"The HHS document says that another paper it cites found 'an increase in placental blood clotting in pregnant mothers who took the vaccine.'

But the paper doesn't contain any reference to placental blood clots or to pregnant women."

It is easy to forget that when Paul Weiss and the other law firms that capitulated to Trump cut their deals they thought they would be viewed as savvy dealmakers. Now they look like craven fools and gutless cowards.

Dan Bongino has a nice cry on Fox & Friends: "I gave up everything for this. I mean, my wife is struggling... I stare at these 4 walls all day in DC, you know, by myself, divorced from my wife. Not divorced, but I mean, separated. And it's hard."

If the Dems had any balls, they’d sue Fox like Trump is suing 60 Minutes over the editing of the Harris interview. Somehow, everyone forgot that Fox edited out Trump saying he might keep Epstein files sealed. And why don’t journos ask Trump what the difference is.

Excellent thread from @bbkogan.bsky.social breaking down the stakes of OMB's decision to break the law which requires the agency to post key federal spending decisions online. Read the full thread below ⬇️
Huge new illegal action from OMB in pursuit of carrying out Project 2025. Sounds boring but super important.

OMB has illegally stopped sharing info whose entire purpose is to help ensure they follow budget laws.

They're breaking a reporting law to facilitate breaking spending laws.
