/politics/dem... Has important details about changes at CDC I hadn't recognized, too.
I hope we'll see such orders signed by every official with the power to sign them. This isn't radical or even liberal; it's 101, it's like saying the king can't house his soldiers in people's homes.
It’s wild that people who voted for this man are capable of tying their shoes, much like holding down jobs and paying taxes. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/u...
Wonderful interview w @drdemetre.bsky.social on MSNBC. Refreshing to hear him call Kennedy's plans #eugenics and the language echoing #fascism. Brave man! Much respect to him and the other CDC docs who quit. www.msnbc.com/the-weekend/...
New in PN: Making Slavery Great Again "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

*Ahem*
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
The new CDC director is trying to kill you. Not just “the most vulnerable”; you, me, everyone. This is a comic book-level evil scenario.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Sending you much comfort at this time.😔
Wow
I ♥️ public health scientists!!
Massive walkout at #CDC. Tick tock. Tick tock. RFK Jr. you're time is up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...
That is scary!!
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
Hey hey ho ho RFK Jr. Has got to go!!! Please!🙏
Massive walkout at #CDC. Tick tock. Tick tock. RFK Jr. your time is up. (typo fixed). Spread the word. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...

Resignations can make a difference! In 2005, Dr. Susan Wood resigned from the FDA to protest political delays in approving Plan B, saying she could no longer serve when scientific evidence has been overruled. In 2006, Plan B was approved for OTC use for ages 18+, and in 2013 with no restrictions.
rfk jr. had armed security march these public health heroes out of the agency *that they helped build* just to prevent CDC workers from saying goodbye and clapping/saluting them out in the afternoon, like they did for anne schuchat.

You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
