The Trump Administration's choice to end their "Shield for the Americas" summit with the Monty Python Flying Circus theme march is inspired. I take back everything bad I ever said about the regime

(That ~2 second dropped signal is, I assume, some AV guy cackling as he zooms in on Kristi Noem)

Would love this... but we are not a signatory/member state to the ICC.

But as we have plenty of material for our own special Nuremberg iteration, I am SO hoping I get to witness Trials for every corrupt member of this lawbreaking 🤡 regime.

If anyone else could use a lil pick-me-up, please enjoy... 😊😆🫠

Is he trying to riff off Apocalypse Now or something?

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then this guy, confirmed by 50 GOP Senators, has lost his mind & is claiming “maximum authorities” he & the president absolutely do not have.

Is he (and the other orange one) hoping this will making others as dumb and brain-damaged as they are?

*apparently we're just gonna ignore the fact that these are the same dottards killing kids bc of their bs concern about thimerosol.

Whatever could Thomas Massie be worried about? Oh, right.

Ohhhhhhhh. Yeah that makes a lot more sense, @stephruhle.bsky.social

Almost?

To be fair, Kristi Noem had to fly from one location to another without her blankie

So really, samesies

Drivers are visibly pissed off that they actually have to *checks notes* comply with laws and signage.

How many kids are hurt BY cars?

Cars regularly roll through stop signs in our residential, pedestrian-heavy neighborhood... while im crossing a crosswalk with my toddler.

Shockingly, the toddler usually freaks out and freezes bc the car is scaring him (as much as it enrages me)

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

More fodder for The Trials:

Misuse of congressionally approved funding for life-saving Humanitarian Aid (with countless riders, restrictions on appropriate uses, and other obligations...) to protect a man who revels in traumatizing American workers.

Not afraid of germs: not a great qualification for *checks notes* someone who will affect the health of every American.

Snorts/inhales illegal 💩 from toilet seats: just. Ew.

Shouldn't BOTH of these assertions be disqualifying for @hhsofficial.bsky.social (and honestly, and Cabinet position)??

DOGE, aka the “Department of Gutting Elections,” is not above the law. We’ll continue proving it in court.

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

Any parent who has faced breastmilk/formula challenges has felt visceral fear about keeping their kid alive.

I cant wait for The Trials for this "pro-family", pro-pdf regime.

IRS improperly disclosed confidential immigrant tax data to DHS The tax agency only recently discovered it improperly disclosed tax information on thousands of the wrong people to immigration enforcement.

Expert insight: U.S. withdrawal from WHO could affect global health - Western News History professor Mitchell L. Hammond explains how the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization could affect global health and disease threats.

HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025

🧸Most were children
⌛️ Many died within the first year

😰 Preventable deaths were mainly from:
- HIV, TB, malaria
- Maternal & fetal deaths
- Malnutrition

Trying to make being uninsured appear less expensive... for things that would/should be covered by insurance (that is now far more expensive, or unaffordable for many).

Would be nice if this grift was just a little less on-brand.

I love this for Elon.

"Even assuming, consistent with the approach taken by certain other circuits, that depositions of high-ranking government officials should be restricted absent extraordinary circumstances regardless of whether they seek testimony on mental processes, the Court still finds that the protective order is not warranted . At the outset, it is at best unclear whether Musk, Marocco, and Lewin are properly deemed to be high -ranking government officials for purposes of this doctrine. Notably, in cases in which courts have barred depositions of cabinet secretaries, depositions of senior , Senate-confirmed subcabinet officials have been permitted to proceed. ...Here, USAID was not a cabinet -level agency, none of the designated officials were the head of that agency, and several were operating in an informal or acting role at the time of the relevant events."

Elon Musk and others LOSE their bid to duck depositions in DOGE litigation.

Judge doubts protections for "high-ranking government officials" for multiple reasons. It's unclear they ever had that status, and Musk "left government service."

Long COVID affects millions of children. The largest pediatric trial so far launches this year. There’s still a ways to go before doctors and scientists fully understand pediatric long COVID, but three upcoming clinical trials are on the horizon.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

These self-interested sociopaths and their ♾️ capacity for 🐂💩 never ceases to amaze me.

Cannot wait for the Trials... (wish these "law and order" cosplayers would actually ascribe to following orderly laws and such.)

If only root canals could actually offset the other (+ all associated evils).
