you know shit's bad when kathy's cursing

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Thinking, CPR must hurt. But heck, at that point you’re already dead!

I am really laser focused on getting all my adult patients updated on their vaccines. A few vaccine doses I gave out in clinic today: - pneumococcal vaccine - Td booster - Covid booster - MMR - HPV - Hep B vaccines 8/8 acceptances, zero refusals. OFFER, COUNSEL, VACCINATE

The brief flush which might be food allergy from the Italian sub sandwich was a bit dizzying, but worth it. Great sandwich.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:

The number for the phone Hegseth used for those Signal chats is also found on his social media and a fantasy sports site. At this point his comms are presumed totally compromised: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

imagine being a four star general fired after Pete Hegseth questioned your job competence and opening up literally any national newspaper

This country is being run by idiots.
