A reminder that earlier this year they fired a whole bunch of military lawyers, people who had the job of advising on the legality of military operations.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Hot take: airport attire evolved to the changing airport. TSA pat downs, removing shoes, cramped seats, waiting hours because of a delayed flight…these conditions favor the sweatpants & running shoes. Athletic/leisure wear was the natural progression with the changing environment.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Noted. Probably not a big deal. Surely won’t impact how hospitals & the public talk about disease spread. We’re fine, we’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

They are so close to understanding universal healthcare, something that has become standard in wealthy nations.

For the record, this doesn’t make sense. If you want to avoid paying a middle man who inflates prices you have to get universal healthcare. The reason we haven’t seen a viable alternative since the ACA is that there is no non-socialist way to both keep prices down & avoid a gouging middle man.
Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."

Aphantasia is something I discuss with my psychedelic-assisted therapy clients. Many ask if they’ll see visuals & I ask how well they can visualize an apple. Anecdotally, this feels like a good correlation. If they can’t visualize well, their sessions may feel like emotions in a swirl of darkness.

Armchair take: This is often learned from an emotionally repressed childhood. If you’re raised that showing emotion in certain ways means you lost the argument, you begin to put style over substance. His substance was vile. Just because he wore a collared shirt & shook hands doesn’t mean he’s civil.
