This strikes me as kind of a big deal 😱
The Acting Solicitor General has notified Congress of DOJ's intent to ask #SCOTUS to overrule Humphrey's Executor—a major 1935 ruling upholding the independence of agencies like the FCC, FTC, NLRB, etc.

I’m up at 4am, tuned in to @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, & I have to hear @jonlemire.bsky.social refer to the “Democrat Party”, not once but twice! WTH?

God help me, I’m reposting Bill Kristol. Desperate times…
"President Biden made a mistake. But the problem with Donald Trump and his appointees isn’t that they’ll make mistakes." One thing can be bad, and another thing can be much worse.

@timmiller.bsky.social please read this. It’s not about dissing the “wellness” community, it’s about putting a dangerous man whose lunatic ideas have led to people’s deaths in charge of health policy in this nation.
"We shouldn’t be surprised by people like Jared Polis complying in advance. But we should also be very clear: anyone who suggests that RFK Jr. running HHS is anything but a monumental, catastrophic disaster is a liar, a fool, or quite possibly both."
RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat
Dems like Jared Polis shouldn't pretend pretend otherwise.
