Folks, if you are Big Mad about Platner’s racist, sexist nonsense… but want a younger candidate than Mills… congratulations! Jordan Wood is right in front of you. 🎉 Progressive, not in Schumer’s pocket, and seems to have zero Nazi tattoos. You’re welcome.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

The issue is that the birthday book is from 2003 and as a society we were not informed about the dangers of taking notes on criminal conspiracies until that episode of The Wire aired in 2004.

My heart. Members of the US Public Health Service (the uniformed service branch no one has ever heard of, who serve at the CDC and elsewhere in the US), massed within the CDC property, saluting their departing uniformed leaders who were escorted out by security today after resigning on principle.
A higher resolution pic than my screenshot that captured the salute, from Alyssa Pointer (Reuters) – press weren’t allowed past the front gate for security reasons.

If folks in NM need help finding a PCP to establish care so they can discuss a COVID vaccine script, call NMDOH (833-796-8773). Depending on where you are in the state, we can usually get people in within 2-3 weeks. We can help find specialists too.

Of all the many many ways I imagined Trump would ruin this country, I have to admit “sealing us off from outside mail” wasn’t in the mix.
The de minimis exemption, which allowed imported packages worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. without facing any duties, will end for all countries on August 29.

at last we have an answer as to the question of whether a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to secure a felony assault indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

due to funding cuts, foodnet is no longer requiring state-level monitoring for campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersinia. the 10 foodnet states can still do that, but they’ll need funding to replace CDC’s
A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago.
As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Brush up on your safe storage and handling of poultry rules.
Don't rinse your poultry in the sink. Don't let anything come in contact with anything that has come in contact with raw poultry. WASH YOUR HANDS. Get an instant read thermometer and temp your poultry in the thickest part to 165F.
