Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.

He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

They’re actually redacting Trump’s name AFTER the release.
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

Double ACA premiums. Kick 15 million off health care. Undermine lifesaving vaccines and spark disease outbreaks.

One more post re: Vaccines and Autism-gate.

CDC's webpages are a mixed bag. Some are maintained by programs -- people who follow science and evidence are updating.

But political cronies seem able to alter them without approvals.

So: check them against other reputable sources.

The Speaker of the House shut the chamber down for two months to block the release of the Epstein Files and the president is huddled in the Situation Room of the White House to formulate a plan to keep them from being released, and I don't know why you crazy libs think there's some kind of cover up.
