Exclusive: RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows.

Kennedy wants to “Make America Healthy Again” — but doesn’t want you to see a report that could do just that.

The findings will at least still be published, so there's that.
Drinking raw milk and swimming in raw sewage probably makes the cancer go away, especially if paired with a steady diet of roadkill.

And, well, he is, so yeah, I guess so.
 
"But neither Kennedy, who has been in addiction recovery himself for decades"
This is all that needs to be said about Mr Brainworm.

This fucking administration.
Thank you every motherfucking republican that voted for this clown show.
I have been registered as a republican in the past. I am an independent that votes with democrats. The shit show is crazy right now.

Sounds a lot like spasmodic dysphonia, I have a friend whose mother has it. If you listen to NPR, host Diane Rehm had the same condition for many years before she retired. I noticed it in Kennedy a year or so ago the first time I heard him speak. It seems to have gotten much worse lately,

Democrats should weaponize Federalism...unless Republicans do it first. Either way, the winding down of the US as an Empire was always going to be a thing. It's a shame that instead of having Democrats preserve as much as possible, Republicans are going to destroy as much as possible.

The problem with this approach is that if it's state mandated but not federally mandated the state has to pay the cost for people buying policies for individuals.

What’s the problem with that? They can tax businesses since they would presumably benefit the most from it.
 
I did not know that RFK Jr. was a heroin addict for 14 years. I just saw that in a comment to current front page article at The New York Times.

Paywall penetrating link to NYTimes article, good until Sept. 30, 2025:

@Dan It’s amazing how people will believe a man like RFK. If you encounter them, you might ask: do you realize that RFK was a confirmed heroin addict for 14 years? His brain is fried.

AI Overview

Based on his own public statements, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was addicted to heroin for 14 years, starting when he was a teenager. His addiction ended in 1983 following an arrest for heroin possession.

Details of Kennedy's addiction and recovery:
  • The start of addiction: Kennedy has said he began using drugs after his father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1968. He was 14 years old at the time.
  • Arrest and conviction: In September 1983, Kennedy was arrested after falling ill on a flight to Rapid City, South Dakota, where authorities found heroin in his luggage. He later pleaded guilty to felony possession and was sentenced to two years of probation.
 
Oh, he thinks the heroin use was good for him (no, this is not a joke).

I'll tell you something about heroin for me. I did very very poorly in school, until I started doing narcotics. Then I went to the top of my class because my mind was so restless and turbulent and I could not sit still. […] I'd probably today be diagnosed as ADHD, I was bouncing off the walls. I couldn't sit still, I just wanted to get in the woods. […] I started doing heroin, I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still, I could read, and I could concentrate, I could listen to what people were saying, things made sense to me. […] It worked for me. And if it still worked, I'd still be doing it. […] It killed my brother, and it destroys your relationships. It hollows out your whole life. You have a one-dimensional life. I was a bundle of appetites and it was a full time job to feed them, with drugs and sex and alcohol and extreme behavior.

Watching CDC hearings. Typical MAGA weirdness, focusing on who her anti Trump lawyers were, and whether they could catch her in a lie about the way the conversation with Jr. went, when she got fired. In other words, they are still having childhood anxiety about being forced to wear masks and for that reason, they are doing everything they can, to destroy our health system.
