Dr. Demetre Daskalakis resigned from the CDC in protest of RFK Jr’s actions that harm America’s public health: “There is a weaponization of the CDC. There is an expunging of science and it’s being replaced by conspiracy,” says Daskalakis. “It will take decades to undo.”

In a stunning and hasty reversal the U.S. Coast Guard announced that swastikas and nooses are prohibited hate symbols — erasing an attempt to soften their definition after the plan elicited furious backlash.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.
