Trump is sending Americans $500 checks with a letter blaming Biden for supposedly overcharging them for Obamacare. But as @citizencohn.bsky.social explains on MS NOW, there was no overcharge, and Trump is repackaging money meant to help run the ACA as a personal refund.

Honestly, I do think comparisons with the Tuskegee experiment are valid; here, the Danish researchers will knowingly inflict harm on half the babies, & they know that ethicists worldwide have condemned the study yet they have simply dismissed the ethical concerns & want to take RFK Jr’s 💰 & push on

When the story first broke on the unethical experiment on infants in Guinea-Bissau, which will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine, a reporter asked me if I thought any IRB would approve it. I said “maybe”, because I feared that embedded racism might lead to an approval. And now it’s back on.

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific. Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.
The Court directs defendants to file the declaration(s), and to arrange for the Memo to be available for in camera review, within two weeks of this decision. See ACLU II, 2016 WL 889739, at *6 (ordering Government, within five days, to produce document at issue and “advise the court who has received [it] (including persons who received it from its original recipients) and for what purpose”); Elec. Frontier Found. v. U.S. Dep’t of Just., 826 F. Supp. 2d 157, 172 (D.D.C. 2011) (directing agency to “provide further explanation regarding whether it shared with non-Executive Branch entities the responsive documents that it withheld from the plaintiff”). Defendants are authorized to make appropriate redactions in the declaration as publicly filed, while filing the unredacted declaration under seal. Upon review of these materials, the Court will determine whether to commission supplemental briefing.
