So, Dumpy met with Pooty and now Dumpy is sick? What kind of tea was served that day? Did Dumpy get a pink slip and a poisoning?
Maybe begin with a thorough reading of āletter from a Birmingham jailā instead.

Good morning, you beautiful humans. We have some good momentum going into this week ahead of Thursdayās hearing. Letās use it! Call your reps, demand they fire RFK Jr. Theyāre listening- weāll see which of them steps up to do the right thing. #SaveHHS #USAnotRFK #FireRFKJr
Trump on RFK Jr., the CDC, and vaccines (a translation). He seems to be saying that he was shown data about COVID19 vaccines being safe and effective, but that the pharma companies didnāt show those amazing data to anyone else, like RFK Jr. He thinks this is why there is a āmessā at CDC.
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.

Perhaps the most famous lines Carl Sandburg (1878ā1967) ever wrote were from this 1914 poem, āChicago.ā The toughness of commerce and vitality of labor in Chicago are inseparable from the cityās fuller characterāthe joyful and the unseemly aspects alike.

I just think that the proportion of tweets you send about the impending doom of electoral democracy vs how much blue sky and progressives suck is very telling of oneās priorities, and from the outside you gotta wonder about the incentives and incidences that landed one at said ratio
"What other times have powerful leaders been ill and concealed the truth? This is a dynamic that happens to a certain degree with any older or infirm leader, in part because most cultures have absorbed at least a whiff of a fascist ethos, in which weakness is seen as shameful."

I read somewhere that 47 is ādying of canklesā and now thatās become a fact in my head, along with Garfield dying of getting food shoved in his butt, and Harding dying of bad cherries, and W.H. Harrison dying because he accidentally drank poop water.
Thereās something about when people in lofty positions die due to genuinely stupid reasons. With Harrison, weāre taught that he died of pneumonia after making everyone stand outside for hours listening to his inaugural speech. But he was only sick for a short time, and habituated to the cold.
Instead, he likely contracted enteric fever - typhoid - because the White House drinking water was collected immediately downstream of the D.C. sewage catchment. Doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia because of the idea that being in the cold is what causes pneumonia.
So doctors began purging Harrison. They induced vomiting and kept him under a ton of morphine and laudanum. The drugs masked the symptoms that might have clued the doctors into typhoid as a cause, while the regimen of vomiting likely resulted in perforated intestines.
So Harrison appeared to get better on day 8 and then died on day 9. The treatment likely killed him, just like Washingtonās bloodletting and Madisonās āletās stick our fingers into the bullet holes and dig around in there.ā Dying of cankles is dignified by comparison.
A few people had questions of some of the states on my map such as NY/CA/IL moving up in risk for trans youth. If a state has moved up in risk, it's because of clinic closures at major clinics. I cannot in good faith keep a state low risk if state laws are not being enforced to keep clinics open.
