The good news here - virtually all doctors, most semi-educated people are ignoring RFK, Jr. We’re all getting Flu and Covid vaccines, go out of our way to do so (sourcing from Canada and UK/EU if need be). The downside - the US is no longer the leader in health care innovation.

I’ve stopped relying on US news outlets to accurately report on Trump 2.0 - they’ve all been cowed. But non-US news sources like The Economist, BBC, Sky News, Financial Times, France 24, have no such problem. Below a very good read, and very non-ideological, from the folks at The Economist

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

Wow. Tonight's speech is an impressive homage to Hitler's 1939 speech to the German Reichstag, just after Germany invaded Poland. Perhaps a bit more grandiose than Hitler's original vision, but a towering speech nevertheless. Long live the bronze Emperor!

So ashamed of our country today - a completely capitulation to Putin. Watching Trump and Vance extorting Ukraine for mineral rights in exchange for nothing is utterly absurd. Watching Republucans justify this capitulation is even worse.
