It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC.
Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social.

While the impacted people are likely just making rational choices in self-preservation, the result of it is a big strain on ICE resources.
It takes 5-6 agents on a stakeout to kidnap one person in the outer boroughs compared to waiting in a lobby to scoop someone up after their court appearance.

ICE activity has increased in Sunset Park, Bushwick, and Corona (non-exhaustive list) and it seems to be because people aren’t attending their court dates — either due to not receiving notice or intentionally skipping because they know people are getting disappeared at 26 Federal Plaza.

if he just ordered their execution (by some agency of the military or by federal law enforcement), would that be an official act to which presumptive if not absolute immunity attaches?
So, just a minor aside from the President of the United States agreeing that his opponents should be executed (imagine if Binden yadda yadda yadda) but he's also retweeting an account using the Iron Cross (of Nazi fame) as its profile picture.

In a previous era, the U.S. president calling for the deaths of his political opponents probably would've warranted interrupting everything else on TV for the day.
CNN and MSNBC are running a livestream of Dick Cheney's funeral. Fox News is focusing on the Dem who allegedly misused FEMA funds.

This is the Democratic “behavior” that Trump says is punishable by death, just in case you haven’t seen it yet.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.
The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
Don’t give up the ship.
