Remove all MMA, reality TV, and beauty pageant failures from this admin - and you’d have almost no admin at all. Except for Stephen Miller, who may be nosferatu. Ok, let’s add β€œundead” to the removal list.

Iranian drones crashed at Nakhchivan Airport in Azerbaijan. One hit a terminal, others fell elsewhere. Following the attacks, Iran’s ambassador Mojtaba Dermichilu was summoned to Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry

Pathetic coward, tries to talk like he’s ex-military (slang, etc) but of course never served.

Oh, and he’s an idiot, too.

RFK Jr has 'unreviewable' authority to reshape vaccine policy, DOJ lawyer tells judge A lawyer for the Trump administration told a judge on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has such broad authority over vaccine policy that he could even ​scrap re...

DOJ argued RFK Jr. has "unreviewable" power to swap vaccines for "natural" measles? 🀑

Scientists and the AAP beg to differ! Public health isn't an opportunity for Bobby's psychotic fan fic dreams.

Truly, when did "trust the science" turn into "trust whatever the hell 🧠πŸͺ± dreamed up last night"? πŸ₯΄

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

The second, final Supreme Court decision is Galette v. NJ Transit. Per Sotomayor's unanimous opinion, NJ Transit is NOT an arm of NJ and thus NOT entitled to sovereign immunity.

This is a very good ruling that allows civil suits against NJ Transit! I'm surprised www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Somehow it’s made worse by having to operate demonically (oops, my bad?) complicated machine BEFORE HAVING COFFEE.

It’s rude.
It’s way too challenging.
It’s a vicious circle.

Kristi may have soared too close to the sun this go round but everyone working the late shift in a massage parlor next to the methadone clinic out by the airport in β€˜the other Branson’ at least knows it’s possible now and that’s not nothing.

Yeah this is quite literally what they’ve been preparing for for over a decade. This is part of why actual military experts have said war with Iran will go badly.

Locals report a large fire growing at the Bahrain Petroleum Company refinery.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirmed that a refinery in the Maameer area was attacked.

Appears Iran fired a large salvo of ballistic missiles in last hour.

Organize and Advocate to Abolish Detention Across the country, people are uniting to protect immigrant family members, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. ICE’s detention centers are everywhere, which makes federal policy a local issue in communities nationwide. Detention Watch Network advances federal advocacy to end immigration detention and supports local member and state-wide campaigns through information sharing, strategy development, public education and communications.

⚠️ ICE/DHS is creating a humanitarian and public health crisis by concentrating people into camps in inhumane conditions

I know I’ve been a bit quiet the last few days so this is me letting you know I’m ok and I’m still here, I just need a bit to breathe. But friendly PSA: if you know a GWOT vet, or a vet in general, maybe check in on them and make sure they’re ok. They could probably use it right now. Hang in there ✊

Obama calls on Virginians to vote for redistricting in special election β€œFree and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now they are under threat,” Obama said.

Bari Weiss Is Going Full β€˜Propaganda-Palooza’ With the Iran War The CBS News war coverage is going exactly as we thought it would. Plus, Gayle King goes 'all in' on Weiss, while CNN commentator Scott Jennings sucks up to her.

NEW from me:

"This is Bari’s hardline Zionist wet dream come true,” a CBS News insider snarked to Zeteo.

The Iran War offered Bari Weiss the perfect opportunity to push her pro-Israel agenda, with one staffer calling this week "Propaganda-palooza."

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.
