I’m a Portland medical malpractice lawyer advocating for patients and their families. I’ve been a political junkie since the early 1970s when I had my first paper route and started reading about the Vietnam war everyday.
This new recommendation is, by design, going to increase the number of hepatitis B infections among children of a certain demographic. The poorest children.
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

“Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”

After what RFK Jr did yesterday, it’s pretty clear that the main goal of the “Christian pro-life party“ is to kill as many people of a certain demographic as possible.

The change in policy means the government will no longer pay for 50% of the babies who get the vaccine. The poorest 50%.
Like the NSDAP Volkskirche, the whole idea of Trumpist "Christian Nationalism" is to leave actual Christianity toothless and incapable of challenging a stream of morally depraved policies. Hard to believe that Ross Douthat is as stupid as he comes across in this piece.

It’s not only “purposely misleading” it’s purposely intended to cause more hepatitis B infections in infants and children in a specific demographic.

Its purpose is ethnic cleansing.
“This irresponsible and purposely misleading guidance will lead to more hepatitis B infections in infants and children.” Read our full statement by AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly:

Remember when the NFL snubbed Trump and he had to buy a USFL team?

That’s what this is about.

I’m sure Mike Johnson sincerely believes this.

The problem is by “productive“ he actually means “destructive.“

Of course they did.

Josh Marshall joshtpm.blsky.social is correct that no progress out of this corrupt stranglehold by Republicans can be accomplished without Supreme Court reform.
LAW DORK: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Republican appointees on Thursday issued an order allowing Texas to use its new congressional map in the 2026 midterm elections blocking a lower court order finding the map was likely an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
Supreme Court allows new Texas congressional map to be used in 2026
The Dem appointees dissent in the racial gerrymandering case. Also: A D.C. Circuit "administrative stay" means National Guard can remain deployed in D.C. for now.

Perfect encapsulation. And clearly foreseeable from the moment Paul Manafort offered his services for free.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.

But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.

ICE must go. End of discussion.

Anyone know how Bryant and Dakorian Moore are doing? Chance to get back out there in two weeks?

Sure glad Malik is healthy and that catch (it was a catch) by McClellan was the bomb!!

Actually I remember it very differently: American Rescue Plan, the American Rescue Plan for COVID-19 relief, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to invest in roads, bridges, and clean energy, the CHIPS and Science Act to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing
remember when democrats last took control of congress and did nothing

I got pertussis earlier this year. I was vaccinated in 2023 with a DTaP booster, but still got infected. I had symptoms for months, with some of the worst coughing spells I've ever had. It was horrible. It makes me sad to think a small baby had to go through that and didn't survive. Awful.
Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines.

Since saving lives is their thing.

Indeed.

It’s time—actually way past time—for true American patriots to pick a side.

On this one, you’re either on the side of the rule of law or you’re not. It’s that simple.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Wow. A land reduced to rubble, its people killed maimed and starved, to make way for a Trump branded resort, is perfection in the mind of Donald J Trump.

To think, that mind has control over our nuclear arsenal.

Shudder…….

"Ron DeSantis is a moron."

Not breaking news!
It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron.
