JD Vance insists Trump deserves credit for his family members getting health coverage. So we asked why. JD Vance’s mom depended on Medicaid while she battled addiction — and then got private health coverage using Obamacare. Both programs were threatened by Trump.

SANDERS: Are you telling us that the former head of CDC went to you, you asked her, “are you a trustworthy person?” And she said, “No, I am not a trustworthy person.” RFK JR: She didn't say, “No, I'm not a trustworthy person.” She said “no”… and I asked her twice.

On Fox News, Marc Siegel MD says RFK Jr claims he never met Tom Corry, who was serving as HHS assistant secretary for public affairs and just resigned. On X last week, RFK Jr posted a photo of his HHS leadership team meeting. I’ve marked Tom Corry with a red arrow.

A few hours after NBC announced that Norm MacDonald had been removed from SNL’s “Weekend Update,” MacDonald went on Letterman to talk about it. Clip is from 1998 — incredible stuff. Can’t believe I’d never seen this before.

Hard to pick a favorite James Earl Jones performance, but his role as chief of the CIA in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER + sequels remains delightful. I still think about this scene where he surprises Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) with news about who’s giving a White House briefing …

In hearing just now, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. presses Casey Means, Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, on whether she'd recommend parents get kids vaccinated MEANS: I'm supportive of vaccination… every individual needs to talk to their doctor before putting a medication in their body.

feel like Val Kilmer was both a huge star who oozed charisma at his peak, and also someone who became severely underrated and forgotten. RIP to an actor who stole TOMBSTONE with scenes like this.

Many federal workers left government this year. Here’s a story about one — a man named Jonathan White. At a town hall this spring, he demanded Democrats do more to stop Trump's agenda. "We want you to show fight, and you are not fighting.” (You may remember this viral clip.)

King Charles jokes about Trump’s ballroom, invoking the famous burning of the White House. “I cannot help noticing the ‘readjustments’ to the East Wing … we British, of course, made our own attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814.”

Trump, after struggling to hear a question, throws it to NASA administrator Jared Isaacman and compliments his ears “You heard that question with those beautiful ears of yours?” Trump asks. “He's got great hearing, you know. He's got super hearing.”

One thing that public health and pharma industry people are watching today: whether Trump will *again* question if the GLP-1 drugs work, even as he touts his price-cut deal. (There's considerable evidence they work.) Here's an example of Trump's skepticism:
