As the fascist Project 2025 promised, RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recs for most childhood vaccines, leaving it "to doctors and parents."

Remember that dingus the other day scolding about how it's pointless to yell at "big companies" about their acceptance or use of AI?

Big news out of EDNY today --
Karl Jordan Jr., one of 2 men convicted of Jam Master Jay's killing, had his conviction overturned by the trial judge. Our story is going up soon.
Judge said that while the gov't proved he was in a drug conspiracy, it couldn't prove that's what motivated the murder.

Jury finds Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan guilty of a federal felony charge that she impeded a proceeding before a U.S. department, while acquitting her on a misdemeanor count tied to concealing an individual from discovery & arrest.
Judge Dugan will appeal & hopefully win on appeal.
