Well, the masks weren’t on very tight to begin with, but they’re fully off now. Weak, pathetic, hateful, insecure weirdos.

The decision by Trump's extremist health secretary to restrict COVID vaccines & oust the CDC chief could be a death sentence for vulnerable Americans, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.
It’s. All. Lies.
All the time.

NEW: As of June 28, a full 32% of the people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD — no pending criminal charges or prior conviction. This rate doubled since Stephen Miller's quotas began in May.
This is likely the highest rate of such detention in ICE's history.

Details about a flight of immigrants that landed many days ago? Too secret to reveal.
Details about an imminent military strike? Not classified, not a breach of national security and not a big deal.
Secrets under Trump depend on who asks and who tells.

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.
AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Watching Carter’s funeral. They stuck Obama next to drump next to him, and class act that Obama is, he plays along, even smiling and laughing. Note Michelle not attending; she’s not as good at making nice with people she no like.
Hillary looks annoyed. Bill seems to always be in a good mood!

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.
