"The FDA is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division... Another disruption to food safety programs after the termination and departure of 20,000 HHS employees..." www.reuters.com/business/hea...

FDA ends milk safety testing, under RFK Jr budget cuts, making U.S. foods less safe. www.patreon.com/posts/fda-en...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

@scarycutedinos.bsky.social Thanks!

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Pete Hegseth has one sideburn. did the other one get shaved off as a prank or what?

Bat 💩 Crazy!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Harvard has some of the best scientists inventing new ways to early detect and cure cancer. But Trump’s ICE locks them in a detention center— for 2 months!

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

💯 this!!!

If I were a senator, @democrats.senate.gov I would be ON A PLANE to either Bluebonnet in Abilene or Harlingen NOW where Trump is about to send more people to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act with no meaningful due process.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This is some sick shit

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

The good old days

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

"If you can purchase US citizenship for $5 million, the “illegals” are only guilty of being poor." -Feminist News

The Department of Homeland Security sent a letter to Dr. Lisa Anderson, who was born in Connecticut, which stated: “It is time for you to leave the United States." Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.

Roger Parloff on the "evidence" that Abrego Garcia is a gang member: "It's double hearsay stemming from a document written by somebody indicted for misconduct."

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The ENTIRE administration brings shame to America. There’s not a qualified or decent person amongst them.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Over 200 people were sent to a Salvadoran gulag with no due process! Bring every 1 of them home. Merwil Gutiérrez was also mistakenly taken & he's just a teenager-a boy, FFS! Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a dad of 3 & union member. Will you be next? Will I? Speak out & call Congress at 202-224-3121!

Time to give Palantir the Tesla and Target treatment. Make it shameful to work there. Organize rallies at their offices.

🤣

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

So much damage

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

I promise this is posted on the official ICE Twitter handle.

“IDEAS”

Of course it was fraud. @therickwilson.bsky.social breaks down the “dead cat bounce” we all watched take place yesterday in the market. Watch here: therickwilson.substack.com/p/trump-cave...

The transformation of the GOP from “limited government conservatives” to “the president can do anything he wants and no Constitution, statute, Congress, court, state, or private institution can stop him” has been one heck of a ride.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.
