It does not matter if you take the child you use as bait and then kidnap to McDonald’s!!!!!
Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.

He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Moderna's seasonal investigational influenza vaccine, mRNA-1010, has been submitted & accepted for review in EU, Canada & Australia. Kennedy's FDA now officially refuses to review the vaccine. "Refusal to review the submission is inconsistent with feedback at pre-Phase 3 & pre-submission" #medsky ⬇️
NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.

Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactionsβ€”not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

To have one ICE employee arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness.
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Somehow, in the attention to Howard Lutnick's lies about Epstein and his general toadying, attention has drifted away from his buying a house in DC for $25 million. In cash. From ... Brett Baier of Trump state media, aka Fox.

When my dad says this, he always qualifies it with, β€œWhat has he done that’s GOOD for the country? I can’t think of anything that’s good.”

I should do a thread of stuff he says that qualify as β€œif my dad were a shit posterβ€œβ€¦

Magaziner: Mayorkas testified in front of Congress like 30 times. Noem has only been in front of our committee twice, and one of the times, she left because she didn't want to answer questions. It's going to be very different when we are in the majority next year.

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

Our taxpayer dollars should be helping people in our communities afford groceries and health care, not funding terror in our streets. This violence cannot be justified, and it's long past time that Trump reins in ICE and establishes a fair, humane immigration system.

Seems like we may have to open up a big argument about whether Trump is the only president with net job loss in the modern statistical era or the only *two* presidents with net job losses.
so the jobs report flopsweat coming from the WH is at minimum because the annual baseline adjustment is going be brutal.

I would additionally guess that one or both are true:

1) January report very very bad
2) neg baseline adjustment bigger than net job growth for 2025 (almost certain)

Still laughing at this very unserious article.

Musk has literally given every space journalist an opportunity to critically tackle his bullshit, and ask tough questions. Strike while the iron is hot.

But no .... heaven forbid, someone upsets the Emperor.

This reads like Elon Musk's sock puppet.
Why would Elon Musk pivot from Mars to the Moon all of a sudden?
SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon."
