The dumbest thing about Trump's desire to manufacture dolls in the US is that many of the jobs would be bad ones: Connecting plastic body parts to torsos, attaching nylon hair, etc. I talked to toy industry people who laid this all out. Striking stuff: newrepublic.com/article/1949...

Trump administration says no masking allowed on college campuses but then send out masked men to disappear folks off the streets of America. Why are these people hiding their faces if they are acting lawfully and merely carrying out Trump’s campaign promises?

Just spoke with my CDC sources. RFK Jr. has reportedly told officials to hide cases, even as symptomatic farm workers test positive for H5N1. Pandemics start with cover-ups. I'm exposing the Trump administration through direct CDC leaks.

Donald Trump is an aspiring despot intent on destroying American democracy. The people with the power—and the constitutional obligation—to stop him are the Republicans in Congress. Their failure to act is a constitutional crisis and a stain on their legacy that will never be removed.
