All you've got to to get a presidential pardon right now is sell your soul.
Not really — cash or crypto — or maybe a crown 👑 — should work. Or maybe a loyalty pledge. Or a fake elector scheme and willingness to perjure yourself.
You can also take up arms when he says so. 🙁
No guarantees you […]

Once again, ACIP has just voted to postpone all votes on the birth dose of the HBV vaccine, because once again, they are too incompetent to even propose a vote properly.

Unfortunate — "The South Rim’s hotels are closing due to water supply issues." I prefer camping, but the fireplace and views from public areas at El Tovar are pretty amazing.

Speaking truth in hostile territory: Jessica Tarlov on Fox News:
Shifting the blame onto Admiral Bradley doesn’t change the facts. It’s a crime to kill the shipwrecked.
And Trump’s “tough on drugs” shtick is a joke. He pardoned the former Honduran president—the same guy his own administration prosecuted and who got 45 years.
