At what point will our media ask about Trump’s obvious mental decline? He’s so far gone that he does not remember he was president in January 6, 2021

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

The CDC’s epidemic intelligence service which trains the agency’s celebrated disease detectives lost 30 of its staff and 40 EIS officers. This will absolutely cripple our ability to respond to measles, food related outbreaks, and the next COVID.

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

EXCLUSIVE: City nixes property tax break for Trump’s NYC apartment

New York City has nixed a $48,000 tax break President Trump was set to receive on his Trump Tower condo following inquiries from the Daily News about whether he is still eligible for the savings. O…

Here’s the video of that momentous showdown. Incredibly, the gestapo shot it themselves—you know, the way they would film the ghetto for propaganda reels, only funny:

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.

Among many others at the CDC, the Trump regime laid off the staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

“The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.”

“Signed by over 1700 medical professionals”? Anyone was allowed to sign that. No credentials checked whatsoever. And what defines a “medical professional” anyways.

“The president said Friday, in part, "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do.”

Absolutely positively no way that happened.

He and Netanyahu responded to a horrible terror attack by creating one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent memory. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize about as much as he deserves the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work with Tylenol and pregnancy.

Agree with everything except for the "RFK is not an idiot" part. He is. But he is also someone who grew up in politics from the moment of birth. He has a lifetime of training in how to lie and smooth talk and sound convincing to others. This narrative that he is somehow intelligent needs to stop.

Joe Thomas, MD, FHM @docwithbowtie.bsky.social · 2d

#RFKJr again reaching for anything to try and justify his false conclusions. He has no idea what causes #autism but he’s supposed to deliver “the cause” despite cheating through “research.” Anti-vaxxers, I hope you’re happy your hero sold you out for #Tylenol of all things. And now #Circumcison.
