Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over.

Congratulations, America.

Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned

42 years of precedent deferring to agencies

50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights

60 years of affirmative action

And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC

It’s the most radical Court in US history
#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

“This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.”
Paris is transforming its landscape and climate by planting a large number of trees (native species) in the city to lower temperatures and improve rainwater runoff to reduce flooding and improve air quality in the city.

This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.
