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.
The congressional Republicans are enabling all of the cruelty, graft, destruction of vital institutions and our strength on the world stage

I predict we will see copious amounts of bronzer to help him appear less sickly
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”
Geongbokgung Palace
That he is re-appointing RFK Jr. to a new position: Secretary of Roadkill
Yes. Because he’s looking very old, tired and sickly. We need Jake Tapper’s expertise on the health of presidents. It would be good if that would happen.

It will like be Trump’s mini-me, Stephen Miller.
Yes. He looks very old, tired and sickly. Where is Jake Tapper and his expertise on the health of presidents?
It’s time to have a serious conversation about Trump’s health www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
He’s looking very old, sickly, weak and tired.
Is it a new 25-26 updated version?
A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the EU's executive arm, suffered from jamming of GPS navigation while flying over Bulgaria. The authorities believe that Russia was behind the operation, European officials said on Monday.
I’m sorry, WHAT?
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "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...
Now he will begin to extort the vaccine industry
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA

Exactly. Keep the pressure on. Trump will not stick with anyone he thinks may be dragging him further down. That was the beginning of his distancing from Elon. Keep the pressure on. RFK must go.
With that, I'm signing off for a bit to try and enjoy what's left of Labor Day. If you're just catching up, here's my live coverage of yesterday's hearing: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/emer...
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Anna, thank you for your incredible job of keeping us up to the moment on all this news today. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
This judge deserves a medal! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Nobel for judge Sooknanan!
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
Who wants to bet that Sooknanan orders Ensign to file two separate status reports the minute each of the last two kids is back in ORR custody
Bless Judge Sooknanan
MORE: Judge Sooknanan order DOJ to file yet another status report. She sets 10:45 pm deadline for Ensign to address whether all of the children have been returned to ORR custody.
By the time DOJ files this status report, Judge Sooknanan will have been awake for nearly 20 hours.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
The government has argued that the children are simply being reunited with their parents. But Sooknanan reads from a series of declarations that seem inconsistent with that claim.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Between the brain worms and all the drugs in his youth has really fried this dudes brain. And he’s going to harm a lot of people if the congressional Republicans don’t intervene.
RFK’s purge strips the CDC of expertise. Daskalakis resigns after being cut out; Trump fires director Monarez. Kennedy installs vaccine skeptics, pushes a thimerosal ban, and halts shots for pregnant women and most kids. CDC capacity withers.
So Stephen miller has started trafficking children. Fucking evil
The Iran-backed Houthis on Sunday raided offices of the United Nations' food and children's agencies in Yemen's capital, detaining at least one U.N. employee, officials said.

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
Did he issue this? Because he’s been AWOL
💯 spot on They just don’t have what it takes
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
These are my patients. Kids dying of brain cancer. Kids and families desperate for treatment and hoping to find a cure through experimental therapies. Trump is dismantling science and children with brain tumor are the victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
💯 And if people like —or don’t mind high electric bills, then keep voting for the congressional Republicans. They’re enabling this regime and ALL of its policies.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
💯 And if people like it, keep voting for the congressional Republicans. Because they’re enabling this regime and providing ZERO oversight.
The U.S. is one of the world's biggest human rights violators under Trump. Well done, maga.
I also speaks volumes to Trump’s very obvious health issues

Tomorrow: Hear from the front lines. Join Free DC and Chicago organizers and learn how to be part of the nationwide movement against the billionaire agenda and demand a country that puts workers first.
Seeing Fleetwood Mac — but then going BACKSTAGE and meeting Lindsey Buckingham! I had a client who was married to his brother. She got myself, my husband and my close friend into the room where the family was.
And many will suffer because of him.
I remember when Trump said he was going to add RFK Jr. to his cabinet and “let him go crazy” And he is. He’s a weird, incoherent crank.
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group”
A report from the World Health Organization says 1 in 4 people lack access to safe water to drink. Even more don't have water for sanitation. We asked someone who grew up that way to share childhood memories.
AP live feed of the CDC walkout in Atlanta. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...
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.
The AP is livestreaming as the CDC leaders who resigned in protest are cheered on by CDC Staff who have walked out.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...
Lawyers call out organization over “weaponizing public health for political gain.”
The Republican Party is filled to the brim with deviant, malformed sex pests & predators. People really ought to talk about it more.

In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
President Trump’s attempt to push out a sitting Federal Reserve governor underscores how far a president can go in jeopardizing the Fed’s independence. Experts say the move holds potentially dangerous long-term consequences for the fragile U.S. economy.
These guys should be home with their families.

President Trump announced that he was removing Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud, though this has yet to be proven in the judicial system. The allegation is in some ways an echo of what Trump was found liable for in a New York civil case in 2024.
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
🙄
Everything he is doing (non intentionally) is setting up things for Vance. Trump knows his health isn’t good. To me, Vance and his friends, Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin are scarier. They are smarter and it will be more extreme. And people have no idea.
A wave of authoritarianism is reshaping the world. Donald Trump isn’t leading it—he’s learning from it. See how he’s borrowing from his peers, such as Orban, Putin, Netanyahu, and Modi, in Zeteo’s new breakdown of the Global Authoritarian Playbook. Watch the full video: zeteo.com/p/the-global...
