H5 bird flu has been infecting new animal species beyond cows. Historically infected humans' mortality rate is 50%, & the danger is this could become a worse pandemic than COVID.

Luckily CDC under Trump is ramping up to meet this dire challenge.

oh, wait ...

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · Apr 21

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

Stephen Miller Theme Song

I'd be tender, I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart

Honest truth is he's a babbling child at this point.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 3d

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

Why work so hard to get to the Senate if you don't use your power to fight for what you believe in? Especially at a time like this.

Now that the International Criminal Court is being mentioned as perhaps a place where the likes of Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem could someday wind up, it's instructive to recall Marco Rubio is apparently working to dismantle it.

Trump administration imposes new sanctions on four ICC judges, prosecutors

President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on two judges and two prosecutors at the International Criminal Court, as Washington ramped up its pressure on the war tribunal over its targeting of Israeli leaders and a past decision to investigate U.S. officials.

1. Insurance companies each contribute to an annual fund to be distributed to GOP congresscreatures as "campaign contributions."

2. Poors & preconditions that can't afford what insurance companies charge crawl off & die.

Now he wants real bad to help China, like with 100% tariffs on everything. 🙄

This a day after one of his tirades erased more than $2 trillion from the market, much of it from Americans' 401-Ks.

How about helping Americans 🤡.
