BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.
Doocy asked Trump if he saw that he was "dead" according to Twitter. He said he has no idea. Then says, he heard about it. Says he did numerous shows, long "Truths", was very active. Then says he never heard about the rumor.Then says: "they wondered if I was OK, but didn't hear it to that extent"

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

"It is grasping at straws to justify an open-ended 'national emergency' power of the sort that should be disfavored in our laws unless it is granted in terms far more explicit than these."

I shot this video at a history of polio museum in Joburg, South Africa This is how dreadful things were before mass vaccination made this disease disappear If quacks like RFK Jr had their way, we could see the return of polio!!
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
The sole mention of RFK Jr's opposition to vaccines is a throwaway aside in the 12th graf of the story, amidst some credulous useful idiocy from Zeke Emanuel. Nothing about his destruction of medical research in America. It treats him like he and Obama are pursuing the same goal slightly differently
the one time I think dems should get on Fox news and demand to know why RFK Jr hates Trump's vaccine
The Emmy-winning journalist spent two decades at CNN, joining in 1981 as its first Pentagon correspondent.

Additional local reporting on the inhumane treatment of ICE detainees at Broadview. 👇 "They don't have showers. They don't have beds. They don't have kitchen facilities. It's not meant to be a processing center. That is really all it is. It's not meant to hold people for longer than 12 hours."
