Full update on Charlie Kirkโs Assassination (9/11/25 at 9:30am est) Charlieโs body will be returned home today. They do have camera footage of the shooter making his way up to the roof, leaving, and going into a neighborhood. They have collected footprints, a handprint, and more. They do have images of him. The FBI is using technology to try to identify him. If unsuccessful, they will release the images to the media for help. A bolt action riffle was recovered in the woods. While they do not want to release identifying information as of right now, they say he blended in well with the university and appeared to be college age.

He represented the NAACP in opposing a garbage transfer station in a minority neighborhood, successfully reopened Croton Point Park for Bronx residents, and forced the reopening of Pelham Bay Park, which had been converted into a police firing range. International and Indigenous Rights: Kennedy has worked globally to protect indigenous rights and preserve natural habitats. He assisted tribes in Chile, Canada, Ecuador, and Mexico in opposing large-scale projects that threatened their lands and ecosystems. Notable successes include derailing most proposed dams on Chile's Biobรญo River, halting Mitsubishi's salt facility in Baja, and preventing dams on Chile's Futaleufรบ River. Military and Vieques: Kennedy challenged environmental damage caused by the U.S. military, notably suing the Navy over bombing exercises in Vieques, Puerto Rico. He was imprisoned for protesting the exercises, which eventually led to their termination. He has also been vocal about pollution caused by military activities, describing the Department of Defense as a major environmental offender.

Tucker went right for it and asked Secretary Kennedy about studying vaccines and autism. โThe Institute of Medicineโฆhad said in 2001 that the link between autism and vaccines is biologically plausible.โ The Institute of Medicine then recommended several thorough studies. โCDC never did those.โ
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson

โ158 injuries are suspected to be vaccine injuries, only 38 of those have been studied. Most of those, it was positive. โThe others have never been studied. CDCโs job is to study them, and yet they never studied them AND THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL. Iโm not saying that out of speculation, Iโm saying that because IโVE SEEN THE EMAILS.โ To make matters worse, publishers will not publish a study that is critical of vaccinesโฆ
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
โThe Institute of Medicineโฆsaid that โthe only system that CDC has to study vaccine injury is so bad that any study done on it, weโre not gonna count.โโ Itโs unreliable because itโs self reporting, takes doctors a lot of time to fill out, and itโs hard to tell what side effect came from what medical intervention.
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
So CDC created a new system in 2010 for millions of dollars to track vaccine injuries reliably. โVaers was capturing fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries.โ โThey had a system now that would capture over 95%.โ โThe data showed injuries in about 2.7% of vaccinesโฆ CDC saw that and said โweโre not going to use this system.โ And they shelved it in 2010 and theyโve continued to use Vaers.โ
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Now here is the good news: โWeโre going to createโฆa system that actually works.โ Even the 2010 system is outdated now though. AI is going to look at all the data the department has to see how each drug works on the population. https://t.co/TWCAG59smR

But when someone is injured by a vaccine, they canโt sue the manufacturer. They can only sue the government over the injury. โWe just brought a guy in THIS WEEK whoโs going to be revolutionizing the vaccine injury compensation program.โ Kennedy wants to expand the statute of limitations and start taking care of families who have been injured instead of protecting pharma.
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson

The vaccine advisory board NEVER turned down a vaccine. โA lot of these vaccines are for diseases that are not even casually contagious.โ โYou know they recommended the hepatitis b vaccine for babies when theyโre an hour old- the first day of life.โ โEvery mother that goes to the hospital in this country tested for it, so we know which ones, you know, are vulnerable and which arenโt.โ โThe risk to a one day old baby was one in seven million.โ

Now letโs shift gears. Tucker asked Kennedy who he likes in the Presidentโs cabinet and I was not ready for his first choice. โI really get along with Pam Bondi.โ โMarco Rubio is the funniest guy in the cabinet.โ โI was never very, letโs say, approving of Marco because he was kind of a neocon warhawk.

President Trumpโs cabinet is made up of people who are very well spoken- and thatโs by design. โOne of the things President Trump did when he picked the cabinet, and I was on the transition team so I watched what he was doing, for every one of the positions that he picked, he wanted to see three clips of them performing on TV.โ

