U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a restructuring of the CDC’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) to address public concerns regarding vaccine science. This follows criticisms about the committee’s ties to pharmaceutical companies. Opposing viewpoints argue that the removal of all members could disrupt ongoing vaccine policy development and might be seen as a political rather than scientific decision.
Recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that the number of Americans with disabilities has reached an all-time high, with 35.517 million individuals aged 16 and over reporting a disability in May 2025. This represents a 35% increase since March 2020, with a notable gender disparity where women saw a 41% rise compared to a 32% increase among men. In response to these trends, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) has announced plans to promote blood pressure screenings during Men’s Health Week, following a reported 31% rise in hypertension-related deaths over the past five years. Experts suggest that the increase in disability rates could be linked to long-term effects of the COVID-19 virus, including long-COVID symptoms, which might impact workforce participation rates.
US Politics
Nationwide protests under the banner “NO KINGS” are scheduled for June 14, coinciding with a military parade in Washington, D.C. These protests, organized by groups like Indivisible and the 50501 movement, aim to challenge perceived threats to democracy. The “No Kings” movement has emphasized their commitment to non-violence and their intention to document any misconduct during the protests.
Meanwhile, riots in Los Angeles following federal immigration raids have resulted in over 60 arrests and injuries to reporters. President Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops (and soon to be 700 marines), a move legally challenged by Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass, who allegedly has ties to National Endowment for Democracy-backed regime change operations. Additionally, the Los Angeles Unified School District has instructed the LAPD to interfere with ICE and federal agencies, escalating tensions. Reports from @DataRepublican suggest the riots are coordinated by radical left-wing groups, some linked to Chinese Communist Party propaganda, as part of a nationwide, well-funded effort to justify lockdowns, military presence, and AI surveillance, with June 14 as the next flashpoint. Finally, a report by James Howard Kunstler suggests that the Democratic Party is attempting to influence public sentiment through legal maneuvers to block immigration enforcement and media campaigns. Critics argue this is a strategy to retain power by manipulating public sentiment.
Geopolitics
Israel has transferred Patriot missile systems to Ukraine as Russian forces advance into the Dnipropetrovsk region, part of Putin’s “buffer zone” strategy to counter Ukrainian drone attacks, the Kremlin says. Ukraine welcomes the aid, while Trump’s focus on business with Russia raises doubts about U.S. support. Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev warns the buffer zone could expand across Ukraine.
FBI Director Kash Patel has stated that China might be using the fentanyl crisis as a strategy to undermine the U.S. Despite President Trump’s efforts to impose tariffs on Chinese imports linked to fentanyl, the issue persists, with China reportedly shifting its export routes through India and Canada. China has refuted these claims, stating they have been actively cooperating with international efforts to combat drug trafficking.
