I really need the rest of NATO to do something to us about this. Because this is crazy behavior and someone needs to check the United States, since all internal efforts to control Trump have failed.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Not “he didn’t blow someone”
Not “he didn’t blow someone named Bubba”
Not “Putin doesn’t have pictures of it”
Just “the Bubba he blew wasn’t Bill Clinton”
Somehow I don’t think the MAGA base will excuse him because of that distinction.

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.
