Here are some excerpts from the executive orders. https://bsky.app/profile/oeishik.bsky.social/post/3lo4cuxx73s25

Anna, please check out Donald's two executive orders from April 28th. They are police state EOs. I have been trying to raise the alarm. This video summarizes the orders & explains what it means & the references in the description box have the links. Please help spread the word. https://youtu.be/lcbyZATsmGk

Also by all rights this is front page stuff

louisevans.bsky.social•24 days ago

Like the new president of the US declared a brand new executive department with the power to order around every other department but no organizing legislation or Senate confirmation. It’s immediately embroiled in infinity scandals. The pres says it has one leader in SOTU and another in court.

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

I present to you the least significant scandal of Trump II:

The National Park Service is lying about the copy of the Declaration of Independence that currently sits in the Oval Office.

On its website, the NPS identifies it as one of the 200 Stone engravings of the Declaration printed in 1823. /1

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

Karoline Leavitt said the copy of the Declaration was delivered by the National Archives.

The National Archives does not own an 1823 Stone engraving. It has an 1823 Stone engraving on loan from a philanthropist, but it does not own that copy. /2

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Archives does own Stone’s original copperplate engraving that was used to make the prints, but the imprint line of the copperplate was modified between the original printing in 1823 and the second run printed in 1833.

Ironically, this is discussed on the very same page on the NPS’s website. /3

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Archives has some post-1833 copies, but they are contain in bound books as inserts and thus cannot be the framed copy in the Oval.

The only other later copies we know the Archives owns are 7-8 facsimiles created using the Stone copperplate for the bicentennial in 1976. /4

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

If you compare the image from the Archives of the loaned 1823 Stone engraving and the copy in the Oval, they cannot be the same document. The latter is way too clean. /5

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•24 days ago

Moreover, the copy in the Oval has the modified imprint that marks it as a later copy. Therefore, it is almost certainly from the 1976 bicentennial printing, which explains why it is so clean. /6

Stephanie Haridopolos—a clone of the Surgeon General nominee whose story I broke, and Trump pulled—owns a FL lobbying firm with healthcare clients, is married to a freshman Member, lied about her background, too, and is now the SG's Acting Chief of Staff: https://lastcampaign.substack.com/p/another-american-university-of-the

anthonyclark.bsky.social•24 days ago

Even though CBS News plagiarized my first scoop in this series, the fact that Trump's nominee for surgeon general lied for years about every relevant aspect of her qualifications is getting relatively little attention—and her confirmation hearing is on Thursday:
1/3
https://open.substack.com/pub/lastcampaign/p/trumps-surgeon-general-pick-distorted

Wait, both the (now former) National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and the nominee for Surgeon General are related to former Creed lead singer Scott Stapp?!?

anthonyclark.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yes. Each is married to one of the nominee's sisters.

Well, one of them is, and the other is—technically—for now.

anthonyclark.bsky.social•24 days ago

By statute (42 U.S.C. § 205(a)), it's a four-year term; Vivek Murthy's term ended in January, and Deputy Surgeon General Rear Admiral Denise Hinton became the acting until the Senate confirms a permanent SG.

jonnaknows.bsky.social•24 days ago

Interesting. By which mostly I mean terrifying obviously. But FWIW I was at Guy’s, (Kings) and St Thomas’ medical school when she would have been there. Don’t remember her or anyone from AUC, but it was a massive place.

You can't work for Trump unless you are a criminal, a racist, a religious nut, a grifter, an idiot, or a pathological liar.

Extra points if you fit two or more criteria.

stephaniefbrown.bsky.social•23 days ago

The bar is so low with this administration that my initial thought was “at least she has a medical degree.” When the HHS secretary is an utterly unqualified candidate, anything looks better.

I'm sure that's a problem, one that will only get worse.

Of course she lied, how else are you going to get whack-jobs in influential positions so they can lie to and harm the public. Trump has a great amount of disdain for the American people.

That seems to have played a role. Whether he saw her before or after he named her sister as Homeland Security Advisor during his first term is unclear.`
