Great report by @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social on how health care cuts lead to poor Americans delaying care, and could easily lead to them getting their children taken away because they delayed care.

Holy $hit. There’s already an arrest warrant for Mr Drug Trafficker just pardoned by Trump for an unknown price.

I’ll explain why in my best Honduran slang:

What in the actual hell
I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.

Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

The movie is hilarious on its own, if you've never seen it.

Probably the most famous scene is this back and forth between Groucho and Chico, mapping out a con. Enjoy.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

I just read this bit to my husband, who in his wisdom & discernment said, “These guys are like Smaug.“
A fortune so large it can’t be spent, but they’ll commit any evil to hang onto every last penny and steal more.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
