“Health” Secy Robert F Kennedy Jr has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside the #HHS, a sprawling “research” effort is top priority.

RFK Jr. Is Driving a Vast Inquiry Into Vaccines, Despite His Public Silence

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has toned down his public criticism of vaccines, under orders from the White House. But inside his department, a sprawling research effort is a top priority.

The New York Times

#HHS declined to answer a series of questions for this article, instead offering a general statement that the agency “remains committed to protecting & strengthening #Medicaid for those who rely on it…while eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse.”

Concerns about what the interim rule from #RFKJr could look like:

A person with debilitating #ChronicPain, or a serious #AutoimmuneDisease, may appear “able-bodied” by the standards RFK Jr appears poised to implement—even as they face hurdles in qualifying for #SocialSecurity #disability due to not being considered #disabled “enough”.

This also highlights the cruelty of Nebraska’s implementation of work requirements before the Jan 1, 2027 deadline.

Especially because an interim rule from the #HHS Secretary #RFKJr is not even due until June 1.

#Medicaid #WorkRequirements do not increase employment. Instead, the administrative burden of work requirements only serves to kick people off this governmental #HealthInsurance. Additionally, a majority of people on Medicaid, who are not on Supplemental Security Income, work full or part-time jobs. This underlines how rhetoric around work requirements is just false.

Fleming represents the two men — a Venezuelan man & a Mexican man both in the country illegally — in the ongoing litigation that claims the #FederalGovernment continues to violate the 2022 Castañon Nava settlement agreement, which limits #ICE's ability to #arrest people without #warrants or #ProbableCause.

Court records show #Chicago #immigration raid was about #squatters, not Venezuelan #gangs

Newly revealed arrest records show that a high-profile immigration raid on a South Shore Chicago apartment building last year that became a symbol of #Trump's harsh immigration tactics actually targeted squatters, not Venezuelan gang members.

Federal “health” ofcls are weighing vaccine guidance that would encourage parents to talk to a doctor to make decisions for most shots…. This approach would mark a fundamental shift in the #healthcare system that generally relies on federal #health agencies to guide how #patients are protected against #disease [& importantly what #HealthInsurance must cover].

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors

The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The Washington Post

#USDA Secy Brooke Rollins on Tuesday threatened to cut off federal #funding to #Democratic-leaning #states over their alleged refusal to share #SNAP program #data with the #Trump admin.

The admin "will begin to stop moving federal funds into those states" starting next week "until they comply," Rollins told Trump during a White House #Cabinet meeting.
