OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.
This is the most real life Bluesky exchange ever.

Leavitt: "Not a single order this president or administration has given to our military has ever been illegal, nor will it ever be. This administration respects and abides by the law."

Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

The primary reason Rs have not coalesced around an ACA replacement, in 15 years, is that cannot agree on one. The only reason they even talk about a replacement is that repeal and replace polled a lot better than straight repeal.
‘Obamacare-lite’? Republicans revolt against Trump’s secret health care plan www.ms.now/news/trump-a...
Trump wanted to extend Obamacare health care subsidies. Some congressional Republicans are upset.
It looks like the president may have to go back and tinker with his plan.

This is a transparent attempt to reinforce Vance's each global power gets its own region to molest as it pleases plan. The fact that RU lacks the present ability to lend useful aid is irrelevant. RU can pretend to trade Venezuela for Ukraine.
🇻🇪🇷🇺 According to Kremlin sources, Vladimir Putin has officially declared Venezuela a strategic partner of Russia, pledging comprehensive political, economic, and military support to defend the country against any external threats amid escalating tensions with the United States.

The answer, as has been the case from the start, is to give Ukraine anti-missle and ant-air weapons and make RU take what it doesn't have with soldiers (of which it is running low).

It’s amazing that you have a political party that’s pretty explicitly pro-political violence, meanwhile you still have beltway media continuously speaking about political violence on “both sides”
Lisa McClain refuses to unequivocally condemn threats of violence against Democratic members of Congress who Trump said should be put to death, and says, "there are consequences. You can have freedom of speech, but freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences."

Also, he's not the most powerful man *in* science. He has, quite deliberately, eschewed the scientific method. While he temporarily enjoys some power, he's not all that powerful. If the CDC and John Hopkins order conflicting directives, doctors will follow the latter.

This is not surprising. When you have to choose between protecting your members or protecting the President, there's only so many times you can pick the latter.
