Watching the Cubs in the postseason with a glass of Malbec, pretending it’s October 2016 and everything still makes sense….

"does the president know what is real and what is not" is a legitimate question that should probably get asked a lot more

#BREAKING Federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocks the Trump administration from "ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 11h

Perry says the order will say defendants are "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

So grateful for the work of @chrisgeidner.bsky.social and @jonseidel.bsky.social who are posting/giving context on rulings related to Chicago ❤️

There’s now language specifically protecting journalists, protestors, and our clergy 😳 and so glad to see this related to *required* agent identification ⤵️

"It is further ORDERED that all Federal Agents, excepting those who do not wear a uniform or other distinguishing clothing or equipment in the regular performance of their official duties or are engaged in undercover operations in the regular performance of their official duties, must have visible identification (for which a unique recognizable alphanumeric identifier
sequence will suffice) affixed to their uniforms or helmets and prominently displayed, including when wearing riot gear."

I’m not an OB, but I’ve been to a lot of deliveries and I’m sure 100 people have said this already but, our head of HHS doesn’t know where babies come from.

Please add circumcision to the list of things that DO NOT cause autism. That list also includes Vaccines and Tylenol use in pregnancy.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
