What is my profile picture? Promontory Point, UT, which I was able to visit a few years. Replica trains marking the point where technology brought people together. We got this!

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

The same people who insist that January 6th wasn’t an insurrection are also the ones who are now saying there is an insurrection because a priest is outside a detention center offering prayers, a guy in a frog costume is scary, and a toddler is enough of a threat they should be cuffed.

Scientists analyzed blood cells from people with COVID-19, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s.

Using deep learning, they found shared immune genes like XIST and HLA-DRB5 that may link COVID-19 inflammation to long-term neurodegeneration.

Yup. She mentions how the premiums for her adult children have increased. She did that. Won’t even vote to help her family members so no point thinking she wants to help people in her district.

Maya NH @1mayanh.bsky.social · 1d

Sure. Sure she isn’t towing the party line.

This summer she voted to end the subsidies and she also voted for the continuing budget resolution that also excludes the subsidies. She already gave her approval to the party line and this is just bluster. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with the GOP on Obamacare, calling to avoid premium hikes

Greene said she's "not a fan" of Obamacare but complained that her "own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE" if Congress ignores the issue.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
