NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

From me for @rollingstone.com:

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

How are we making America Heathy again? Oh yeah, just like all the other incompetent junk drawer members- RFK Jr is a lying grifter.
Former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden nailed it: “The only winner here is the tobacco industry and cancer cells.”

Cutting smoking prevention programs is a gift to Big Tobacco.

Thanks for Making America Healthy Again, Bobby! 🙄

HHS gutted programs to help people quit smoking. The impact could be deadly.
Cuts to the CDC and the FDA, experts say, could reverse hugely successful campaigns to reduce cigarette smoking rates and curb teen vaping.

Elon’s coming for the Peace Corps, an American initiative he will never understand. Unlike Elon, PCVs are welcome in South Africa.

PC Volunteers live on small stipends and a tiny support staff. The budget is $400m, the same amount of money Elon wanted the State Dept to spend on “armored” Teslas.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on.

That is part of the crisis we face.

I love @kylec.bsky.social

There's 2 interpretations here:

1. Shitstain is talking about himself & his immunity.

2. Shitstain is speaking to others to "save" the country (aka swear fealty to him) in exchange for blanket pardons, exonerations, etc.
As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer?

She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Friday SCOOP: @vox.com has learned that USFWS has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants.

This is far beyond the scope of USAID-funded work and will inevitably harm wildlife internationally and in the US.

@benjij.bsky.social has the story: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...
Leaked emails show the nation’s leading wildlife agency has halted critical funding for conservation
Exclusive: The US Fish and Wildlife Service has frozen millions of dollars, imperiling animals abroad.

Trump is now considering paving over Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden with cement to make it look more like Mar-a-Lago.

A White House official said it is “necessary” because it will “restore” the “glory” of the White House.
Trump Considers Paving Grass at White House Rose Garden to Match Mar-a-Lago
The president has been discussing plans to rip up the grass in one of the White House’s most iconic locations and put in a hard surface to serve as a patio like the one at his Florida home and club.
