2/2 Think of the Orange 💩 as an angry toddler. Ignore him. Only give attention when he does something good (likely never) but stop paying so damn much attention to him.

Secretary Noem tried to tell me that she hasn’t deported any veterans. I introduced her to one.

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

If your country establishes a Department of War and simultaneously abolishes the Department of Education, it’s evident that you reside in a deplorable country.

This is just nuts. We know that children will likely die or have life-long impacts.
The meeting was tainted with a glaring anti-vaccine bias.

This time, unlike in ACIP’s September meeting, there was no presentation from CDC to provide objective data.

Several said children should not be protected from hepatitis B at all.

Children can get Hepatitis B from their mothers at birth.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

I was a bit slow to pick up on this, but I now get why tRump didn’t send troops to Nashville. Someone told him it would cost them yesterday’s election.

I continue to love NYC.
apparently some giant nerds at the NYC Conflicts of Interest Board designed a dungeon crawl ("Escape from the Dinkins Building") to help reinforce staff education. I demand to know why I have been forced to do online modules instead of a TTRPG 🙄

had a guy tell me he wants automated cars for everyone on the road at all times.

“wouldn’t it be cool if traffic stopped existing because every car could start driving fast at the same time to get you to your destination??”

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
