Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Reminder that Republicans control the White House, the Senate, AND the House.

If the government shuts down, it’s on them.

2021- Tried to convince an elderly hypoxic COVID patient to stay in the hospital, but he insisted it wasn't real and kept yelling at nurses not to give him "that vaccine".

Asked him who the president was and his response was "You want me to say Biden, but I know who the real president is...".
During the last #Trump administration, I admitted a patient to the #ICU for monitoring after a head concussion. The nurse did her assessment & asked, "Who is the president?" Patient replied, "Putin" and nurse replied, "Yep, Alert and oriented x4".

I can't believe we're here again.

We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

BREAKING NEWS:

Half a dozen U.S. Medical facilities in the Sudan say following Trump’s order to immediately stop their operations will cause up to 100 babies and toddlers die.

So they will defy his order.

If you are a small to med size business, would you rather buy health insurance from the big insurance companies, or from a new Non Profit Healthcare program offered by the biggest Unions ?

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Me: M- Methanol
U- Uremia
D- DKA
P- Paraldehyde
I - Isoniazid
L - Lactic Acidosis
E - Ethylene Glycol
S - Salicylates

me (most annoying toxicologist alive): much like the so-called “gap” junctions between cell membranes, you don’t need to fully understand it to understand that it was critical to my ability to function, and without it my heart would cease to beat
interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume?

Lawyer: “Gap” is herein defined as a space or void of measurable quantity between two elsewhere defined boundaries, whether natural or man-made.

It shouldn't be too much to ask that the next FBI Director be able to pass an FBI background check.

Fundraising and profiting off people who attacked the peaceful transfer of power should be disqualifying. As the very lowest of low baselines.
