Loper Bright the shit out of this thing. (By which I mean argue that as the Supreme Court held in Loper Bright v. Raimondo agencies do not get judicial deference when interpreting statutory text, much less text as clear as this. Shit is illegal.)

Predict that he will eventually do it. He's an idiot with poor impulse control, and he's highly malleable. He's surrounded by stupid hawks who don't understand consequences. His regime has a hyper inflated opinion of itself and the USA. And, Donny desperately wants to be a big boy.

This is the irresponsible use of MY DATA that we should all fear. There is still no accounting of what data was handled by who, where it is housed, if it safe or if it’s been exfiltrated from the government’s perimeter. I did not give permission for MY DATA to be used in this manner.

@bestese34.bsky.social Terry Moran was fired for calling Stephen Miller “bile” but… Sen. Mike Lee can make a joke about killing a MN speaker and remain in office. Mike Johnson can call for the “tar and feathering” of the California Governor and remain Speaker. Do I have this right?

It’s still beyond horrifying to me that this dangerous crank is actually in charge of the Dept. of Health and Human Services. But then, I feel the same about all of Trump’s nominees. If you wanted to destroy a nation, these are the kinds of whacked out crackpots you would select. So.
