Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

"Political deviants of all kinds long found it convenient to slipstream under the language of more respectable right-wing politics. But...this analysis misses the ways in which the Trump years have genuinely made so many right-wing people worse."
The Cruelty Isn’t the Point. It’s the Pleasure.
Trump 2.0 is a shared sensual experience in hurting other people.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?
NEWSY: The White House confirms tonight that Elon Musk is NOT the administrator of DOGE and is not even technically part of it.
He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
