Miles spent his first weeks of life on an IV. Would a parent not want to save their child just to lessen the number of “jabs?” What the hell is he even talking about?
Trump: "Effective today, America will no longer require 72 'jabs' for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases."

Trump is trying to instigate a world war. It’s super clear. For the most vain of reasons too. It’s all about being remembered.

Nooooooope. 😬
Considering the way Trump and co are acting and how those institutions meant to stand in their way are doing nothing to hold them to account, let alone stop them, it's hard to imagine Trump will accept electoral defeat either in 26 or 28...
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

And video games for having animated blood. Remember, the dots over Doom and Mortal Kombat? AI killing kids though. Meh
30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine
“ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, ‘Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode’”

All these unvaccinated children sick and many dying from diseases with vaccines that could stop or reduce death and illness, and they are messing with the schedule.

Still in Puerto Rico but we at least have a flight a few days from now, assuming Trump doesn’t do anymore incredibly stupid things.

Airlines really go out of their way to be difficult. Every mishap and unforeseen event shouldn’t be met with a shrug and surcharge. Y’all, been running this business for a minute. Have a damn plan.

No and most people don’t.
Serious question. Can you date someone with opposing political views as you? This is hard.🥴

We should probably stop letting people bet on world events for the most obvious reasons ever.
A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

White voters have to put in better elected officials rather than leaning into every little resentment poisoning their mind.
GOP Rep. Pat Harrigan: "There are members of Congress that they just cannot trust. And I understand that. We have folks that are Somali first and not America first."

This is a damn good question because they don’t win a lot of cases to begin with.
If Maduro is standing trial, what happens if he’s um found not guilty?

Bro, they bombed a bunch of Abuelas to get two damn people from their bedroom. Is this the military white men of a certain age get so amped up about?

A Senator that doesn’t understand Article 1 seems disqualifying. What do I know though? Just an American Politics professor stuck in the Caribbean.
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

They talk about war like it’s a video game and it drives me nuts.
Trump to Fox & Friends on the raid that captured Maduro: "I mean, I watched it literally l like I was watching a television show. If you would've seen the speed, the violence -- it was an amazing thing."
