Trump revoking Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House’s shifting story on why CDC chief Susan Monarez was ousted, and more.

August 29, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Friday. Today we’re talking about Trump revoking Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House’s shifting story on why CDC chief Susan Monarez was ousted, and more.

We’re also tracking — and urging media accountability for — Fox’s on-air attempt to “clean up” RFK Jr.’s CDC purge.

🖊️ Add your name to demand reporting that calls the purge what it is, not what spin says it is.

Read about this, and more, with today’s stories:
