His"health" propaganda is dangerous, damaging and will cause great harm to the population💙 Incapable and unfit for office.

I feel genuinely bad for those who believed RFK Jr was actually going to help solve Long Covid

I understand the desperation for a “cure” when you first become chronically ill

Sadly this is not a man who wants to solve anything

He promotes “wellness” and eugenics where the disabled must disappear

I Am One of 20 Million in US With Long COVID. RFK Pulled the Rug From Under Us.

RFK Jr. has shut down the Office of Long COVID Research and Practice, gutted funding, and derailed trials and studies.

Welp! I'm guessing the Amazon Web Services outage explains why Adobe Express isn't working right now.

But, until it gets its act together... no graphics.

Shnaider Flips the Script

Dayana Yastremska got the jump on Diana Shnaider at Roland-Garros, taking out the 21yo in the 2nd round.

But Shnaider gets her revenge on the hardcourts of Tokyo, sweeping past the Ukrainian, 6-3, 6-1, to move on to round 2.

In the Blood

Her father and brother played pro soccer.

Her grandfather played in the 1962 World Cup.

At age 11, Camila Osorio moved to Florida, not speaking any English, to pursue her own pro sports stardom.

Now 23, Osorio is living the dream, winning easy in Guangzhou today.

Forget It, Reset It

After a pretty lopsided loss to Naomi Osaka in Osaka last week, Japan's most promising junior prospect regroups to get a top-notch win in Tokyo.

Wakana Sonobe dispatches recent Guadalajara semifinalist Nikola Bartunkova, 6-4, 6-3, to reach round 2.

Course Correction

It took a clash with her friend, compatriot, and doubles partner, but Victoria Mboko gets back to the winner's circle in Tokyo.

This year's surprise WTA 1000 champ in Montreal gets her first win since that dazzling run, defeating Bianca Andreescu, 6-3, 6-3, to move on.

Ella'va Win!

After falling to Leolia Jeanjean in Australian Open qualifying back in January, Ella Seidel makes quick work of the Frenchwoman in Guangzhou.

Seidel, who had to rally after losing the 1st set in 3 of her last 4 matches, keeps it breezy today, winning, 6-2, 6-2.

Origin Story

Her uncle, a doctor who helped deliver her, saw a documentary about Jackie Kennedy the night before she was born.

And that's how Jaqueline Cristian got her name.

The Romanian moves her name further in the draw, sweeping past qualifier Alina Charaeva, 6-2, 6-3.

With a Quickness

Vienna fast conditions suit Brandon Nakashima's game.

And with a 69% career win rate indoors (well above his overall 55% rate on all surfaces), today's 6-2, 7-5 win over Luciano Darderi isn't a surprise.

But, a much bigger test awaits: Khachanov or Griekspoor.
