CDC workers in Georgia left to work through grief, anger after shooting After Friday's deadly shooting at the CDC in Atlanta, workers say they feel unsupported by federal officials.

β€œWhy has the White House not issued any statement?” [Dr. John Brooks] asked. β€œDo they really hate CDC this much? Are they simply incapable of doing anything to support federal workers, including those that aim to reduce exactly this kind of violence against Americans?”

"On Saturday, the AJC notes, Kennedy went on his personal social media account and shared photos of himself holding a big salmon from a fishing trip. Later in the day, following more complaints, his official account on X finally shared a message of support for CDC employees."

Whitaker was US Attorney for Iowa from β€˜04-β€˜09, had a failed Senate run in β€˜12, did shady stuff at a shady company for 3 years, started a β€œnonprofit” to attack Hillary, joined Trump to work with AG Sessions, became Acting AG for 3 months, and was a pundit/consultant after.

Now he’s NATO ambassador.

Being transgender is not misconduct. These servicemembers have a reliance argument (contract law) that should succeed in court. Otherwise what’s to prevent any admin from just finding arbitrary reason to dismiss military people right before they retire??

A Texas Judge Is Suing For the Right to Ignore the Supreme Court’s Same-Sex Marriage Ruling The Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that marriage is a fundamental right. Only Brian Umphress dares to ask the question: What if that doesn’t apply in Texas?

The conservative legal movement simply cannot wait to get the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell

Seeking to quell the backlash, the Justice Department dispatched a top official to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell, Mr. Epstein’s longtime associate who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. On Friday, Ms. Maxwell was moved to a lower-security facility. That fueled speculation that Mr. Trump might commute her sentence or even pardon her in return for her cooperation.

Here's how NYT explained that TRUMP'S FUCKING DEFENSE ATTORNEY went to meet the sex trafficker who "stole" his spa girls, turning one into a sex slave.

No mention of his name, no mention of his role as defense attorney, no mention that sex traffickers don't go to prison camps.

Exclusive | White House Preps Order to Punish Banks That Discriminate Against Conservatives The president is expected to sign an executive order as soon as this week that targets so-called debanking of businesses including crypto companies.

No, #MurdochJournal, they're not "conservative" companies. They're crypto companies and other scams that banks should avoid to protect our money.

I’m glad that the woman at the center of this story was able to make the choice she felt was right for her and her family. But what’s happening here is horrifying: conservatives are valorizing these stories strategicallyβ€”they want to make the skyrocketing maternal mortality rate *positive*

Autobiographies and books on slavery at risk for removal from Charleston historical site gift shops National Park Service staff marked 10 books sold at gift shops in the Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie and Charles Pinckney historic sites for content review.

Censorship at other historic sites too.
