Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

This is profoundly irresponsible by AGSulzberger’s NYT, @by-cjewett.bsky.social +eds.
The normalization, “view-from-nowhere”, “born-yesterday”, stenography, “both-sides”, irresponsible headline are disgraceful.
THE story is the CDC&FDA are being destroyed by antiscience & Americans will die.

A health care industry rag featured a story on how hospitals want to use AI for nursing the day after the administration declares nursing degrees will no longer be considered professional degrees. So there’s the endgame folks.

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
