This is pure Bart Simpson “I’ll take up smoking I just quit smoking and saved all that smoking money” antics, but not as a cartoon joke but as a bulldozer sabotaging the entire federal government.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

It seems to me that this is an historic night - Europe has broken with America. It is no longer considered an ally. Hard to see how NATO survives this. America now stands with Russia. Europe opposes.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

As much I hate to see it, I’m glad the BBC is (finally) showing the footage of Trump saying he would have given Russia almost all of the land they wanted in Ukraine straight away. Bc a nuclear power deciding to just CEDE LAND OF A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY TO ANOTHER should make Europe very, very nervous.
