trump yesterday: war is “very complete, pretty much”
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Mr. Mystal nails it yet again.
Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Justice: shows UK police arresting Prince Andrew. Just ICE: shows ICE with a zip-tied child.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
How many ways can they enrich themselves off of our suffering and deaths?

I’ve cared for young women dying of cervical cancer. It’s devastating and largely preventable now with the HPV vaccine.
When a vaccine prevents cancer, the question isn’t whether to re-examine it, it’s why would we hesitate?
