The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."
Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."
The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.
The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."
This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.
They're letting Social Security fail because they refuse to scrap the cap and make the super-wealthy pay their fair share.
Letting Social Security become insolvent is a choice.
Wait, so we were told to take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth, and conserve water at every opportunity… but data centers can show up and use millions of gallons like it’s nothing?
Dr. Oz is attempting to lay the foundation for Republicans to gut Medicaid and Medicare again by calling them programs “of great danger” to the American people.
These people have no health care plan other than taking away yours.
yall dont see the correlation between the pedophile president with inside ties to a child rape trafficking enterprise and the explosion of missing and pregnant children in these concentration camps? this is what happens when we do nothing

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
I welcome this. These are measures that should have been introduced in 2022, but better late than never.
Anyone who chose to take part in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine should not expect unrestricted access to Europe afterwards.
Actions have consequences. 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Sure, the company that makes million dollar slot machines that age like milk and cause mental illness is worth more than fucking Japan.
If you don’t understand that this is a bubble, you are a galactic idiot.
Make no mistake: The US government will socialize the immense costs of subprime AI. They will force us all to eat the losses, while the perpetrators of the biggest fraud in history abscond to private islands. Be ready, because a deliberate rug-pull is the plan.
This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
Despite all his bs, there was never, ever, ever a possibility that Trump, for a single second, thought when he started this war it would be unresolved on June 7 with the strait closed. The buffoon thought it would be quick and easy now he has no clue how to get out of his mess.
There are only 236 of them left on Earth. Every single one has a name.
The kākāpō is the world's heaviest parrot - a mossy green, owl-faced bird the size of a small dog that cannot fly, may live to 90 years, and only breeds every 2 to 4 years when New Zealand's rimu trees produce enough fruit to trigger the urge.
Rats. Cats. Stoats. Humans clearing forests. The kākāpō never evolved to outrun any of them.
By 1995, 51 birds remained. Scientists, rangers, and Ngāi Tahu - the Māori people who have always known this bird as taonga, a treasure—evacuated every last one to predator-free islands.
Each bird got a transmitter. Each nest watched around the clock.
This past February 14th, the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched. They named her Tīwhiri. By spring, 59 chicks had been born.
236 birds. Every name known. Every nest watched.
Who's counting down the days until the rimu trees fruit again? 🦜

Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You don’t get to decide to “move on” from the Epstein Files or from following the congressional law. That decision can only be made by the American people and Congress.
You will be disbarred. The files will eventually be released.
November is coming.
Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.
Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
