Trump is giving a big gift to Big Oil opening 1.56million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. For Big Mining, he approved a 211mile industrial corridor mining for copper, cobalt and other metals. Plus he greenlit a road through Alaska’s Izembek Wildlife Refuge.

Martin Kulldorff, the head of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Policy, claims he wants to restore trust in vaccines.

From what I’ve seen, he apparently wants to do this is by inviting unqualified charlatans to serve on ACIP and allowing dangerous, misleading data to be presented.
RFK Jr.’s top vaccine adviser says he answers to no one
In an interview with POLITICO, Martin Kulldorff said the health secretary has asked him to impartially follow the science.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down.
This is a #RepublicanCOUP.

Another step in the de-professionalization and politicization of DOD.

"The head of an office that helps organize technical research and disburse billions of dollars for the Navy is being replaced by a 33-year-old former DOGEr with no apparent naval experience."
