3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

@radleybalko.bsky.social with 3 things Democrats can do right now: Opposition town halls in red states and districts. Daily briefing on Trump outrages. And my favorite, a shadow cabinet tracking what each department is doing. (Think Raskin as shadow AG, etc.) radleybalko.substack.com/p/three-thin...

New tonight: A federal judge in Washington has blocked, for now, Trump's removal of the head of an independent US agency that protects government whistleblowers -- finding the removal effort "plainly" goes against US law https://buff.ly/4hyZa96
