How psychopathic & miserable does a person have to be spending hundreds of billions of dollars to corrupt a political system further to create more economic and health hardships for those who work day to day to have a place to live and eat? They relish the misery of others less fortunate!

Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee.
“It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.”

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom?
The Silence of the Generals
As President Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line at Fort Bragg, the Army’s brass failed to speak out in its defense.

I respectfully disagree. Giving the government a week before it would have to return Ms. Öztürk to Vermont takes away any argument that it would need an “administrative” stay from Justice Sotomayor if it were to seek emergency relief from #SCOTUS.
It’s rather clever on the panel’s part, in my view.

Right. Even when they order the Government to obey the law, federal courts are giving the scofflaws too much time to comply. That normalizes foot-dragging and evasion.
May 14? Why not May 7??? This is not like some 1850s ruling which takes a person riding a horse a week to get to the jail.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

Ford just slapped $2,000 price hikes on three of its most popular cars—thanks to Trump’s tariffs.
The import tax on Mexico-built vehicles is hitting your wallet, while Trump pretends it’s helping workers.
The models taking the hit:
📌 Ford Maverick
📌 Ford Bronco Sport

With numbers like these, a solid Democratic candidate could very well get the job done in Maine next year…
More than two-thirds of Mainers don’t think Sen. Susan Collins deserves to be reelected next year, including most Republicans, according to a survey conducted last week.

I imagine a lot of people are asking themselves what they can do other than spread the word on SM and possibly protest on weekends. One thing we can do is donate to the ACLU. They are doing a huge amount of legal heavy lifting thanks to Trump. #ACLU
