Are there MAGA farmers and ranchers who vaccinate their livestock, but are anti-vaxxers for humans? I’m genuinely curious.

Question - Is being a member of the bar an absolute requirement for being named a US Attorney or Attorney General?

I look forward to next year when Trump’s sycophants go to great lengths to explain how the extrajudicial murder of unnamed people in international waters is a justification for awarding a Nobel Peace Prize.

I bet the League of Women Voters will be in the top 10 list of their “terrorist supporting organizations”. For multiple reasons.
The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

FYI - When you engage in military attacks, you’re not “testing” a ceasefire. You’re violating it.
The soft pedaling of violent military actions by legacy media is so blatantly obvious sometimes.

Any Republican implicated in the Epstein files must be indicted and tried at the State level. The Federal government must be blocked from interfering or preempting state actions.
That way Trump won’t be able to pardon any Republicans convicted of crimes related to the Epstein files.

This is the 21st Century equivalent to European explorers plundering graves for artifacts.
Perhaps they should also dig up the graves of the recovered bodies to see if they’re wearing any jewelry.

Titanic passenger’s pocket watch sold for record £1.78m at auction
The 18-carat Jules Jurgensen gold watch belonged to Isidor Straus who, along with his wife, lost his life when the ship sank
A gold pocket watch that belonged to a man who died on board the Titanic when it sank has sold for a record sum.
The watch, which belonged to 67-year-old Isidor Straus, went for £1.78m at auction, the highest amount ever paid for Titanic memorabilia. He was given the watch, an engraved 18-carat Jules Jurgensen, as a gift on his 43rd birthday in 1888. Continue reading...

Instead of a Russian 28 point plan, why don’t we insist on honoring the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. Ukraine agreed to surrender its nuclear arsenal. The US, UK and Russia agreed to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty. What happened to that deal?

You are correct about the training of ICE soldiers. But, they are trained in exactly the way their masters want them to behave. The only thing missing is the black Hugo Boss designed uniforms.
The SchutzStaffel weren’t and aren’t intended to be a law enforcement entity.

ICE soldiers do not appear to be trained in any standard law abiding enforcement capacity. There, I said it.

The White House is now essentially declaring that because SCOTUS gave the President immunity, everything he orders is legal.
“When the President does it, that means it is not illegal.” Richard Nixon 1977.
And so it has come to pass, thanks to the Roberts court.
Unless we stop it.

As the oligarchs buybup more and more of this country, and build their guarded private sanctuaries, it may be worth remembering all of the verses to Woody Guthrie’s This Land Is Your Land”. Perhaps it’s even more appropriate now than in the days of the depression.

Not visible in this photo is Ernst Kaltenbrunner, who started as a legal advisor/counselor to the Nazi party and ended up running the SS concentration and death camps. Hanged in 1946. Something for the lawyers and detention camp overseers to ponder.

The thing to remember is that whether spoken or silent, Alito is perfectly comfortable with racial gerrymandering. He’d probably be happy returning to the three fifths compromise if he could get away with it and it helped white nationalist republicans.
GOP hack SamAlito lets Texas reinstate gerrymandered House map that could give GOP 5 more seats. We don't have a Supreme Court. We have a corrupt GOP machine designed to deliver for the GOP.

I wonder if we’ll start seeing TV adds for banks and finance companies to loan, or refinance medical debt soon.
Every action to inflict hardship on uninsured Americans must be accompanied by a means to extract more money from them. It’s the Capitalist i.e, Republican way.

When millions lose insurance later this year, the insured population shrinks.
Demand is inelastic: people still get sick, injured, or need chronic care. They don’t stop consuming healthcare; they just consume it in more expensive, less efficient ways. And they take on medical debt.

Abominable. Unforgivable. But it also sounds just the kind of program Steven Miller would like to implement for ICE/DHS detainees. The more monstrous the better for that ghoul.
🧵In the 1970s, at least a quarter of Native women of childbearing age were sterilized without their consent–many without their knowledge.
Most of the procedures happened thru Indian Health Service–the federal program that is supposed to deliver health care to tribal citizens.

To the Cheeto, “civil” means he can insult and harass Mamdani at will, but if the mayor responds he’s not being “civil”.
He’s pulled the same $hit with Zelenskyy. Wait for it.

My question about MAGA & his sycophants concerns how they will react when Trump/Bondi challenge the legality of providing all of the Epstein files to Congress. Bondi will claim power to redact or withhold large parts of the files.
Will his followers consider it a betrayal or a brilliant strategy?

Apparently we’re past “Show me your papers”. In Charlotte, we’re at the “We’ll break your car window, drag you out to the ground, haul you off in an unmarked vehicle, search you later, find your papers & passport, and let you go. Oh, we won’t wear uniforms or identify ourselves either” stage.
