Every time ACIP meets, Bill Cassidy (R, Coward City) makes pathetic mewling sounds about how bad the committee is.
It is Bill Cassidy’s fault that ACIP is no longer a legitimate scientific body.
Sir, you are a fucking U.S. Senator. Impeach RFK Jr or STFU.

I don’t understand one thing: clearly Trump is not long for this earth, he’s an older man. Still could live another 10 years but still that’s not long.
Does he really have no concern about facing his creator?
Angry elderly people…. I don’t understand

We also have 11 months for things to get even worse under the Trump regime which I fully expect to happen so things can get EVEN worse for the GOP unless Congressional Republicans try to restrain Trump's worse excesses but that just results in a civil war in the party.

Republicans should be winning districts like this without batting an eye. They had to call in Trump, Fox News, all of it. The beast is bleeding.
If Dems are competitive in a ruby red district in Tennessee and the response is anything but damn this Trump shit is unpopular I don’t know what to tell you

So today a local business leader informed one of our clergy that he wanted them to stop being so political. “You have stuff like ‘respect the dignity of every human being’ up on your website. That’s over the line” he said. I hate this timeline so much.

If 36% still seems ridiculously high, well, it is.
But...
Herbert Hoover won 39.6% of the vote in 1932.
And Trump always says he doesn't want to be Hoover.

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

Note: The court ruled that Texas violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by discriminating on the basis of race when drawing its new Republican gerrymander. So this opinion will not be fatally undermined by the Supreme Court's impending blow to the Voting Rights Act; it has an independent rationale.

They really are going with immaculate asymmetry of tariffs, which didn't raise prices when they were imposed but will cut them when they're withdrawn.
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

One of the most fascinating parts of the Trump presidency: two of the biggest bulwarks against Trump's descent on American cities are largely women willing to photograph and film ICE agents and Catholic priests and bishops willing to accompany migrants to court. You see both in Chicago.
