Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Get RFK Jr. under oath and question him relentlessly.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law.

ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad.

They must be held accountable.

I agree, we must use the courts to protect our rights
We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

#NoRussellVought for OMB!!!
The final piece of this plan is the appointment of Russell Vought for OMB (Office of Management and Budget) Director. Vought is the architect of Project 2025 and this position would allow him to disregard Congress' will regarding the spending of our nation's money.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

Whenever the US appears in SCOTUS, the Executive Branch will face a conflict of interest — so long as the Chief Executive is seeking special personal treatment in appealing his 34 state felony convictions. In that legally weak appeal, Trump will be spending down political capital that belongs to us.

Just to review bidding, Cannon's injunction is completely lawless at this point.She said it would last until three days after the 11 circuit rule, which it did today. What is the possible legal justification for keeping it in play after the 11th circuit has ruled? Also, no business reaching vol. 1.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

As @Steve_Vladeck writes, there is no lawful basis for SCOTUS to halt Trump’s NY sentencing. Any appeal must wait final judgment. Let’s see if the Court is up to the job they swore to do.

11 days before his inauguration, President-Elect Trump's emergency request that the Supreme Court block his sentencing in the New York hush money case presents an early litmus test for the justices

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024.

This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you.

Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Regardless of what the courts do in Trump’s case, history will always remember him as a felon. My new note for @Cafe.dot.com. cafe.com/notes-from-c...
Note from Barb: Only One President is a Felon
Donald Trump will be our nation’s 45th and 47th president. But that’s not the only unusual feature about Trump. He is also the only president with a mug shot.

I’ve always found it funny that English has a specific word for throwing someone out of a window (defenestration).

What would be funnier is if Russian doesn’t.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold.
A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot.
"You give that man shit," she says.
Then walks away.
That's Canada.
