„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The "peace" charade is not worth spending time on. It will all fall apart very soon. Russia has no interest in peace. The Russian regime needs war to motivate its own existence. What is clear, as it has been since the break-up of the USSR, is that The West is impotent in dealing with Russia.

Remember the ICE agent who shot a lady in Chicago? Because she had rammed her vehicles into an ICE agent and boxed them in?
“I fired 5 shots and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys,” he texted his pals.
Turns out, that was all a lie. Charges dropped. Woman still shot.

Meeting doesn’t matter. Ukraine won’t agree to surrender; even IF it were to agree (hypothetically), RU wouldn’t (as Putin mentioned yesterday), point here is for Trump to use the moment to either abandon Ukraine aid (best case scenario) or start selling aid to Russia straight or via Saudi Arabia

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
