Here are the numbers. The sick and the dead. All premeditated by #Trump, #Vought, #RFKJr. And the hardest hit--people who live in red states, where their governors will just help the suffering along rather than stand with their own constituents. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/opinion/trump-kennedy-health-death-maga-maha.html?unlocked_article_code=1.-08.tl6N.2DPsA-peiWj1&smid=bs-share

Yikes! Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi's memoir, "American Canto," is a massive flop so far. It was savaged in reviews and according to NPDBookScan, has sold 1,164 hardcover copies in its first week on shelves. A book industry insider told @politico it was a “publishing debacle of epic proportions" and said the expectation would have been sales of at least 5,000 in the first week.

The destruction of the world’s leading public health organization endangers us all. Congress has the power to stop it—if necessary, by impeaching and removing the most dangerous HHS secretary in U.S. history.

Writer Olivia Nuzzi's stint as Vanity Fair's West Coast editor is over — by mutual agreement, according to a statement — after revelations about her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and allegations about her journalistic ethics. Managed to avoid all the brouhaha? Here's an excellent primer from @Independent.

The end goal is painfully obvious: reduce the population by eliminating the "unhealthy," defined as anyone who doesn't continue to survive; increase the "unhealthy" by eliminating public health measures.
It's a cull. Impeach #RFKJr. before we return to pre-18th century child mortality rates.
