CDC has changed its website to reflect RFK Jr's belief of a link between vaccines and autism. Previously the site said no link. How about the statement--"studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities" CDC has ceded its credibility

Almost a 12 pt drop from his % of voters in the election. And the 60% disapproval..

This post. Who can argue

I remember when DOJ was a very different government entity. But now...even the basics don't get done Their case against Comey is increasingly shaky

This ICE agent used a chemical agent against a person who, it appears, merely pointed at him. That potentially is assault. Their conduct carries some immunity from prosecution. But at some point, local authorities need to test that protection as they see what ICE is doing in their communities

"Under orders" not to disclose that veteran prosecutors thought Comey shouldn't be indicted. This is now internal cover-ups work as the country has seen before

Easiest thing to do--extend the ACA subsidies so premiums don't soar Instead, GOP looking to have people shop for their health care with HSA accounts As noted, the US healthcare system is complex and not built for shopping for services Last thing we need--people w/o effective, affordable coverage

Haven't seen Tom Homan in a while..and Adams will not be the mayor in the 'near future' So he will have to deal with Mamdani

Thread: About exceptions to the release of the Epstein Files that may dilute transparency. Know what that means....

Look at the turnout in Charlotte of people being trained to protect their neighbors and push back on Trump's aggressive anti immigration campaign

The reporter has a name. And it's not an offensive insult. From a president.

Looks like they are using an assault rifle to threaten the driver and bust the window. For honking a horn? What crime is that?

New cost estimates for the Key Bridge rebuild are significantly higher than first thought. Gov Wes Moore: "Trade policies have raised prices on everything."

What a great breakthrough for women's health!

People shouldn't have to live this way. Business is down since ICE arrived. One business owner: "People are nervous just because of the tactics. Even me. I’m brown-skinned and I’m an American citizen and I’m a [military] vet. But here I’m thinking: should I be carrying my passport?"

So the US went from following a system of due process to intercept drug traffickers to just blowing up boats. And probably aren't effective. Fmr DOJ official: ".. things that sound macho but get you nowhere"

Missteps include: “fundamental misstatements of the law” by prosecutor Lindsey Halligan to the grand jury that indicted Comey, the use of potentially privileged communications during the investigation, and unexplained irregularities in the transcript of the grand jury proceedings

It takes a lot of courage for women who've been abused and assaulted to step forward Maybe there needs to be a new, more complete investigation that is free of Trump's influence Epstein died before the case against him went to trial, a process that typically reveals details that otherwise go untold

A special prosecutor may be the only way to bring credibility to the release of the files. Bondi has shown herself to be a Trump loyalist of the highest order

Even a few GOP senators are pushing back on Trump's targeting of blue states

As DHS becomes the Dept of Deportation.. 33% less time spent on child exploitation. Focus diverted from its core mission in order to arrest undocumented people on parking lots. Fmr DHS official: "These distractions could have deadly consequences.” (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/u...

And on it goes.. Trump's for-profit presidency

It's become quite obvious that the main reason Trump does things like this is because it was a Biden initiative. Never mind it makes things hard for consumers.

It looks like Trump's ballroom is going to dominate the White House grounds. Ever think 1600 Pennsylvania would become a catering hall

Tearing down the East Wing for his ballroom..Turning the Oval Office study into a Trump merchandise shop. Further evidence of his main goal as president www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

How long will that take? Weeks, months? Their disparagement of people in need of food assistance is --- how many times does this word get used with them--cruel

Maybe he shouldn't have imposed the tariffs in the first place...negotiate fair trade instead

Retribution. Trump is trying everything to distract from his presence in the Epstein files

Trump did his best to try to keep Zohran Mamdani--who ran on an affordability platform--from winning. And failed. Now, Trump's decided affordability should be his message too. Except--his policies are a major reason for unaffordability!

$2 billion to fulfill Trump's changing the name of the Department of Defense. While he disparages people who need food support and and health care coverage

Correct!

Dog went with me to the ACE today. While the paint was being mixed we wandered the store a bit and... She discovered the rawhide treats at her level--about 30 inches. Dogs are slick. And never forget!

Trump was president in 2017. Spending Thanksgiving with Epstein. Long after Trump claims he distanced himself

Progressive candidate Katie Wilson wins the Seattle mayor's race. Her statement: "..we need to expand the table to include everyone in the decisions that impact their lives..That is what we will be working to do every day as we set up this new administration."

This is an important reminder. And, as important, what level of redaction will Bondi's DOJ apply if files are released

This will be an interesting vote in the House.

NYC council passes rezoning that could turn 54 blocks of mostly warehouses and parking lots into housing. About 30 percent of the housing must be affordable to people of lower and moderate incomes www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/n...

Finally!

There are other jobs reports.. Goldman: October jobs losses the worst since 2020. Can't hide it.

Leavitt must know what's in the files to default to the 'it's a hoax by the Dems' Want to be transparent? Release the files.

It is way past time to release the Epstein files. The more details that come out the more questions raised. Latest: Trump spent hours with one of the victims

I feel like we are not at all prepared for the potential very large impact of AI on human jobs (which is already happening) Interesting piece. How do we keep people employed when they have to compete with AI agents

It's really disheartening how this administration has been so divisive. How do we recover and get back on track to an inclusive and respectful government?

Nearly 10 years out of office, look at the respect he gets. Speaks volumes.

Wow. Look at the resources consumed by data centers and the CO2 emissions. Plus, the demand they put on the supply of electricity

This is a good point and has been true for some time. Blatant double standard in coverage of 2 presidents. Is it because Biden didn't threaten, sue, bully, shame them?

And add to it...don't disrespect them as this administration is doing with Black and female veterans and commanders

It's quite troubling how Trump has caused long time allies to step back like this. Can't blame them at all..

Trump should take note. China relying on clean energy investments to reduce its CO2 emissions. Trump, meantime, has aggressively blocked clean energy projects in favor of more oil and gas drilling
