#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance CORRECTION This video clip is from 2018. It is Trump & Pam Bondi talking about a law they wanted to pass. To be clear, I am all for common sense gun laws. We do need a national red flag law. I’m laughing bc MAGA said it was dems that want our guns. Ironic

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

JUST IN: DOJ asks Judge Ali to stay his order from today — which was to enforce a TRO in place since Feb. 13 — because, DOJ says, "the Court’s order requires Defendants to disburse nearly $2 billion dollars by 11:59 PM tomorrow." THEY HAD TO DO SO SINCE FEB. 13, THOUGH!! That's the whole point!

Eh, sorry, but this seems like a tenth-order problem at best. "Scientific research cures cancer" is really easy to understand, & here we are, with the fascists destroying the NSF and NIH. The deep, ugly anti-intellectualism is not because of jargon.

Do we have to decide Musk is either an omnicompetent genius or a complete moron & fraud? Seems more likely he’s extremely sharp within a narrow sphere of competence, but also sort of unhinged, detached from reality by his fame & wealth, & delusional about the scope of his own competence.

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights. But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases. See how this works?
