The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions.
These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.
I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.
