Holy smokes! If you acted like Palantir CEO Alex Karp in a corporate meeting, they would report you to HR. Just saying.

Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy.
His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY.
Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

My public health grad school stats professor used to lighten up his presentations with examples of terrible charts, graphs and images that misrepresent data and this would be quite an entry
Wow. Tracy Beth Høeg, the FDA's new acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) just put this slide up during her presentation to ACIP.

So let’s play this out then. If you think more of their ilk are on the way you don’t wait so you can kill them too, or, capture orfollow them so they can take you to their leader, as they say.
2/ What Adm. Bradley and Gen. Caine told Congress raises credibility concerns.
"The military officers briefing Congress on Thursday said the survivors could have been trying to beckon to other alleged drug traffickers in a plane or boat to come get them...."

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.
“If you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."
Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.

I am real sick of hearing "We haven't had a case of X in 30 years, why do we need to get a booster or initial vaccine?" COME ON, PEOPLE. USE THOSE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. The reason you haven't seen a case in years IS BECAUSE OF THE VACCINE.

DOJ argues that, if the National Guard is properly federalized at any point, any decision to extend it is unreviewable.
Breyer: “Like diamonds, it’s forever. That’s the position of the federal government.”
Although DOJ pushes back on that as a fact, they acknowledge that is their legal argument.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

When incidence of these vaccine-preventable diseases skyrockets and they are unable to hide all of the data, I wonder how terrible they will be at coming up with other things to blame.
Mr. Siri argues that you can do a fully vaccinated/ unvaccinated study.
Note that the IOM also said that study is not needed. There is enough robust data. But Mr. Siri won't tell you that.

Exactly! And perhaps this is included in (c), but I keep thinking about all of the others guys casually chatting on Signal via who-knows-what devices. Likely the rest are violating their department’s policies on where/how they conduct official business, retain records, etc.
Before applauding the DOD IG too much, it's fairly absurd that he did not:
(a) launch a broader investigation into Hegseth's use of Signal - what else did he compromise?;
(b) take him to task for his non-cooperation; &
(c) try to get the full Signal chats from other agency IGs.
