'Breaking his pledge': Wall Street Journal slams RFK Jr.'s 'ideological crusade' at CDC

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board slammed President Donald Trump's Health Secretary over his "ideological crusade" to turn the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into an anti-vaccine agency.

Last week, the CDC revised its Vaccine Safety page to include a new advisory for claims that "vaccines do not cause autism." The website now says the claim "is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”

A columnist for The Guardian argued on Sunday that the meltdown inspired by a new pink J.Crew sweater caused among many fans of the MAGA movement reveals how "fragile" its "sense of masculinity" truly is.

Last week, J.Crew announced the release of a pink "Fair Isle" sweater that The Guardian columnist Ellie Violet Bramley described in a new column as a traditional preppy piece that seems to align with the fashion sensibilities of the conservative right. However, the backlash the sweater received from several prominent MAGA figures, such as Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) and pundit Juanita Broaddrick, revealed a stark contradiction about the movement's views of masculinity.

Ex-GOP analyst issues dire warning about Trump after midterm: 'He is planning a siege'

President Donald Trump appears to be staring down lame-duck status as the 2026 midterm election approaches, but that doesn't mean his administration will be any less dangerous, even if the GOP gets the thrashing experts expect, according to one ex-GOP analyst.

The president's overall approval rating his at 40% as of November 23, which is down 16 points from when he took office, according to The Economist. Similarly, Americans have largely soured on Trump's domestic and economic policies.

Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to vote against the bill.
