The FDA’s chief vaccine regulator, Vinay Prasad, demanded the removal of six YouTube videos featuring himself, which were hosted on a channel run by Dr. Jonathan Howard, a critic of medical misinformation. Howard’s entire channel, containing numerous videos of doctors and commentators, was subsequently deleted by YouTube, citing copyright infringement. Howard stated his intention was to preserve public comments made by these individuals during the early pandemic. The videos were a collection of public statements. A spokesperson for the FDA stated Howard’s actions constituted copyright violation and that the videos remain available on Prasad’s podcast channel.

The White House has issued a warning to Republican members of Congress, stating that pursuing the complete release of the Jeffrey Epstein files would be viewed as a “very hostile act” by President Donald Trump. Despite the release of over 33,000 documents by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, a bipartisan push led by Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna aims for full transparency. Massie, along with a few other Republicans, has initiated a discharge petition to force a vote on the full file release, facing pressure from the White House and the Speaker. Notably, some Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have signaled support for Massie’s efforts, emphasizing their commitment to exposing those involved in the Epstein case.

The House Oversight Committee released over 30,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, though a majority of the files were already publicly available. The release followed a subpoena from Chairman James Comer, who sought the “full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files,” yet notably did not subpoena former President Donald Trump. Democrats criticized the release, claiming it was a cover-up, while the released files included a video clip of a young woman recounting her experience and court documents from Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. The move comes as Congress returns from recess, with Epstein’s crimes and associated networks expected to be a prominent topic of discussion.

Over 1,000 current and former US Department of Health and Human Services employees have written a letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging his resignation due to actions they claim have put American health at risk. The letter specifically cites the facilitation of Dr. Susan Monarez’s firing, the appointment of “political ideologues” to vaccine policy roles, and the rescinding of emergency use authorizations for COVID-19 vaccines without providing supporting data. This follows the ousting of Monarez and the resignations of several senior CDC officials, sparking calls for Kennedy’s removal from both members of Congress and public health groups. Kennedy has defended his actions, claiming to be restoring public trust in the CDC and eliminating conflicts of interest within the agency.

In Newbern, Alabama, Patrick Braxton, the first Black mayor, secured a decisive victory in the recent election, garnering 66 votes compared to his opponent’s 26. This marks a significant turning point after a dispute where White residents initially blocked Braxton from assuming office. This election, the town’s first in decades, was a result of a federal settlement following a lawsuit challenging the town’s historical governance practices, which previously relied on appointed officials. Braxton, who had previously been locked out of the town hall after running unopposed in 2020, was finally able to serve last year after a three-year legal battle.

Rather than demanding full transparency, Speaker Johnson scheduled a vote that would allow Republicans to direct the Oversight Committee to continue its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s case. This move comes as the House Oversight Committee plans to meet with Epstein’s victims to investigate mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation, the circumstances of Epstein’s death, and sex-trafficking rings. Representatives Massie and Khanna, who are advocating for the release of the Epstein files, view Johnson’s vote as political cover, allowing Republicans to appear to act while avoiding actual disclosure, with Massie planning to file a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the files.
