He sold vaccine cards and injected kids with saline so they thought they were vaccinated. There are no rules anymore
Important point about the GOP budget also wrecking Medicare.
The GOP plan is to have Democrats bail them out later and fix this, and the baseline position of Democrats should be "we will not vote for any budget that does not guarantee restoration of everything illegally cut by Trump."
Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺
“She means ‘fewer.’”

Because free speech.
The government will decide what work you can do in the name of freedom
Leavitt: "Electricians, plumbers -- we need more of those in our country, and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University. And that's what this administration's position is."
In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Here me out, they stay the Spirit but the spirit in question is the ghost of a lion
How long until we see Disney change its language? I guess at least it didn't comply in advance...🙄
Speaker Mike Johnson on the US credit downgrade: "Moody's is not incorrect, but that emphasizes the very need for the legislation we're talking about -- historic spending cuts."
(Part of Moody's concern is in fact the reconciliation bill, which is projected to add trillions to US debt)

A foreign nation is funneling money directly into Trump's pocket.
U.S. policy should NOT be for sale.

That wasn’t funny. It was scary.
Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."
these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism
