Petty AF! Trump just stripped Kamala Harris of her Secret Service protection, a detail that Biden quietly extended for her safety. Heās punishing political enemies and sending a message. No matter how you feel about Harris, canceling her protection is reckless, dangerous, and beneath the office.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnāt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

A reminder that this is what the path to a full ban on vaccines looks like. No one is banning vaccines for everyone overnight. Just like with abortion, they will carve off one group at a time and hope the those still eligible respond with gratitude and self-interest instead of anger and solidarity.

CDC quietly stopped checking food supply for 6 pathogens (campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersenia)ļæ¼ about two months ago, leaving everyone more vulnerable. Less food surveillance = less food safety. Hey where are you RFK Jr and MAHA moms?
