It’s the Epstein tapes.
wouldnt expect bomb blast windows to open
lmao YOU LITERALLY TARIFFED LUMBER
He demands that Pfizer and other companies show their vaccine data (which he calls drugs) to the CDC to show them how good they are. What does this tell us? That the outrage against RFK Jr. is having an effect and we need to push even harder to force this wedge.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽

So Trump stopped another war.
Crime Spree in DC - Yes, this is a real event. No, it’s not sarcasm. Lmao. Your taxpayer dollars are at work.
I have bad news about who compiles such statistics.
He hires "stupid people" everywhere.
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
"Her patient had signs of what could be a cancer or could be an unusual infection — diagnoses that would require completely different treatment. Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing ...the CDC no longer has the capacity to do that"
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
His public praising of trump helped.
Look what happens when you confront the lies, instead of accepting them -- when you *attack* the enemy. Johnson goes on defense. He actually sounds like a Democrat would sound after being attacked by a Republican. This is the way.
Could a Illinois NG MRAP with a couple fellas make a vacation visit to LA be within the law? Just wondering.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this

Swell- "As co-founder of the Thiel Fellowship, he helped launch the careers of young entrepreneurs who founded science and tech companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars."
wonder which one sells more. marketing...sheesh
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
HAPPENING NOW: CDC staff members are greeted by supporters as they stage a walkout at their headquarters in Atlanta in protest against the damage being done to the agency by conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Wow
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
Kash and Bogino are all over it. Dont worry.
Does the FBI have a division for this?
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
Marco can do this job on Wednesday's.
at least there is a career officer available instead of a Trump celebrity ambassador.
I often wondered where Hollywood got its ideas from for crime shows.
Aren't there natural disaster areas that still need attention? Surely that would be better use.
Can CB get the money back they spent on consultations for name change.
All business plans should be submitted to WH from here on out.
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
Can finally test if a zipper in the back helps.
The next reporter needs to state the truth.
as a kid visiting Nova Scotia there was a saw mill with a huge sawdust pile and i was told never to play or climb it because i might disappear.
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
“The loyalists around Trump are much more open and much bolder in their authoritarianism than they were six months ago," says Steve Levitsky. "They’ve learned fight by fight that they can get away with it." Trump's accomplices are running wild. Examples below: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Is he WFH?
Should he be asked if he can shoot someone on 5th.

Rep. Jamie Raskin on Trump's exec order on flag desecration: "One of his first acts in office ... was to grant full and unconditional pardons to violent insurrectionists who themselves used the American flag as a weapon to attack and beat American police officers" on Jan. 6. They included:
We need a vision that isn’t “the opposite of this.” Not just you and me, but also the millions of people who are alarmed to find that the leopard is eating their face. And that vision is *not* some Newsom-style Trump Lite BS. It has to be far more radical and democracy-centered.
If you’re thinking “They™ must be working on a post-fascism plan, I have bad news for you: there is no They. They did nothing about the election of Trump, the prosecution of Trump, or the reelection of Trump. We are They. So we need to figure this out, together, before it’s illegal.
I mean Trump is literally trying to destroy the American free-market economy, the most successful economy in human history, because he wants to shake down our trading partners, he wants all corporations to pay him a personal cut, and he wants to directly control the money supply
Isn't this where chat gpt steps in ?
I asked Eamon bsky.app/profile/eamo...
Donald Trump ran on a promise to use the powers of the government for revenge against those he believed wronged him. He now appears to be fulfilling that campaign promise while threatening to expand his powers well beyond Washington.
He can do that, he just got a badge.
He is literally hearing about it for the first time as his staff briefs him ahead of the summit. Not great omen for the summit itself.
Seems Space X meets all the criteria for government intervention.
@eamonjavers.bsky.social Is SpaceX a good candidate for Gov investment?
Should be NSFW
He means, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
He like everybody else have no idea what trump is going to do. Fuck, everything’s possible.

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

Trump unpromptedly shows reporters a photo of Putin and himself, who he says may be a guest at next year's World Cup in the US: "I'm going to sign this for him... I thought it was a nice picture of him." Putin bombed an American non-military factory in Ukraine yesterday.

Some context for thinking about crime: Since the start of 2023, the murder rate in traditionally Republican states has been about 50% higher than in other states, even when you include D.C. (Figures are from CDC's cause-of-death reporting.)
Good reporting from ProPublica
Zelensky draws attention to this morning’s Russian attack on a factory in western Ukraine owned by the U.S.-based Flex Ltd, one of the world’s biggest electronics manufacturing services companies. Its Mukachevo plant opened in 2012.
