The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.
When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.
For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

It is utterly fucking bonkers that the VP of the United States held a press conference on the soil of another country, declared his intent to take over that country, and implicitly threatened military force if that country didn’t comply.
JD Vance: "The president has said clearly he doesn't think that military force is going to be necessary, but he absolutely believes that Greenland is an important part of the security not just of the US but of the world and of course the people of Greenland too ... this has to happen."

Here's a simple test of the seriousness of the Republican national security massive incompetence:
If this were a campaign, and a campaign manager invited a journalist into a high-level strategy text chat, every Republican would fire their campaign manager immediately.
But Sec of Defense?

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Gets at the heart of the thing: responding to insecurity by convincing themselves they know better.
its mildly funny that the natural health anti-vaccine freedom folks think covid was overblown and refused to be "scared" into complying with mask guidelines and such but trade in newsletters like
