The NYT reports that a vaccine official resigned because RFK Jr. is a liar who does not care about truth or public safety:The Food and Drug Administration’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, resigned under pressure Friday and said that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s aggressive stance on vaccines was irresponsible and posed a danger to the public.
“It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Dr. Marks wrote to Sara Brenner, the agency’s acting commissioner. He reiterated the sentiments in an interview, saying: “This man doesn’t care about the truth. He cares about what is making him followers.”Q: Is it fair to call MAGA people like djt and RFK Jr. killers due to them deceiving people into not getting vaccinated, and they die from an infection or pass an infection to someone else who then dies?__________________________________________________________

The Daily Beast reports that djt has added a pro-Russia propagandist to the White House press pool: "A right-wing influencer who was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to spread Russian propaganda during the 2024 presidential election has been added to the White House press pool. On Friday, someone from Tim Pool’s “Timcast” YouTube channel will be part of the press pool covering President Donald Trump, said Will Sommer, a journalist with The Bulwark, in a social media post on X."
We can reasonably expect mostly lies and slanders from this MAGA slug. But I won't be paying any attention to anything he says.

Talking Points Memo writes:“There is this kind of extensive command for the attorney general not only to search out prosecution of election crimes, but to engage in all this information sharing to try to basically supplant states in their role,” Danielle Lang, Campaign Legal Center’s Senior Director of Voting Rights, explained in an interview with TPM. “But there is this kind of attempt to really force the Department of Justice to be front and center and demand all this information from the states and penalize the states that do not engage in this kind of joint weaponization of prosecution.”
The scope of the information that the EO is directing states to share with the DOJ is broad. If implemented, this “information sharing agreement” would require states to share information on people who have committed amorphous “election fraud,” as well as information on people who registered to vote more than once.
Registering to vote more than once, which more often than not happens because a voter’s old registration was never cancelled, is not actually a crime and is a common mistake that is cleaned up as part of state election officials’ routine voter roll maintenance duties.
This look like a MAGA attempt to conduct massive purges of democrats from voter rolls. As usual with MAG, there in no evidence. MAGA claims of voter fraud and election integrity are lies and smoke screens, to subvert the 2026 elections.
