The Secretary of Health and Human Services does not know that babies don't grow inside placentas

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

released files will be so redacted as to be completely different files-am I the only person that knows this? redaction of this magnitude, while still making them realistic & apparently in Epstein's handwriting-will take forever-you will get them & there will be NOTHING incriminating

When/if we ever do have a vote in the House on releasing Epstein files, it will get more than 218 votes. Probably many more. That’s because Republican cowards are happy to hide behind Mike Johnson’s obstruction now, but when it comes time to vote many won’t dare vote no.

An up or down vote on extending the ACA subsidies, and I would add a separate up or down vote the same day to release the Epstein files.

ICE Officers need & deserve no protection-the populace must be protected from them-why should the Gov. protect a terrorist group like ICE when he rejected them from coming into his state at all-ICE terrorists are in the state against state sovereignty-STATES MUST ESTABLISH AND USE THEIR OWN MILITIAS

Threatening to arrest the governor of a state is outrageous, even for this president.

We must stand up against this President’s attacks on the rule of law and our Constitution.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

ICE Agents are domestic terrorists-Trump must call them off & we must force him to do so -states MUST establish their own militias & they must be prepared to ignore Trump orders to federalize - states have sovereignty such that a militia to protect themselves from a tyrannical government would stand

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

We need to call for MASS NATURALIZATION of all law-abiding residents! These snatch and grabs by the feds are abhorrent, unconstitutional, and do nothing to address immigration.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 5d

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

HORRIFYING I can't imagine the terror -& in front of kids- traumatizing the kids -this is unacceptable -STATES MUST ESTABLISH THEIR OWN MILITIAS we have no defense against ICE Terrorists otherwise

Email or call your representatives this CAN'T happen in front of schools ever, let alone at dismissal

broekn.bsky.social @broekn.bsky.social · 14h

Noem & this free-for-all with immunity for ICE must be stopped

And, sorry, but the lady they SHOVED TO THE GROUND did not appear to be an illegal alien with a criminal conviction in America - she looked like someone there to get her kids or there for a similar legitimate purpose

MTG your mud wrestling partner is looking for you.

You & BOEBERT are examples of WHY America MUST return to STRONG literacy programs in our schools & WHY 4th grade is NOT enough education for anyone.

Is she advocating for health care? Is she confused as to which side she's on? There's a catch.

Their funding is cut off anyway yes? Trump shut down funding for anything 'leftist,' anything whose content he can't control & anything broadening or educational-that means elimination of museums & zoos-Trump is the worst person alive & he will try to continue ensuring illiteracy in our schools
