The Guardian included this photo in your Charlie Kirk article with the military at attention next to a photo of Kirk. Do you have any idea, who ordered the miltary to be there?

It's a good essay, but perhaps David Brooks should address his essay to his fellow Republicans who have no spines and no moral compasses when it comes to standing up to trump.

Originalists don't believe in the Voting Rights Act, because the Founders, in their wisdom, omitted people of color from voting. And everything has to be as it was in 1787.

I don't think people realize what an immediate impact this is going to have on outbreak response and containment.

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

The complaint is that she's unqualified. It has nothing to do with her degree which was not from Columbia School of Journalism. She was a history major at Columbia and has never been a reporter. She's a whiner.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?
