Well, I suppose that’s one way to cull the population🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added.

Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.🤦‍♂️

It is now nearly 4:30 AM CST. I woke up to the announcer saying that the FBI and local law enforcement were "working together" in the Nancy Guthrie case, and the FBI would announce the search results later today.

How much you wanna bet that Kash 'the Stash' Patel will make that announcement?

Kristi Noem fired a pilot who missed transferring her blanket onto a connecting plane. In a fit of pique, she fired the pilot and then had to RE-HIRE him to fly her home on her new private jet.
She's a hot mess. Then she gave her boyfriend a badge; he wanted a gun.

You may have read about a wacky plan, worked out between Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Putin's staff, whereby they propose to invest $12 trillion (yes, that's trillion with a 't') in the U.S. This is absurd because Russia is broke and its GDP is only $2 trillion. Enough nonsense.

1/2) Do the Democrats have a plan for this November’s elections? In case:

- Trump’s DOJ tries to seize ballots in swing states
- Trump commands National Guard to seize voting machines
- ICE agents position themselves at the polls to intimidate voters

It gets extreme. Please read 2/2 below:

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

This happened in January LAST YEAR! It's crazy that her dad hasn't faced charges over a year later!
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

The DOJ's seizure was unlawful because it did not show probable cause, the key basis for such a warrant. It is, therefore, likely invalid and should be adjudicated as such.
This is major news. How could a judge sign this?

Recently, we've read so much about ICE's attempts to build large-scale "detention camps" (prisons). It intends to contract private companies to run most of these facilities.

The Dems will need, for 2028, to acknowledge they need to raise taxes on the rich to pay for the shortfall caused by the prior tax plan.
There is no way around this. Social service cuts are not possible, and we will need to restore medical (single payer?) benefits taken away by the so-called BBB.
