Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

Charter school laws in 46 states could be affected by a case the Supreme Court is hearing over an Oklahoma school that wants to use government money to teach a curriculum infused by Catholic doctrine. Listen to arguments with reporter analysis.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.

Big loss in court for Kari Lake Judge Royce Lamberth orders administration to restore millions of $$ in funds to Radio Free Europe Judge: "When money has been appropriated by Congress.. Executive has no residual constitutional power to refuse to spend these appropriations"

This is the way.

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.

These cases will never survive federal courts overseen by federal judges...which means at some point I'm pretty sure they're going to resort to military tribunals or kangaroo courts in soccer stadiums

“When I was younger, there were never people who liked to spend time home alone by themselves, but now it’s a national epidemic,” said Robert F. Kennedy Jr. theonion.com/rfk-jr-...

“i’ve always been an ignorant piece of shit my entire life guys”

BREAKING: 12 states sue Trump in the U.S. Court of International Trade to block his massive tariffs, accusing him of illegally imposing tax hikes on Americans and violating the Constitution.

Susan Rice on Pete Hegseth attacking DEI while betraying his own incompetence: "If you're a white, Christian, cisgender, macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock and be deemed qualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. That's apparently what we've learned from this episode."

My phone just served me this picture, from a March 2021 CNBC hit, and I want to put it in a museum of pandemic times.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Pete Hegseth is in the process of getting fuckin blackout drunk bro.

"they also don't care about your way of life" is a total lie. they're obsessed with your way of life! they vote and speak in loathing of your way of life! small-town red America obsessively focuses on other ways of life

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

@libertybirb.bsky.social What happened to Klaus’ Bluesky?

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Montana is investing $300 million to help those with severe mental illness from cycling through ERs, state psychiatric facilities, jails and homelessness. Advocates say they also need stable housing.

“Wherever law ends, tyranny begins.” John Locke Two Treatises of Government (1689) This quote was carved into the exterior limestone walls of the Department of Justice. However, it is completely irrelevant under this administration.

In a blistering ruling, a federal judge blocks a new executive order from President Trump punishing a prominent law firm that successfully sued Fox News for promoting false claims of election fraud. “The framers of our Constitution would see this as a shocking abuse of power,” the judge says.
