"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Pete, we need you to run for president.
As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Now listen, I know everyone who follows me and @standupforscience.bsky.social hasn’t signed to endorse the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. yet.
So, go do that: standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr
It helps us amp up attention on this as Congress comes back from holiday.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.
Performative public investigations matter

Right now, the administration is simultaneously claiming this is a law-enforcement arrest (minimal scope) and announcing we’ll “run the country” (open-ended commitment). No one with political skin in the game (cliche!) is required to explain that contradiction. open.substack.com/pub/johnfdic...
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social frames it so clearly. As always.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.
Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.
However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.
