"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

5 years ago…

The New England Journal of Medicine has been nonpartisanship for 208 years:

“America’s “current leadership” has not only failed to organize testing and tracing, or to promote “even simple measures” like mask-wearing-it has undermined experts, politicized masks, and made things worse”

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate was like talking to every MAGAt on social media—rude conversations rife with whataboutisms, lies, and never a straight answer.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Hallmarks of totalitarianism. The willful neglect, irresponsibility, and unconscionable harm inexorably leading to the mistreatment and deaths of millions are unique in this case only in that the most horrific crimes are mainly being perpetrated on foreign soil. (So far). The cruelty is the point.

There’s no waiting. There’s no let’s see in 4 years. Every day this continues people are dying horrific, unnecessary deaths and being tortured in concentration camps on American soil. The people fighting back against this with every breath need to be supported and held up and joined by everyone.

And what a lesson for us. We’ve already reached thousands if not hundreds of thousands counting the impact of cuts to usaid, set to reach 14 million by 2030.

175,484 known deaths was from June, and tracking research cut, so it could easily be a million by now.
