One of the greatest games in NBA history.

This is Trump’s Watergate.

Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House. 

Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public 
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

Dr. Oz is attempting to lay the foundation for Republicans to gut Medicaid and Medicare again by calling them programs “of great danger” to the American people.

These people have no health care plan other than taking away yours.

Jessica: Kellyanne talking about his scandals, cheated on his wife, lied, insulted heroes—that's Donald Trump.

Compagno: No, he did not insult heroes. That’s a hoax.

Jessica: Oh, Donald Trump never insulted John McCain?

The FDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is tasked with things like checking incoming livestock, setting fly traps, and actually riding out to look for screwworm in the wildlife population. DOGE fired 20% of the workforce, including almost 250 staffers in Texas alone.

🚨OH MY GOD: Trump didn’t just walk out of the interview with Kristen Welker, he THREW the microphone on the floor and STEPPED ON IT!

What a thin-skinned, insecure man-child.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Welker: "You insisted no new wars."

Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war."

Welker: "You said it over and over again."

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

People who continue to blame New World Screwworm crisis on the Biden Administration need to stop

The Secretary has had 15 months to prepare a competent response, and despite what some are saying, the response has been lackluster and unserious

Let’s go over some facts:

In order to eradicate the NWS, we need somewhere between 500M-600M sterile flies produced WEEKLY, and we currently produce 100M weekly

There are current mechanisms and technologies that could be deployed IMMEDIATELY in order to produce those numbers that have been ignored by the USDA for the past 6 months

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) which oversees the NWS response is a disaster. There were some competent veterinarians interviewed during the transition willing to serve and reform the bureau who were blocked by the Secretary and her team. Instead they decided to retain the same director from the Biden Administration (ironic) who botched the response to the Avian flu

The tick rider program (people on horseback looking at wildlife and livestock in desolate areas) is completely disorganized, so the “surveillance” mechanisms that continue to be touted are not sufficient enough to detect these infestations in extremely rural areas in the timely manner required to combat this

On top of all this, producers in Texas are being pressured NOT TO REPORT potential cases, and if it wasn’t for some brave people reporting on this current case in LaPryor, it’s possible it would have been covered up
