The film and stills of the most recent Oval Office appearance with the “Trump was right about everything” hat was very unusual. No tie, open collar. Sat behind the desk. It’s not a stretch to speculate ill health.

They are never going to be a hundred percent honest about the health of the President of the United States, no matter who it is. If they admit to more than a cold or the flu, they're running something up the pole to buy time.

I heard speculation that ABC settled with Trump before the inauguration to prevent a challenge to NYT v. Sullivan that SCOTUS would take up. If this shitbird little weasel is granted cert on such an obviously bogus case it'll remove all doubt that the Roberts Court is a partisan activist SCOTUS.

To put it more simply: Historically, authoritarian takeovers often coincide with a rejection of scientific and factual reality. This isn’t accidental. It’s a strategic dismantling of shared reality, which destabilizes democratic institutions and makes populations easier to manipulate.

Soon-to-be erstwhile Ernst. Whatever good she may have done in her professional life will always be overshadowed by her confirmation votes for Secretaries Hegseth and RFK Jr. as well as folding on the BBB that kicked people off Medicare. I wonder what tariff-impacted Iowa farmers are going to say.

It is not just that these employees are risking being put on leave or even fired for standing up for science (see EPA/FEMA officials), they are standing in front of a workplace that was the subject of a terrorist attack a couple of weeks ago, by a man who believes what their boss believes.

This really begs a question for the Stephen Miller types. Say you deport all the foreign-born laborers and nursing students, etc, in the name of employment opportunities for citizens. Do these vacancies magically fill immediately? Are there fat lazy white people rushing to fill the void? Seriously.

The state decided it wants to crush just one guy who *didn't do anything wrong*. They picked Kilmar Abrego Garcia because they thought he'd be an unsympathetic target for their abuses. They put in little effort and it turns out he wasn't, that made them look bad, and they're taking it out on him.

Judge Xinis specifically ordered the government (including ICE) not to take Abrego Garcia into custody. This is a violation of that order. (She also required 72 hours' notice of any third-country removal, excluding weekends and holidays, but it may be that the intend to detain him until Wednesday.)
