Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Trump’s top deportation thug could finally face consequences Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino, who was the face of President Donald Trump’s invasion of Minnesota that terrorized and even killed residents, may now face legal consequences for his actions.

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying

Stephanie Ruhle has Great Wall Street sources. She just said most of them think this will all be wrapped up by Friday.

They

Fucking
Morons.

This.

That’s a typo. It’s Epstein Fury.

You Are What You Eat Casey Means, Influencer General Casey Means, the Trump administration’s new nominee for Surgeon General of the United States, has a prescription for America....

I read Casey Means' book last year and wrote about her "salvation through orthorexia" ideology so you don't have to. This woman being Surgeon General will entail enormous amounts of harm buttondown.com/theswordandt...

I fear for the safety of young women in that state.

Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents’ Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?

4 times as many measles cases in few weeks than US typically averages in year: CDC There have been 733 cases so far this year, a CDC report said.

Remember: In the prevaccine era, measles would peak in late winter- early spring. Don’t be surprised if in the next few weeks we see a surge

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Amidst all the noise, one thing shouldn’t go unmentioned: Someone in the Justice Department published those largely unredacted Epstein files today intentionally.

Not all heroes wear capes.

When It Comes to the Stock Market, Trump Is a Loser Only India's market did worse

When it comes to stock market performance, just like Davos, Trump is a loser. Only India did worse last year, Canada's market rose more than twice as much deanbaker22.substack.com/p/when-it-co...

"Peter Rodino went back to his office and wept. How, I wondered, did we get from that moment to Jim Jordan, who can’t seem to get names straight, bouncing in the chair in which Peter Rodino once sat, and babbling something about James Comey, and seashells..." link.esquire.com/view/5664569...

Mark Carney: World Hero It's always good to hear a politician telling the truth

Mark Carney hit a home run. We are now seeing an avalanche of truth-telling about Donald Trump's demented quests deanbaker22.substack.com/p/mark-carne...

California joins UN health network following US departure from WHO California said on Friday it will become the first U.S. state to join the World Health Organization's global outbreak response network following the Trump administration's decision to pull Washington out of the WHO.

And so it is done - the United States has left the World Health Organization. Leaving behind hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid dues.

If the plan - truly - was to make America healthy again, this will guarantee the opposite will happen.

Essential reading for everyone in the medical profession, regarding #longCOVID and the need to listen to patients. This one, by an MD, is going to get printed out and brought to a lot of appointments.

Also worth reflecting on the role of humility in "building the plane while we flew it".

This is the bottom line. They will protect the money. Which is why there's a chance that the tariffs will be the other thing they don't give Trump. It's not that they care about the Constitution or the law, but they might rule against him to protect the economy.

The foreigners who don't boycott the World Cup should all wear these hats, but they really should boycott Donald Trump's shitshow.

I’m trying to imagine what a libertarian start-up city in Greenland would be like and so far all I can come up with is:
1) a lot of bitching because they can’t get employees or servants to move there and build their regulation-free tech industries
2) Cannibalism
