It IS terrifying. So what? There were plenty of the A student types who helped beat Hitler. The founders of the country were a real bunch of eggheads. I have no patience with this. It's about survival and if their excellent brains can't deal with that then they're not as smart as they think they are

“If you don’t give us what we want then we will burn it all down” is not a rational political strategy, it’s a temper tantrum. Which is not to say that there shouldn’t be intense anger! Just don’t let it make you act foolishly and self-destructively.

The sole mention of RFK Jr's opposition to vaccines is a throwaway aside in the 12th graf of the story, amidst some credulous useful idiocy from Zeke Emanuel. Nothing about his destruction of medical research in America. It treats him like he and Obama are pursuing the same goal slightly differently

What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/

This is appalling, criminal, and the GOP plan for everywhere: block cheap renewables in favor of expensive gas turbines. It won't even provide enough power, there's a 3-5 year backlog for turbines. We'll all pay far higher electricity bills to be sicker and to do more environmental damage.

This won't end all tariffs. This ruling applies to tariffs applied to entire countries (which is most of the tariff agenda). The industry-specific tariffs use a different legal authority, and will remain. The White House has other (more limited) tariff powers it'll dust off.
