Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.

“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Is AbbVie Stock Too Cheap to Ignore at Today’s Price? todayheadline
The drugmaker has plenty to offer investors. AbbVie (ABBV 0.46%), a pharmaceutical leader, has faced some challenges over the past three years. The company is managing some patent cliffs and clinical setbacks that worried investors and dinged its stock price. Despite all that, the stock still performed well over this period. Yet, there is an argument to be made that AbbVie remains attractively valued and will grow into its valuation over the next five years or so, delivering market-beating returns in the process.

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.

I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

This does not surprise me, and it's exactly why slogans like "trust science" aren't really helpful. Conspiracy theorists often think of themselves *as* scientists: they are looking at evidence and developing theories. They trust the method of science, but think it's been perverted in this case.
Well-reported, this story is quite revealing.

It seems that RFK, Jr. may be genuinely trying to evaluate scientific evidence, but he cherry-picks evidence to support his preconceived views and dismisses other evidence as corrupt.

NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
