Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post...

Mike Bloomberg warns making RFK Jr. HHS secretary risks killing Americans, urges Senate to reject him​

Billionaire and public health advocate Mike Bloomberg on Tuesday excoriated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. health secretary, over his anti-vaccine record and urged the Senate to reject his bid to lead the nation’s top health agencies.

“Just imagine if RFK Jr. had been in office during Trump’s first term,” Bloomberg said at the Bloomberg American Health Summit in Washington D.C.

“Would Operation Warp Speed have even happened? And if it did, how long would the vaccines have been delayed? How many fewer people would have gotten the shot? How many more people would have died?”

“All we can say for sure is this: It would have made Covid even more deadly and even more economically painful,” he said.

Giving RFK Jr. the power to steer U.S. health policy, he warned, would be “beyond dangerous, it would be medical malpractice on a mass scale.”

Now that Gaetz is gone and Hegseth is on his way out it will be RFK's turn in the barrel.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Imagine issuing a press release boasting that you are trying to disenfranchise more than 60,000 voters. That is what it means to be the North Carolina GOP.

Maxwell: Florida threatens teachers who don’t pull ‘inappropriate’ books, but refuses to say which books are OK. It is chaos and censorship by design.
