Congrats to Hall of Famer Jeff Kent, who was on Survivor in 2012 and said this after he was kicked off. It should be noted that the top marginal tax rate in 2012 was 35%, unchanged from the last 6 years of the Bush era. Which makes you wonder whether maybe the tax rate was not his beef with Obama.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.
Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?
It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?

I want to stress here that Tracy Beth Høeg, new head of CDER—seen here being promoted by Children’s Health Defense, the anti-vax group Robert Kennedy Jr. founded—has zero expertise in vaccines.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.
