I got the newest 990s from Bigtree's nonprofit. 2022 was a banner year. The group brought in $13.4 mil and Bigtree got a big raise, bringing his salary to $284,000. It's unclear how this new post will affect the nonprofit, which is prohibited from engaging in political activity.

New: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hires Del Bigtree, popular anti-vaccine activist, as his presidential campaign’s communications director. The latest evidence that RFK's presidential run is a dressed-up national anti-vaccine campaign. A few exclusive details: nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…

Bigtree's letter announcing his new job with the campaign is equally colorful. (It's actually wild; I invite you to read the whole thing.) nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…

Oh and as his anti-vaxx coalition grows stronger & more obvious, Kennedy is losing support of key early backers: the anti-war bloc. Ex-campaign manager Dennis Kucinich told me after leaving the campaign in Oct, he no longer supports Kennedy as a candidate. nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…

Bigtree’s title is new, but his involvement with the campaign isn't. He's appeared at events and fundraisers, and campaign finance records show the Kennedy campaign has paid nearly $90,000 in “communications consulting” to a Texas firm registered in May under Del Bigtree’s name.

One of those miss-your-stops reads from Tom Scocca. On the fickleness of health and bodies and this industry.

The first big hurdle for Kennedy Jr is in North Carolina—where he has to collect more than 83,000 signatures to get on the ballot by March 5th. Per the NC’s elections data base, Kennedy Jr currently has ZERO signatures in NC.

The Real Truther I suspect there is a big difference between what one sees when working on the floor vs. auditing large numbers of cases, especially if you are biased against the vaccine and bad outcomes stand out to you.

Wait -- This ruling would seemingly undermine the Fifth Circuit's prior ruling in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine vs. FDA, in which the court basically ruled that AHM only had standing *because* of their duty to treat, right?

Woah. This is a huge deal, demands tech press attention. If Facebook moves forward, the FTC should be ready with (another) inquiry. This report says Facebook is going to start tracking web activity for users who have turned off “Off-Facebook Activity.” First, some background. /1

There is one area where I have not yet meshed with Biden; he talks about how there will come a time when the memory of the lost child will bring a smile to one's face rather than a tear to the eye. I am not there. Nine years in, while the grief has changed, it is still profound.

I wrote this meditation on grief more than two years ago when Fox was attacking Joe Biden for... lacking empathy. Classic attack, going after his strength. But I know first hand how wonderful Biden is for those grieving, whether famous or not. He was a stalwart for me & my family

Tomorrow is the worst day of the year for me and my family. It is the 9th anniversary of the death of our son Matthew-- and also, six years before that, the death of his grandmother, my beloved mother-in-law.
