I don't think there's any better example of leopards eating faces than the Lebanese immigrant who opened a Trump-themed burger restaurant and then got arrested by ICE.

What the actual fuck? I live in Portland and this is obviously just a bunch random lies from his plaque-riddled brain. We’re fine here. Nothing is on fire. Nothing is burning. There are plenty of stores, and none are built of plywood.

WaPo is wrapping this all up in fancy language and downplaying how unqualified she is but she is a quack who quit her residency and has never actually practiced medicine. She isn’t just a departure from “traditional medical expertise” - she has no medical expertise whatsoever.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Her confirmation — which is expected in the coming months — would further solidify the power and influence of Kennedy and the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, medical experts said, pushing aside traditional medical expertise.

She left the medical mainstream and rose to be RFK Jr.’s surgeon general pick

Casey Means, the surgeon general nominee, has criticized the medical establishment. She could be put in position to change it.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

"suspend habeas corpus"
"suspend who?"

this should pretty much be the end of this presidency but unfortunately we no longer have a functioning journalism

this is king (derogatory) behavior, ruling without rules, doddering and ignorant, and the new state of captured media just sits there, dictating
