I don’t expect the World Liberty Financial scandal, —which The New York Times exposed in a superb investigative piece Monday —to follow a recognizable trajectory. That’s because nothing since January has followed a recognizable trajectory. In the world I know, the Times story would initiate a […]

But multiple health agencies around the world — including the F.D.A. — have not found a conclusive link. Oh, stop already. Blatant lies, and a waste of taxpayer money doing bogus research to spread disinformation. What a despicable administration lying to Americans ALL THE TIME.

Corey Lewandowski is running DHS. ‘Lewandowski has long served as Noem’s gatekeeper, described to me by DHS staff as her “handler,” her “bulldog,” and the “shadow secretary.” They are also widely understood by those who work with them to be romantically attached.’ Archived story from New York […]

‘Lewandowski has been integral to Noem’s rise, her right hand as they run roughshod over the rule of law and, like so many in Trump’s Cabinet, position themselves for a post-Trump future. Lewandowski is not only surreptitiously co-leading DHS without congressional approval but has brought […]

Epstein was able to leave the jail every day and was chauffeured to the office he had at his not-for-profit, The Florida Science Foundation. He was even able to have girls flown in to 'service' him, as plainclothes sheriff's deputies stood guard outside.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

I had my first baby in 2013 and several Tylenol studies were already out. RFK Jr has been flogging this for a long time. This isn’t new science, it’s that he has a bigger mouthpiece as HHS secretary. Unless this is presented alongside studies on other factors -incl parental age- seems pretty bad.

If I understand the Homan thing correctly: - Last year, undercover FBI agents gave him a bribe, $50,000 in cash. - The plan was to wait and see whether he followed through with what he was bribed to do once he became part of the new Trump administration, which would strengthen the case. - But […]

Trade wars, rising costs, labor shortages and high interest rates caused by Republican policies is causing a ‘farmageddon,’ a tidal wave of financial and emotional strain threatening one of this country’s most vital industries. And they say time is running out for the Republicans to bail them out.

That said, the record is still open on both hearings. So @durbin.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov and others can submit a whole slew of QFRs about why Kash allowed Homan get away with bribery.

RFK Jr. is gutting the CDC, firing experts, stacking panels with anti-vax loyalists, and sowing chaos. Vaccine policy is now shaped by rookies spouting junk science, leaving children at risk while public health collapses under Trump’s watch.
