Make America Nauseous Again Trump’s FDA said “it would delay by 30 months a requirement that food companies & grocers rapidly trace contaminated food through the supply chain & pull it off the shelves.” Trump has undercut efforts to tackle bacteria in food that sicken people.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

I once had to pay a big academic publisher for permission to reprint my own work in my own book. But very cool that one of the greediest people in history is allowed to rip off every scholar and writer in the world to boost his dogshit AI's valuation for himself and his investors.

Seeing folks on the other site claim that Alien Enemy Act removals are not reviewable by courts. The statute explicitly requires "a full examination and hearing," and there are literally dozens of reported cases from the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II: law.lclark.edu/live/files/9...

This is the kind of thing Trump can do even if he can't pull us out of NATO. He can render our membership in it almost trivial by using his Article II powers.

Just six years ago, Gabbard was slamming Donald Trump for helping the Saudis to bomb Yemen in what she called a "genocide" and said we "need a new president." Today, she works for Donald Trump and is defending Trump's direct attacks on Yemen and his killing of innocent people.

You're about to hear a LOT abt the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. You'll hear it was the basis for the WWII internment of Japanese Americans. Correct, but misleading. The legal authority for the roundup & imprisonment of 120K people of Japanese ancestry was an executive order, not the 1798 law.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

In mere weeks, the Trumpists have managed to turn America from a democratic system – albeit one with significant flaws – into one that no longer deserves to be counted among the world’s democracies. America is something else now. We need to recalibrate our expectations.
