We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

Admirable statement—a nonpartisan commitment to Americans’ health is why we now live so much longer and healthier than when these people began their decades running the CDC. Now, for some reason, RFK Jr is trying to use the CDC to kill us.

If someone ever tried to perpetuate this level of BS on me, I would hope someone would be trying to bring the rule of law to bear on the situation and that person would have a name like Judge Sparkle Sooknanan
Amanda Katz (@katzish.bsky.social)
I really appreciate the combination of these extremely pained, serious comments about the government trying to deport unaccompanied children in the wee hours of a holiday weekend…and the name Judge Sparkle Sooknanan
Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Judge Sooknanan: I am trying to do the best I can to fulfill my obligation as an Article III judge. I appreciate you all showing up today, and I particularly appreciate the government's representation. But I'm going to put it on the record again, just so there's absolutely no ambiguity...
Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Judge Sooknanan continues her monologue: And so, absent action and intervention by the court, all of those children would have been returned to Guatemala, potentially to extremely dangerous situations.
Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
Anna Bower (@annabower.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.

VA is a disaster right now. I generally don't trust the private sector with my healthcare, yet had wrist surgery three weeks ago at Baylor Scott & White in Dallas because VA couldn't handle it. First time I've had a major procedure or serious condition treated outside the military or VA since 1996.

With Trump's capture of the right and attempt to dismantle federal function (aside from police state and enriching the ultra wealthy) as fast as possible, it's going to take efforts of many kinds and directions to put back some speed bumps. Say what you will about Newsom, but he is not complacent
Amanda Katz (@katzish.bsky.social)
This interview is worth a listen, even if you are a Newsom hater and would never support him in a primary. He has a striking sense of pragmatic urgency around interrupting Trump's 2026 gerrymandering grab--that this is really a last-ditch place to stop him and other states need to get serious fast.
