…As #HHS secretary, Kennedy’s skepticism of mainstream #science is no longer just outsider rhetoric; it now shapes official federal #policy. His efforts to reframe the #pandemic’s legacy come as the #US battles its worst #measles resurgence in more than three decades — a crisis experts warn is fueled directly by the type of #vaccine #misinformation & institutional distrust #RFKJr amplified during the broadcast.

I’m not going to repeat the crazy stuff #RFKJr said. CNN should not have given him a platform. Everything that came out of his mouth was just wrong.

In attempting to rewrite the history of the #US #Covid-19 response, “Health” Secy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday pinned the blame for pandemic lockdowns on Dr. Anthony Fauci, while simultaneously reviving a string of debunked assertions about #vaccines, #RSV & #measles.

Trump: "Is today a 'destroy Iran' day, or a 'pause for negotiations' day?"
Aide: "Let me check with your stock broker."

"What’s remarkable is how differently this administration behaves depending on whether it’s inside a courtroom or on social media.
That’s the story of this regime.
It also makes me think about how the same people who lied to the public about the #ReflectingPool continue to lie to the public about the #Epstein files, the #economy, the deficit, and virtually everything else."

Capital One has never accused the Trump Organization of money laundering.
But the bank's recent disclosure argues that “documents and Plaintiffs’ own allegations make clear that Capital One closed Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (‘AML’) reasons.
“The closures were the result of months of analysis and a careful review by Capital One’s AML team in accordance with bank policies and regulatory guidance.”
Capital One gave notice of its plans to close more than 300 Trump-affiliated bank accounts in March 2021.
The Trump Organization and Eric Trump, the president’s son, forced the bank to respond
as the Trumps filed a lawsuit in March 2025 in a Florida federal court, alleging the accounts were closed because of Capital One’s “woke” beliefs and its desire to benefit from the political mood after the 6 January 2021 riot at the US Capitol.
Capital One said in Friday’s filing that the Trump Organization’s allegations of political pretext were “misguided” and “based on cherry-picked quotations unsupported by the full context” of documents submitted to the court.
“The transaction patterns identified by Capital One are among the types of activity flagged by federal banking guidance,” the filing said.
Since the start of Trump’s second term, his administration has put pressure on other large banks,
echoing conservative complaints that the institutions are deliberately targeting the political right.
Trump signed an executive order in August 2025 barring "discriminatory debanking".
In January, Trump filed a suit against JPMorgan Chase on the same grounds,
underscoring the fraught policy environment Wall Street is navigating during the president’s second term.
In 2019, during his first term, Trump sued Capital One and Deutsche Bank in an attempt to prevent them from sharing financial records with Congress as part of a probe led by Democratic lawmakers.
Anti-money-laundering professionals at Deutsche Bank reportedly flagged a set of transactions -- but executives ignored them;
Deutsche Bank denied the report at the time.

NEW: ProPublica reviewed hundreds of cases in which judges criticized the actions of Justice Department lawyers.
We found judges nominated by both parties who are frustrated that they can no longer take the government at its word.

A proposed White House rule would give political appointees unprecedented control over scientific funding.
One physicist, who helped discover the Higgs boson, the so-called “God particle,” explains how the move would’ve stifled that breakthrough.

"In 2015 few people, including Trump, believed that he could be elected President. A team within Facebook spotted an opportunity & worked with the Trump team on an advertising strategy & then targeting political messages at very specific groups of people. They strengthened support from some & discouraged others from voting. For Facebook, what mattered was growing the clicks. The impact on the rest of the world was something else"

#Trump backtracked on Friday from a promise to let #Ukraine make Patriot missiles, a sorely needed #defense interceptor against #Russia’s deadly ballistic missile attacks.
On July 8, Trump had unexpectedly assented to sharing technology behind the missiles to allow Ukraine to build them, saying that “we’ll give them the right to make Patriots” during a meeting with President #Zelensky on the sidelines of the #NATO summit. He added: “We’ll show them how to do it.”
"The #US dropped a 2,000-pound bomb, one of the largest in its arsenal, on a home on Qeshm Island, killing a husband, his wife, and their two-year-old son. The Times found no #military site anywhere near that house. Not anywhere close. This is a war crime, plain and simple...
From the bombing of a girls’ school to this, the US keeps killing innocent civilians throughout this #war. Was #AI used for targeting during this strike too?"

"Iranian #cyberattacks have now struck #water infrastructure in at least 7 states... roughly 30 water treatment plants in #Minnesota were hit... A memo... ties the Minnesota attacks directly to #Tehran.
#Trump decided to take Iran’s side in all of this, & blamed Minnesota...
#Iran has been targeting #US water & #energy infrastructure for years now... it would be nice if the president at least pretended to care about protecting US citizens."

JUST IN: DOJ reflecting pool scandal grows, Trump blurts out the truth about his insurrectionist slush fund, FIFA prez Infantino faces calls to resign, U.S. bombs a home in Iran, and what are these floats in Amsterdam about? Your Saturday recap is here.

"let’s be very clear about what it [ #IRS deal/ #SlushFund ] really does. It’s a vehicle for Trump himself.... We’re talking about a potential waiver of tax investigations & audits into his own finances. With all of his schemes, that possibly covers BILLIONS of dollars in #tax liability. The cash for #January6th insurrectionists, as horrifying at it is, is also a cover story for #Trump to enrich himself"
