So RFK Jr's HHS released a video on Twitter/X saying to the public one thing about public health, without consulting anyone at CDC, about vaccine schedules/vaccination in kids and pregnant people
And then, when asked for it in writing, HHS presented a totally different story.

Meeting one: "Commit to firing scientists, or resign"
Meeting two: "Pre-commit to signing off on each of the upcoming ACIP recs... he just wanted blanket approval" for vax changes, or resign.
He also asked her to meet with Siri (sp?) who was campaigning to get rid of the polio vaccine.

Online safety is more important than ever right now, and most people give away their location online unknowingly.
I'm Eliza Orlins, a career public defender for 15 years in Manhattan. I spend a lot of time thinking about safety—both offline and online.

Oh, hi, #UglyDogs*!
Are we doomscrolling again?
You realize the world will stay just as bad even without you looking at it, right?
How about we calm down, take a break and post something silly for a change?
I think all of you deserve this.
Calm down first:

Political violence like the Charlie Kirk assassination accelerates our march toward civil unrest — but it's not to late to stop it, @jeffsharlet.bsky.social tells my colleague @bychipbrownlee.com
Narratives About the Killing of Charlie Kirk May Be More Powerful Than the Facts
Jeff Sharlet, the author of ‘The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War,’ talked to The Trace about making sense of this tense moment.

Rolling the dice on a vaccine preventable illness is never the better option. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis is a rare and fatal complication of measles that can occur several years after the original infection. This is sad, this is avoidable. Vaccinate kids!

The county health department said the death is a "painful reminder" of how dangerous measles can be in unvaccinated people.

This is exceptional. Everyone should read it.
At its core it’s inspiring and hopeful about the ability of determined lawyers and judges to use the law to protect those Trump and his followers would harm.
But it’s also devastating. I never much believed in evil, but I do now.

NEW: The law is supposed to protect unaccompanied migrant children from being summarily whisked out of the country by ICE in the dead of night.
But that didn't seem to matter on Labor Day weekend, when the Trump administration tried to do just that.

America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected.
What else did people expect?
All of this could have been avoided.
Alas. We're in it, friends.
