excellent point, and also unbelievable that judges start getting threats immediately after being assigned a Trump case.

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 7h

As Perry questions Hamilton about whether DOJ believes that threats against federal agents is enough to warrant the deployment of the National Guard, she says she started getting threats about 10 minutes after she was assigned to this case.

you must do what the mad king commands, is kind of a nuts argument.

Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · 7h

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that
"literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument?
Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

on his false point about undocumented getting services

Don't let the GOP's lies fool you: undocumented immigrants can't get Medicaid, Medicare or Obamacare. The only way in which the federal govt might pay for their healthcare is through ERs, which are required to give emergency care to all people. Medicaid reimburses hospitals for uninsured ER care, but it's a tiny share of spending.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
