We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health By Former CDC Directors William Foege, William Roper, David Satcher Jeffrey Koplan Richard Besser, Tom Frieden, Anne Schuchat, Rochelle P. Walensky & Mandy K. Cohen www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
"Demetre Daskalakis was initially optimistic because Kennedy seemed to be going out of his way to say he wanted an open, collaborative relationship with CDC staff—and that he was genuinely interested in scientific inquiry." Remember those days?
Perspective: The DHHS Secretary's dismissal of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices members raises concerns about political influence on #vaccine policy. ja.ma/46e61S2
" Secretary Kennedy is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. Secretary Kennedy must resign."
My dad blew up like that when he was put on powerful corticosteroids.
We are in the constitutional upside down, where throwing a sandwich is a federal offense but storming Congress and beating law enforcement is patriotic.
This is absolutely the worst, most destructive administration in our history.
Not the point. Read what I wrote.
What exactly is your complaint about this bill? Congress still has to try to get shit done, and this seems to be a way to save the country some $$$
Can we just purge this entire administration?
UPDATE: Governor Cook has issued a statement. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
‼️ Gerrymandering, Martial Law, and the Road to a Third Term: Gerrymandering is not new. It’s as old as American politics itself. But in the hands of an authoritarian president who treats power as personal property, it becomes more than a cynical map-making trick. It becomes a weapon. ‼️ READ HERE ⬇️🚨
Domestic unrest that HE is provoking.
So far.
Leave her there to finish the job. At least she'll be doing less harm.
I wonder if the "Fox News" logo is actually on it.
Hey friends, here's my new piece for Home Of The Brave. Hope you'll have a look. open.substack.com/pub/ofthebra...

Trump defied a subpoena and conspired to hide the illegally retained classified documents and destroy evidence. Garland made the call to execute the warrant and a judge signed off after being presented with evidence of a crime, and evidence of a crime was found. That’s why Mar a Lago was searched.

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."
This is a list of things that have occurred in America in the last six months. When described plainly, it becomes clear that the US is an authoritarian country.
By his own logic, he has to change the name of every "memorial" bridge, overpass, park, etc, that's owned by the state.
The man who fired more than 500 rounds at the CDC appears to have tried to get onto the agency’s campus two days before the August 8 shooting, according to an agency email obtained by CNN.
The douche doesn't fall far from the bag. The scum doesn't fall far from the bucket.
CEO claims to be reopening 300 stores. (And probably reclosing 200 before a year is up)
There have been 500 reports of abuse inside Trump's immigrant internment camps since his inauguration. Among them? Neglect of children "as young as 2," suicides, head injuries, and sexual assaults. According to reports, medication and medical care are often withheld. www.wired.com/story/senate...
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
👍Executive Orders ARE NOT LAWS.
They're participating in the tyranny.
"The better way to understand Anchorage is not as the start of something new, but as the culmination of a longer process. As the U.S. dismantles its foreign-policy tools, as this administration fires the people who know how to use them, our ability to act with any agility will diminish"
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work. The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
Goddammit 😡
There's no evidence that Putin said that except for Trump's word, and he's a proven liar.
Is this supposed to make sense?
As a truck driver, I usually add, "...are you doing?"
Or at least a Zoom meeting with screenshots
That is the face of a chronic alcoholic
Sadly true.
HEY, 2nd Amendment enthusiasts! The tyrannical government you've been waiting to oppose IS HERE!

New: I spent the week looking into the cancelled mRNA contracts. Interviews with HHS officials and MAGA and MAHA influencers reveal an HHS agency plagued by dysfunction as Kennedy chips away at the nation’s public health. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...
I didn't read about it until Sunday
🖕
Paying attention? I have a job. How am I supposed to keep track of something that happened 5 hours ago?
Russia is not "taking" anything, and the Ukrainian people will not give up.
It's so cute that you think Putin would settle
There's nothing like a good old-fashioned knee-jerk reaction.🙄
Nope. The United States last conducted a draft for military service in 1973. The last draft call was on December 7, 1972, and the final person inducted was on June 30, 1973. The transition to an all-volunteer force was completed in 1973.
There is no draft.
They were actually assuming he wouldn't be a megalomaniac, both times!
This war must be brought to an end – and Russia must end it. Russia started it and is dragging it out, ignoring all deadlines, and that is the problem, not something else.
Holy hell, what did I miss?
Goddammit 😡
Seriously! I never thought billionaires could be so stupid.
Did Chamath post what he found, or just complain about it?
Second?

Steve Inskeep is the worst.
Is there a bigger asshole in this country than Trump?
There is no covid without testing There is no bad economy if we cook the books Electing Trump in a free and fair election is one of the greatest own goals in human history
Probably because men on the left are getting laid.
I'm actually an atheist, but I know that it's what Jesus allegedly taught and what I don't see many Christians practicing.
Why, that sounds like . . . Christianity!😲
I thought you fixed that.😕
Ok, so just fraud and abuse.

Has she ever met the current resident of the White House?
Where are all the 2nd Amendment "enthusiasts"?
Hey "DOGE"! Here's your waste, fraud, and abuse.
Why was the DEA there?
I'm guessing that he doesn't understand that not everyone is corrupt.🙄
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
Who could've predicted??
How young? Were any of them unlawful immigrants? I have questions.
Goddammit 😡
We are consistently optimistic
They're only targeting criminals? Glenn Valley Foods isn't sure it can keep operating after ICE raids now suffering a 70% drop in production and almost no employees left. Meat prices are up 7% this year and climbing. Making America Great Again. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/u...
And Trump ran on releasing the files. Biden could not release them because the investigation and trial of Maxwell was ongoing.
"stunning" is ambiguous. I would call them "flaccid air strikes."
Just had one. Thankfully, I am not scheduled for another for 10 years.
Exactly which 6 months is he talking about?
I don't even know what the hell is going on any more. This is just fucking insanity.
Trump is a moron

Watch the full interview for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbk...
A new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office finds that the final version of Trump's tax law will add $3.4 trillion to the U.S. national debt over the next decade and will "increase by 10 million the number of people without health insurance" by 2034.
And probably no background checks.