Dr. Casey Means is one of the most controversial nominations - especially for a low level position. After falling down a rabbit hole, I can tell you that we have all been distracted and we are asking the wrong questions. This is what I found ๐งต https://t.co/psFUbV1wZv
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
1/ Starting with the history of the Surgeon General since most people do not know what they manage. The Surgeon General is known as the Nation's Doctor. While this role has turned into more of a publicity position, it was not always like this. https://t.co/swRuLm7mca
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
2/ At the start, the office was compromised of only physicians who cared for sick and injured sailors. It wasn't until 70 years later when they were given a former leader called the "Supervising Surgeon." The first Supervising Surgeon, John Woodworth, created a mobile unit of physicians "who could be assigned and moved as needed to the various marine hospitals." Also, "he issued publications on cholera and yellow fever."
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
3/ The small group of physicians has now grown to over 6,000 medical professionals in different fields that make up the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. "These men and women serve on the frontlines in the nation's fight against disease and poor health conditions" and are "one of America's seven uniformed services."
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
4/ Here are some of the deployments they have had in recent years. https://t.co/nXtQX8MMrE
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
5/ Not only does the Surgeon General oversee the Commissioned Corps, they also communicate public health information. The Surgeon General's report in 1964 about how smoking is linked to lung cancer had a profound impact on the public. https://t.co/mB1MKB1LZI
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
7/ Now, we know that the Surgeon General oversees the Commissioned Corps, but who is in charge of the Surgeon General? The Assistant Secretary for Health - not to be confused for the Deputy Secretary of HHS. The Assistant Secretary of Health reports to the Secretary of HHS (RFK Jr).
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
8/ All the chaos about Casey Means is interesting as we don't know much about her boss, Dr. Dorothy Fink. Right now she is the acting Assistant Secretary and I can't find a nomination from President Trump for this role. https://t.co/oHskvjrRXp
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
9/ We have also been so distracted that we haven't been keeping track of the Deputy Secretary nomination (second in command to Kennedy), @regardthefrost. He went in front of the HELP committee yesterday and all went well (which is probably our sign that everything is not well.) So who is he? "O'Neill, known as an investor in science and technology, previously served as CEO of Trump backer Peter Thiel's namesake foundation as well as HHS principal associate deputy secretary during the George W. Bush administration, among other roles."
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
10/ And here it is- the reason we have been distracted, "Senator, as you know I am very strongly pro-vaccine, I'm an advisor to a vaccine company, I support the CDC vaccine schedule." https://t.co/Os0o3YHJKZ
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
11/ Getting back to the Surgeon General. The budget of the department doesn't actually come from the Office of the Surgeon General, it comes from the departments in which the Commissioned Corps works. Everything else is allocated through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH).
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
12/ Maybe we are looking at this all wrong. Instead of asking if Casey Means is the right person for the job, we should ask if we need a Surgeon General at all. The Commissioned Corps already works in other departments. The reporting side of the job is already done by CDC, FDA, and NIH - we don't need to duplicate jobs. This has left the Surgeon General acting as more of a publicity role. So do we need it?
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
13/ Finally, can we turn our attention to pharma shill @SenBillCassidy who keeps blocking anyone who asks questions about vaccines and @regardthefrost who is a vaccine advisor and about to become the Deputy Secretary? We keep saying no one can be appointed that has questioned vaccines and that is due to one man- Bill Cassidy. Imagine if we put all of our manpower that has been exerted the last 48 hours on him instead- we might actually get things done. That would be great, thanks.

Ron Paul has a direct message for President Trump: โThe fact is, Yemen hasnโt even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling.โ โItโs not our war. End US military involvement in the Middle East and our troubles disappear.โ - Ron Paul is right. This isnโt about protecting our ships, itโs about protecting Israel.

Some people definitely did not expect me to dig up this old clip. This is Kennedy in 2008 testifying to Congress on the harmful effects of mercury. Ed Markey was the chair who invited him, and he now says, โRobert Kennedy Jr. is an unqualified, unserious, and dangerous nominee for US Secretary of Health and Human Services.โ Funny how no one called him crazy then.

Here is a thread of each senator in the finance committee and who funds them. RFK Jr's confirmation hearing is next week. Before the whole senate votes to confirm him, the Finance Committee questions and votes for him. Keep in mind, they will put on quite the show for their donors. See if any of your senators are below. ๐งต

@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Ron Johnson (R - Wisconsin) Johnson has been very outspoken about Big Pharma. He has received about a million from the healthcare industry but I believe most of this is pre pandemic or from individual health care professionals. The only pharma donor I see post-pandemic is Elevance Health. Already a yes vote.

@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Elizabeth Warren (D- Massachussets) Warren is an interesting one. She has received 748k from the healthcare industry but she has no corporate donors...that we know of. This made me dive deeper into some strange connections since she has been the most outspoken over Kennedy by repeated common propaganda points. View my findings at the bottom of the thread.
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Bernie Sanders (D- Vermont) Bernie has received almost 1.3 million from the healthcare industry. However, Sanders does not have any corporate donors. These donations are from individual people who work in healthcare.

@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Peter Welch (D- Vermont) I guess best for last. Welch has only received 53,000 from the healthcare industry mainly through a seperate pac. I honestly think that opensecrets might not have their data synced properly for this one- but who knows. Donors include Teladoc Health, Ecolab, and P&G.
@AnnaRMatson - Anna Matson
Please, reach out to your senators to ask them to confirm RFK Jr. We outnumber their donors. Stand for Health Freedom made it super easy to send your senators a letter. I have no incentives with this organization. I have just met some of their team. @standforhealth1 https://standforhealthfreedom.com/actions/kennedy/

Trump just signed the TikTok executive order while taking questions from the press. Imagine that - a president that answers questions from the press. Wild. https://t.co/0ewVTX8daf
