Having worked on farms and understanding the mindset of American workers... I am trying to wrap my mind around how they plan to make that happen.

Force people on medicaid to move to agriculture camps to do farm work?

I mean... WTF...

1/ A remarkable essay by two eminent Israeli scholars

"We wrote this essay to give [former IDF chief of staff's] words legal backing... We felt compelled to fulfill our human, conscientious, and civic duty, as Israelis – and as Zionists – who have expertise in areas related to the IDF’s ... order."

Trump is going to militarize our elections. ICE will check the new federal identification cards of each voter sent out by federal agencies in each state .The federal government will control all elections from this point going forward.

It may sound far-fetched, but it could happen with Trump.

Here’s something fun I learned this week

If you find yourself in an ER in an abortion ban state and upon intake they discover you’re pregnant, from there on out your care will be different than any non-pregnant person’s. The fetus becomes primary.

Trump commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, saying out loud, on camera, that Social Security recipients should accept missing a month's payment without complaint, and calling them criminals if they did complain, should be an inescapable political disaster.

And maybe already is.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

@maddowblog.msnbc.com Trump not following a Federal Judges order. Get used to it the SCOTUS gave the president, now Trump, a do whatever he wants anytime he wants as long as it's a presidential order so this is what we can expect this, over and over, again. Trump will pardon everyone of them.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Heroic & brilliant writing. The art of the principled resignation letter.
"No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives."
Eric Adams line prosecutor Hagan Scotten, resigning rather than filing "dismissal-with-leverage" motion:

"I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
