Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

“The president demolished the White House.”
“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”
“The president is why life is more expensive today.”
“The president was besties with Epstein.”
Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

Tuesday 10/14 COTD is Justice. Our guides are calling for us to get serious with some executive decisions today. The sword suit is about intellect, when Justice comes up in a reading we have to remove our emotions while making decisions.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

The callous disregard this administration has for public health is stunning. MMWR was down for a few weeks in January, and I was relieved to see it back online. But not at all surprised to see it shut down again, presumably on the thesis that what we don't know can't hurt them.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.
$22,000.
That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.
