CNN dredged of a clip of Tom Cotton going on TV in 2018 and lying about Trump describing countries with Brown and black people as "shit holes," even though he was *in the meeting* when Trump made that comment, which he now admits he made

As David Hume says, the linkage of wealth to moral and social superiority is a perversion of reason with no basis in fact. Lutnick himself is proof that you can be an idiot, a moral midget, and very wealthy. Indeed, this is a Wall Street commonplace.
Lutnick: "We should be bringing in the best and brightest, and that's what Donald Trump is changing about our immigration system. Let's expedite the best and brightest who are gonna give a million dollars to the US to prove they're at the top of the list."

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump has decided to raid the federal treasury for the benefit of his faithful Jan 6 MAGA rioters. An unprecedented scheme, likely to be implemented through collusive litigation.

Between Medicaid cuts and physician burnout we are heading towards a collapse of primary care in the U.S., along with a mass exodus from public health and science.

And I don't blame doctors. They didn't get into medicine to spend their hours refuting crackpot Facebook theories.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

This is still VERY illegal. The Trump admin says anyone who pays $1 million will be deemed to have "exceptional business ability" and become eligible for an employment-based immigrant visa.

But there's nothing stopping someone from just getting a loan or using parents' money.
