Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

This outcome out of Rensselaer County, New York highlights how re-checking by hand can help bolster confidence in election results and is well worth the effort to get right before certification:

It’s wild that earlier this year Trump said kids only get two dolls now and they’ll cost more and nobody else seems to remember it or think it should he part of this affordability stuff.

I hope every lawyer contemplating any action over the mismanagement of COVID / SARS-CoV-2 is very familiar with the 2006 Recommendations of the Commission investigating the mismanagement of SARS-CoV-1.

Because "how we could have stopped COVID" is all there.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I don’t know if you recall experts saying DNA viruses don’t mutate very often…

It is mutating and there are two things that encourage this.

Replication opportunities.

Exposure to hosts, especially new hosts, and immunocompromised hosts.

If everyone wore n95 respirators at conventions, there'd be basically no such thing as "con crud".

Given that the Russians quite literally drafted our capitulation plan for Ukraine one has to wonder about whether there wasn’t at least a bit of cutting and pasting here.
"The Kremlin on Sunday welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump's new national security strategy and said it largely accorded with Russia's own perceptions, the first time that Moscow has so fulsomely praised such a document from its former Cold War foe."

A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to “call ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish.

Playing the "Good/bad migrant line helps spread further division and racism.

As @migrantvoice.bsky.social points out in this piece "People do not check what job someone has, or how they arrived, before attacking them".

Labour knows this and just carries on.
