"a total Marxist" - a "woke pope" - "a globalist" - "a shitlib" - might be "a demon" MAGA is having a totally normal, not at all deranged reaction to today's big news. Not that more evidence was needed, but it's a reminder of how this movement sees the world and anyone they consider their enemy.

If you were looking to combat transnational crime, especially drug cartels, this is the exact office you would NOT shut down. This move by Trump's DOJ undermines any argument they want to prosecute international cartels, human traffickers, and gang members such as MS-13.

What's happening with these grants is much more complicated and mostly unknown. None of the NIH have been officially cancelled. The NIH was just ordered to stop paying. They got the Unis to enforce silence on their own campuses because they thought they were "negotiating" and cld get the funds back.

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

If Kamala Harris—a Black and Southeast Asian woman—were president during this level of economic chaos, inflation, and global instability, Republicans would be screaming for impeachment hourly. Trump gets a pass because he’s a white man throwing tantrums for their team.

NEW: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has directed the CDC to look into the use of ‘vitamins’ as a possible treatment for measles. The CDC’s latest update reports 935 confirmed measles cases across dozens of states — officially more than triple the total reported in all of 2024.

While kids die of measles, RFK Jr. is pushing vitamins and cod liver oil instead of vaccines that are 97% effective. It’s not just junk science — it’s deadly negligence from a health secretary who’d rather coddle conspiracy theorists than save lives.

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk. So shall we get started?

We now have a series of federal judges openly suggesting that the payments offered by Paul, Weiss and the other capitulating law firms are legally akin to extortion payments made by shopowners to mobsters who threaten them. And it seems quite accurate.
