I find this totally devastating to our national health. He has appointed people who don’t believe in Science, people who want “herd immunity” no matter how many lives it takes, and how many people are left with serious health issues. Vaccines, properly made and tested, prevent disease and deaths.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202.... As usual, Trump opened his mouth, inserted both his feet, without a plan going forward. We don’t know what he thinks, he talks, lies and bullies without thinking.

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: "What is going on with these masks?'...That's not something we can be doing in this country...I keep being shocked that there's not more pushback that [ICE] isn't properly showing who they are as they're trying to arrest people."

State Dept. restarts student visa interviews with tougher social media rules  How unAmerican this is. I don’t approve of all this nonsense. We need diversity ( oh, I forgot, they don’t like diversity) nature loves diversity .

www.huffpost.com/entry/miles-.... Yes, Trump is impulsive and he trusts his impulses more than all the intel and information about any topic. When impulse changes, so does he. Deeply flawed as POTUS and as human being.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-.... Trump was “mistreated” at the summit, and not happy with the protests in the US. He wants to change the narrative, and a war that Israel has already won is just the no lose gambit he would love to get into.
