NBC’s “National Law Enforcement Correspondent” reported not just the name of the uncharged “person of interest” in the Brown University murders, but also his DOB, and some allusions about his mental health.

The cops released this guy the same day they took him in.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary built his platform not on science but on spectacle. Makary turned a medical career into a megaphone for misinformation. Once a surgeon and professor, he built his brand on public skepticism, rising to power by attacking the very scientific standards he now oversees.

You're in the Trump administration, or you're a Republican in Congress. You consider yourself a decent person. You lack the nerve directly to contradict Trump. But you COULD post your own comment on Rob Reiner to make clear Trump wasn't speaking for you.

Has anyone done this?
