the deployment of mRNA vaccine technology was a monumental leap in medical advancement and the crowning achievement of Donald Trump's first presidency but now his administration is scuttling it because their political coalition exists in opposition to the concept of expertise
So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.
Cool.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

To have one ICE employee arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness.
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Admission to a capricious abuse of power based on petty grievance—a power usurped from Congress.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

this is one of the big problems with a too-online campaign - they were utterly convinced they'd memed their way to victory rather than riding the global anti-incumbent backlash wave (where they did worse than most)
people the world over just wanted to throw the bums out, that's all it really was

I really think when Trump won by larger than expected margins (though still small), many conservatives truly believed they had finally won a cultural soft power victory and burned a lot of the actual political capital they had on trying to seem inevitable, and now more people hate them every day.
Chris Rufo doesn't have a career outside of being a "culture warrior." This is his movement. He made his bed. Now he gets to lie in it.
