Not only importing Argentina's beef from a meat supply infested with screw worms-see Claudia Shienbaum has laws to protect against it, but DJT is killing two birds with one stone by speculating extractive gain in Argentina+boosting RFK Jr's mission of a screw worm in every American cooking pot.

Oooh this is juicy. This is from Jim Comey's response to Lindsay Halligan's motion to disqualify defense counsel Pat Fitzgerald, and to set up filter protocols over old warrants. THE DEFENSE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE WHAT? lol

Just now: In 3d Circuit argument over whether Alina Habba was properly appointed, Circuit Judge D Brooks Smith asks whether govt's theory isn't a "complete circumvention of the [Constitution's] appointments clause"? (Reagan appointed Smith to DCt; GWB appointed him to appeals court.)

"A President At War With Americans"

Republicans have replaced Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” with a far darker insult; branding everyday Americans as lunatics, terrorists, and criminals for simply wanting to live.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
