TIME MAG has a piece by a reporter embedded at the El Salvadoran prison who watched as Andry, a gay asylum-seeking Venezuelan barber they said is a gang member but is not, was slapped and screamed for his mother as they held him down.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesnβt know what heβs doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didnβt do it.

For those who've followed my COVID journey since December 2019, when my pancreas was damaged by the virus and I became a type 1 diabetic - I'm no longer a type 1. My pancreas has healed enough that I have gone a week now with no insulin injections for the first time in four years. Feeling good!

RFK Jr.βs Prescription for Bird Flu on Farms: Let It Spread
The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.
RFK Jr. & his brain worm would just like to remind everyone that he doesnβt give a flying fuck.
βIf H5N1 were to be allowed to run through a flock of 5 million birds, βthatβs literally 5 million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,β Dr. Hansen said.π±

Social Security Administration moves forward with changes that could force thousands to file claims in person
The agency announced Tuesday it was putting in place a new anti-fraud step for claims that would require Americans who start their claims by phone to verify their identity using the online system or provide documentation in person at a field office. The change, driven by Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service, could cause particular hardships for the elderly and disabled Americans who have limited mobility

Elon Muskβs Starlink Expands Across White House Complex
Trump administration officials said the company donated the internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the White House Counselβs Office.
Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.
