congress needs to stop this madman

DOJ is trying to convince a judge that RFK Jr.'s decisions are untouchable "Totally unreviewable" is how the Trump administration apparently views Kennedy's actions as health secretary.

A lawyer for the Justice Department argued on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine decisions are protected from legal scrutiny.

So much so that the Trump administration appears to believe that Kennedy’s actions are “totally unreviewable."

🎯 Came here to say Nixon was never held accountable.

Where’s Trump’s loyalty? Paxton was at The Ellipse 1/6 doing everything he could to help incite that insurrection.

I nominate Ted Cruz.

U.S. service members have filed a complaint alleging a commander justified Iran strikes using biblical prophecy, telling NCOs the conflict was part of a divine plan and suggesting Trump had been chosen to trigger “Armageddon.” www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Spain’s Foreign Minister Albares, calls out Karoline Leavitt on her lie that Spain had agreed to cooperate with the US in its illegal war:

“She may be the White House spokesperson, but I am Spain’s Foreign Minister, and I can assure you that our position remains unchanged.”

Their first mistake was to believe he had any principles at all.

YouTube video by Senator Markey Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.

Instead of protecting our food and farmworkers from harmful chemicals like glyphosate, Trump is shielding chemical companies from accountability and pushing more pesticides into our food. Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

Spain rebuts Israel’s foreign minister, a war criminal, after he claimed that Spain is “siding with tyrants.”

"That's absurd and ridiculous, Spain has a coherent foreign policy. We are always with democracy. We are always for international law."

DHS’s use of secretive legal weapon draws congressional scrutiny After a Washington Post investigation, congressional Democrats are asking tech giants how they handle administrative subpoenas targeting DHS’s critics.

Democrats in Congress launched an inquiry into how tech giants handle demands from DHS for personal information on Americans who criticize the agency.

The probe comes after The Post investigated Homeland Security’s use of administrative subpoenas.

Another promise broken by this president.

This is “angrily?” I think she’s keeping it together pretty well given the circumstances.

Ed Markey @SenMarkey Trump’s delay tactics are downright illegal, and the courts agree. No more delays. Trump must pay back America’s small businesses, consumers, and working families for the billions of dollars his tariff taxes took from them. Quote Liberty Justice Center @LJCenter · 4h STATEMENT FROM LJC: On Friday, the government asked the Federal Circuit to delay refunds for at least 90 more days. This morning, we filed our reply and told the court: No

He has me feeling wistful for Donald fucking Rumsfeld 😑

Zero Republicans call for Benghazi-style hearings. No rightwing media outrage. Republicans dined off of 4 dead Americans in Benghazi for a decade, and yet 3 dead Americans at the hands of a GOP president who promised no new wars gets no pushback. Fuck these fake outrage ghouls.

Medical experiments on prisoners?

Where have we seen this before?

UGH

One thing I am trying to do is give myself grace because the last decade has been Trump-pandemic-Trump, on top of the losses we’ve all endured in our own lives. Every caring person still getting out of bed most days is a fucking warrior to me. ❤️

“Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress”

Donald Trump put a Fox News commentator in charge of the Pentagon.

His Vice President was talking about war plans in a Signal chat. 

He says he knows better than the generals. 

This is who is putting our men and women in uniform in harm’s way.

Trump lied about the state of Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.

He lied when he said generals said this war would be “easily won.”

He lied when he said he would end forever wars.

I’m sick and tired of politicians sending working class kids to die for a lie.

Then they must stop collecting a salary and access to healthcare many of us only dream of.

AOC says she will support the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution.

I second the request.

They said that if I voted for Kamala Harris the president would end free enterprise and folks…

If Hegseth were an enemy agent--Chinese, Iranian, whatever---how would he act any different?
