Erin is absolutely correct. Vance is absolutely stupid. Turkey is delicious when properly cooked. The same with steak, rice, mashed potatoes, all food. I do miss making my apple bourbon turkey (and the resulting gravy) every year, but being sober is so worth it.
Turkey is fucking delicious and if you don’t like turkey because think turkey is dry then you’re just bad at cooking turkey.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

American Christian values. If Christ is real and returned, ICE goons would hand him back to the Romans — if Rome were Old Rome — to re-crucify his ass. Second time the charm?
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

It's horrendous that I didn't know about this ugly chapter in our nation's history until just a few years ago. U.S. history brims with stories good, bad, and ugly, and they all must be taught. If we don't have full knowledge of where we've been, we'll never gain perspective on where we are headed.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

The "scientific orthodoxy" bit is a softball for sure, but the point still stands: RFK Jr. believes in his own bullshit, not science.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.
