Trump Nigerian air strikes don't line up with his claims.

Trying something and wait and see is not really a good approach to public health.
I’m leaning toward maybe we don’t let idiots decide who runs the countries healthcare and research.

The "law" is what the people with guns say it is.
Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The ICC's arrest of former Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte for the killing of drug traffickers by government officials as a crime against humanity may provide precedent for future prosecutions of U.S. officials who ordered airstrikes on alleged drugboats in the Caribbean, writes Charlie Trumbull.
The Administration’s Drug Boat Strikes Are Crimes Against Humanity
Members of Congress are wrong to call the strikes war crimes in the absence of an armed conflict, but the strikes are serious crimes under international law.

Trump’s Rob Reiner comment was low even for him, but it’s the week of Epstein Files release and Affordable Care deadline, so look for more stupid Trump stuff to distract you from that.

Epstein. Health care. Eye on the ball.
