I cannot understand how anyone would think this is good. Appalling is a pale word compared to what this is.

When @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes “the world is worried” about Trump’s tariffs and other economic moves, he’s not speculating.
“Trump Just Bet the Farm” is the headline on a @nytopinion.nytimes.com column late Thursday afternoon that has this haunting observation:
Countries that have issued a travel advisory this year warning their citizens about visiting the United States:
Canada
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
Netherlands
New Zealand
United Kingdom

RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine.
This is false.
They are hospitalized with:
•respiratory distress
•pneumonia
•dangerously high fever
•encephalitis
•severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea
These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

The total expenditures for Medicaid as of 2023, the last year for which figures are available was $880 billion dollars. This is the wholesale elimination of funding for Medicaid.

There are lots of protest songs being written. Check out Chrys Matthews latest album for some ideas.

Which Departments are responsible for food safety?
USDA
HHS -> FDA and CDC
Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries)
If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food

Not sure about the men around me, but I also have pondered the fall of Rome recently, and recall doing so about 5 or 6 years ago as well.

In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years.
In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough.
Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus.
This is why we don't do these studies anymore.
Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.
