Some trumper tried to excuse “quiet, piggy” by “explaining” that T**** was saying “Peggy” and talking to WSJ columnist and Reagan speech writer Peggy Noonan, not a member of the current WH Press Corps. Jesus the stupidity burns.

I’m a member of the SCOTUS Bar and it literally took this Marvel analogy for me to understand what Justice Jackson did—and it’s strategically brilliant (her stay kept it off of the full Shadow Docket as well)

Your health care is not a bargaining chip.
Your medication is not a hostage.
Your life is not a negotiation tactic in a power stunt.
If a politician is willing to make you suffer to win — that’s not governing.
That’s cruelty.

Just so you know, I have a friend who worked in the Regan Administration (don't judge). He was subpoenaed by Congress in connection with Iran-Contra. He knew nothing and had done nothing. It still cost him $1Million in legal fees -- in 1980's dollars.
