The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.
Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

Marty Makary’s tenure must be remembered as a turning point. The moment when science took a backseat to spin. Accountability is not optional. The public deserves leadership rooted in truth, not fear. The FDA’s credibility depends on it.

When a nation’s top health official promotes conspiracy theories, the consequences are not abstract. Misinformation kills. It erodes vaccination rates, weakens disease prevention, and fuels the same distrust that endangers public safety.

The FDA was once a symbol of rigor and reliability. Its mission is to ensure that every drug, vaccine, and food product meets standards grounded in fact. Under Makary, those standards bend toward politics, and public confidence bends with them.

Makary’s strategy is familiar. Cast doubt on consensus. Frame experts as elites. Then present himself as the truth-teller who can “fix” the system. It is a classic manipulation of public trust, weaponizing cynicism against science itself.
