More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr.
The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Not only does Trump not name the criminal statutes he claims his political enemies have violated, but apparently not a single journalist is willing to ask him to do so
The simple explanation—I can say as a lawyer who practiced criminal law for years—is that none of these people committed any crime

Preemptive pardons are an imperfect solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in a democracy, the threat a president will corrupt the criminal justice system. Keep focus on Trump & the threat he poses to democracy as this debate continues-that's where it belongs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Preemptive Pardons?
I think the preemptive pardon issue—the idea that President Biden should use pardons for people who have not been charged yet but may be at risk under the Trump Administration—is a very difficult one ...

🔥I would encourage everyone and anyone to get their vaccines if you are due or overdue ASAP. Not only will our access be potentially restricted to receiving them, our insurance plans no matter if it’s private, ACA, Medicare or Medicaid may not pay for them!

25% tariff on all Canadian imports will devastate gas prices. Shown here are all the cross border imports of Canadian oil. Keep in mind that a lot of US oil cannot be directly used/refined in the U.S.— we actually export U.S. “light” crude and instead import “heavy” crude to use in U.S.

What? When people voted for Trump, did they not think they were voting for this? Farm workers, hotels, restaurants, construction....get ready. Your workers will soon be gone. This is what you voted for.

US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation
Mass deportations could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.

EXCELLENT ADVICE. Sign-up FOR healthcare now!
PSA: There may be debate next year over the future of the ACA (aka Obamacare). But, that won’t affect coverage next year for people who sign up now during open enrollment.
