About this listen

The Washington Post hasn't been shy about criticizing RFK Jr.'s Department of Health and Human Services for pushing disinformation on a number of topics, from autism to vaccines, but when RFK Jr's HHS released a report full of anti-trans pseudoscience, they embraced it warmly. With help from Erin Reed's cogent reporting, we examine the falsehoods that WaPo helped endorse, and work to combat the corrosive effect of a major American newspaper spreading them.


We then give a rapid overview of four more topics - the surprise win for Democrat in the race for Omaha's mayor, how a Federal judge is questioning if noncitizens have Constitutional rights, how Michigan's Department of Corrections is violating women prisoners' rights by video recording them even in the shower, and finally what Pope Leo XIV's past and choice of name tells us about his political positions. All this and more on TMI for Friday, May 16, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
