"RFK Jr...has repeatedly disparaged vaccines, falsely linked them to autism and argued that White and Black people should have separate vaccination schedules, according to a Washington Post review of his public statements from recent years." By Lauren Weber + Caitlin Gilbert wapo.st/4jwQS2R

Our latest epi of Sidebar. Which Trump EOs have teeth and will happen; which ones are just talk; and which ones could change American lives but may not be legal. Also: Elon's straight arm gesture: who loves it, and why that matters. And the unimagined J6 pardons. youtu.be/LZQjWuayDGg?...

Congress passes RFK stadium bill in surprise move, giving D.C. control of the stadium site. Passage of the legislation, which transfers the land to D.C. at no cost, is a tremendous win for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), who has long sought to redevelop the site. wapo.st/3ZPelDd
