    Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.

    NEW: Three years ago, UnitedHealthcare was sanctioned for illegally denying mental health coverage. We've found similar practices are still very much alive, after reviewing leaked documents that reveal the company’s playbook for limiting care. 🧵👇
