RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out.
But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

And now every poll they conduct in the future is tainted because how can they justify any level of data based objectivity when they cave from outside pressure. If you obey in advance you've chosen a side. Gallup is dead.

Wasting time investigating Bad Bunny when you should be investigating the pedophiles and child rapists in the Epstein Files. These are not serious people.
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.

While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...
Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.
Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t.
Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity.
