In another episode of “we live in the stupidest timeline,” Jen Easterly, a woman I have (1) never met and (2) did not work for, had her appointment at West Point terminated because Laura Loomer lied about both of us in a tweet.

This is such an outrage. It’s not enough that this administration perverts the US legal system but it needs to do it overseas too. Bolsonaro and Trump are peas in an insurrection’s pod IMHO.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is a direct threat to public health.
"Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover."
"Almost 100% sure that she already has an agreement with the government. It’s called a proffer agreement.” (Immunity for information given to Blanche)
“I read into...reason she wasn’t asserting a privilege is that she doesn’t need to. She already has that form of immunity.”

Reuters: Chief Judge "Boasberg said on Thursday he may initiate disciplinary proceedings against Justice Department lawyers for their conduct in a lawsuit."
If you don't see the connection to Emil Bove, you're missing the extra import of this.

Trump and Bondi Can Release the Epstein Files Now – If They (Really) Wanted To
open.substack.com/pub/weissman...
Trump should want the birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein released to the public.
He claims he didn’t write it. Let the handwriting and forensic experts see it. If he’s right, they’ll poke holes in the story.*
Release the birthday card.
*Of course, I don’t believe his denial.
Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

EPSTEIN-Trump is playing games. He’s seeking disclosure of grand jury material but that requires court approval which the law is VERY hard to satisfy. But the government TODAY can disclose all the other investigative material on its own without court approval. Why isn’t it doing that?
