There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

The last few days, the thought I can't shake; the CDC being all but shut down. FEMA being gutted. The proposal to get rid of COVID vaccines. The US government has gone full nihilistic "survival of the fittest*" eugenicist.

And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.

It’s weird that people have a huge problem with tax dollars being used to subsidize part of the cost of someone’s soda with SNAP, and no problem with our tax dollars being used to subsidize the entire cost of a billionaire’s private jets and yachts with Trump’s tax cuts.
