I’m going to reiterate that RFK Jr. will not stop until he takes away every vaccine recommendation and thereby reduces access to them.

This interview with Kirk Milhoan is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my entire career.

He seems to think that a polio outbreak would be just fine.
Top CDC vaccine adviser questions need for polio shot, other longstanding recommendations

JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

Federal agents going door to door, forcing entry, and detaining people without judge-signed warrants is a grotesque abuse of power and violation of the 4th amendment.

That’s not law enforcement. It’s a secret police force.

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day.

You may have heard that there’s a measles outbreak in Arizona. You may not have heard that 97% of the cases were unvaccinated, and that measles continues to spread in the state.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Not that I'm saying the Christian Bible would have been a vaild source anyways, but she didn't actually quote from it.
Vague references, yes, but no quotes.
One of the reasons I’m glad I retired from Professoring before the 2024 election is seeing Universities cave to right wing pressure.

The U of Oklahoma’s decision to remove Mel Curth from her teaching position for failing a student who quoted the Bible instead of a reliable source is one example.

This is profoundly un-American.

No—that's not right.

It's *anti*-American.

It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions.

The person who wrote and approved this is a weirdo who detests everything that America stands for.

Once again, imagine if a Democratic President said this.
"Tucker Carlson is a dead man walking"
"Fox News should have it's license revoked"
Republicans would be bursting blood vessels over it, and Democrats would agree with them.

It's a "national security risk"
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

On 19 Dec 2025, 3I/ATLAS made its closest approach to Earth, coming to within 168 million miles (270 million kms) of our planet at 1 a.m. EST (0600 GMT).
It wasn't a marauding space invader from another world.
It didn't impact us or our n neighbors.
It was a comet. Just as predicted.
