For those purported Christians in the group think of it like Matthew 25:40. It works both ways – – the good things we do for the stranger and the bad.

The law also applies to people who are in ACTIVE LABOR. I suppose the pro-natalist right-to-lifers would prefer those babies and moms not survive.

And they don’t even know how to handcuff. Literally buffoons. Dangerous buffoons.

Per SCOTUS via Kavanaugh, it kinda is.

Minor point but "back then" pregnant people had the right to abortion protected by the U.S. constitution. Are they bringing that part back? (Irrelevant side note: I will never wear blazers with giant shoulder pads again; hard no.)

I think Buddy the Elf said it best.

It’s a pretty bad place to be in any month if you’re pregnant.

Even if wait times were due to our undocumented neighbors, the solution is not to cut off coverage for citizens or legal residents. The solution would be offering coverage for people who are undocumented (through Medicaid/care; ACA; etc.). Then they will not need to use ERs at a higher rate.

So wishy-washy. How about: Republicans do not care about the well-being of Americans and are shirking their responsibility to pass a budget. The powerful negative impact of their disregard of their own constituents falls squarely and exclusively on them. They own this shut down, hard stop.

There should be a one year period during which people could use the one dollar if they want and at the end of it, all unused dollars go to a charity selected by the lead plaintiffs.

They’re also fine with waging war against Americans; grifting; pedophiles; refusing to spend $ Congress appropriated; sham prosecutions of political opponents; violating our constitutional rights; children starving; pregnant women dying; and all evil.

There us another one there in the New Balance sneakers he wears to mow his lawn on weekends.

He tucks it at first down his pants then into his waistband. Then he loses control of it and the person being detained is able to make contact with it. Untrained racist xenophobes with firearms and badges. What could go wrong?

At the end of the 8 minute video, the masked officer wearing New Balance sneaks says to the guy filing: β€œyou wanna be next?”
These high-on-power *officers* with zero training or qualifications epitomize the Trump Administration.

Fuck him. Lawlessness.
And nothing points to the lack of training and competence of these people that took all of them to arrest one man.

Note the difference in response to this shooting and the one at CDC that ended in the death of a law enforcement officer. That's what this Administration thinks of the people who work at CDC and local LEOs; yet those people continue to work to protect us in myriad, mostly unseen ways. Thank you CDC

I was teaching vaccine law and policy yesterday and asked my students what they want to know more about and the Tylenol-Autism link was raised. So, yep; confusing everyone . . .

They look smart to me, not stupid. It’s not middle school. It’s their real lives; their futures. Pretty smart to protect them.

His daughters and wife and dog still hate him. So there’s that. Fuck Ted Cruz, who is really Rafael but he pretends to really be Ted and makes us all call him that while he forbids others from expressing their pronouns preferences. Dickwad.

How the Trump Administration Is Dismantling America’s Cancer-Research System

Reading today’s big NYT Magazine story made me physically sick

It details how Trump & the men he put in charge of federal researchβ€”men like Jay Bhattacharya & RFK Jrβ€”are dismantling cancer research

Not just the US vaccine systemβ€”they’re crushing cancer R&D
