My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp.
As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Even the xenophobic "we want the right kind of immigrants" stuff is quaint now. Now we're doing things like detaining Germans and Canadians over minor visa issues.

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it:
“Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

In case you ever wonder why Donald had to pay someone to take the SAT for him . . .
Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When children don’t get vaccinated, the threat of polio doesn’t end at childhood.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd POTUS, was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, better known as polio, at the age of 39.
FDR remained paralyzed from the waist down and relied on a wheelchair and leg braces for mobility.
