Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visiting the Centers for Disease Control campus while himself being a leading voice in the vaccine skepticism that poisoned the mind of the alleged assassin at the center of Friday's deadly assault aimed at CDC buildings is quite something. At least he's acknowledged it - unlike the President or the White House at all.

While here, though, RFK Jr. could've swung by Emory University to offer his apologies for pulling funding for mRNA vaccine research, but of course, he didn't.

"“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparations."

Upon further review, I have to admit I came away from my interview with 2026 gubernatorial candidate Jason Esteves a little unfulfilled - mostly with my questioning. He did nothing wrong; I just didn't spend the time I had wisely enough. I'm pretty high on him for reasons other than policy, but he's said nothing policy-wise to sour me, either. Here's the thing: there are those who believe he doesn't definitively say much of substance at all. That has at least one Georgia progressive considering a run for the party's nomination - friend of the show, state Representative Ruwa Romman. She and I texted back & forth a bit yesterday and while I'll keep most of that between us, she didn't deny having interest.

One reason a progressive like Romman is dissatisfied with the field might be the potential that former lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan is openly considering joining it. I've said it before and I'll say it again: ya just joined the congregation, Geoff. What makes you think you should already be a deacon?
