News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.
NEW from me: Even in this holiday week there came yet more evidence, as if we need it, that Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to America and all that we value. He must be impeached and forever removed from office.

Impeach Donald Trump before he destroys everything
I'm grateful this Thanksgiving that more Americans, including some Republicans, understand how dangerous this moment is, and are willing to fight this lawless and cruel regime.

The courage, the sacrifice and the solidarity of Chicagoans during the ICE/CBP raids is who we are. If the folks in charge of Northwestern University don’t get that then maybe we should take a harder look at the school’s local tax breaks.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Is it too early to ask how may people Donald Trump has turned into criminals by directing them to break the law?
“Junior officers, fearing potential legal exposure, asked military lawyers for written sign-off before taking part in strikes...
“It does not appear that such memos were furnished.
“Some personnel are worried they might need attorneys” under a new administration

White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

This story, phrased as always in vague obfuscations about the horror involved, interposed with the timeline’s other RFK Jr. storyline is quite something this morning.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Good that JK called him out on the Walmart lie, but he let Hassett get away with saying inflation is down since Biden. It's not down. October 2024 inflation was 2.6%. October 2025 inflation was 2.9%. Also, average gas price is slightly higher now than November 2024.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.
