MORE GRIFT. The Warner Bros. merger was already suspect, but now Trump's family is getting in on the act. Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is now part of Paramount's bid for Warner Bros. Discovery & they cite HIM as the reason why their bid is more likely to get approved. This cannot stand.

FFS. Everything is a bioweapon to these antivax nutjobs.

The incredible @drjudystone.bsky.social has a new piece out on what parents should make of Temu ACIP’s new HepB vaccine recommendations.

open.substack.com/pub/keithbum... Excellent piece. Definitely recommend!

"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.

Not okay.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children. Click here to read AAP's full statement: bit.ly/3Y9ZQJT

This regressive move will literally kill people. It's making kids' liver cancer great again. And it's a sign of more harm to come. CDC panel recommends delaying birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c... via @statnews.com

Democracy dies on the Supreme Court’s shadow docket. From Kagan’s dissent:

I can't stress this enough. This is what happens when an addy junkie appoints a gd alcoholic to a position of power that they should've never had. They literally wreck the hell out of everything, and then leave it to everyone else to fix. #SheShed apnews.com/article/navy...

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

Reports that the EDVA grand jury has declined, at least for today, to reindict NY AG Tish James.

The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike. apnews.com/article/trum...

It doesn't matter whether Hegseth saw the survivors. The allegation is that he told Bradley to kill everyone before first missile launched.

GEORGE WILL: “.. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.” @postopinions.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Is it bad for a country when news organizations are doing video analyses of how many times the country’s elderly racist leader falls asleep in the middle of a meeting?

"Congress has ample powers to scrutinize, expose and end government abuse — if its members use them." @mawaldman.bsky.social calls in the @nytimes.com for a select committee to investigate Trump's lethal boat strikes.

IN ADDITION, Hegseth failed to learn or adopt the number one precept of Army leadership, specifically aimed at officers: "I am responsible for everything my unit does or fails to do."

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

More pages straight from the authoritarian playbook

New, from me: Trump’s justification for invading American cities and other countries is to reduce the crime he is actively encouraging through his pardons. It’s emblematic of how corrupt the pardon process has become under Trump. Deep dive 🧵 to follow. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...
