He’s winding down the war and looking for an off-ramp but will blow up all their power plants unless they open the Strait which we don’t need and will open itself anyway which is why he might send ground troops to the country he already blew off the map.
No snark - if you like free markets you should consider being a a Dem. The govt has taken a stake in multiple companies, imposed hundreds of billions in tariffs, illegally halted multi gigawatt energy projects that were almost done, 1/2
“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.” https://t.co/r3VrzYppaG
Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying [FBI Director] Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
I know we're meant to be inured to it - but president savaging @kaitlancollins and saying she doesn't smile and calls her a liar while asking about Epstein's victims and he just goes on to other questions, and then whoever he calls on next ... pretends it didn't happen? Bunch of smiling politicians behind him, including Susan Collins. Never stops being fucking gross.
No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
@ElizLanders reports.
This is misinformation.
The Cochrane review on influenza vaccines in children found inactivated vaccines reduce the risk of influenza by 64% (high-certainty evidence) and live attenuated vaccines by 78% (moderate-certainty evidence).
On hospitalizations and deaths, Cochrane stated they “found no data on hospitalisation” — meaning no RCTs measured this outcome. That’s completely different from finding “no evidence of benefit.” Absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence.
Cochrane’s strict RCT-only methodology isn’t designed to capture rare outcomes like deaths. Observational studies consistently show flu vaccines reduce pediatric hospitalizations and mortality.
RFK Jr. is exploiting a methodological nuance to mislead the public about a vaccine that protects children.
Juan Orlando Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
The Justice Department estimated that this represents 4.5 billion doses of cocaine and that he was “at the center of one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
He is responsible for the deaths of countless American citizens, and will now be pardoned by Donald Trump.
Don’t tell me Donald Trump is killing people in boats in the Caribbean to stop drug trafficking.
I don’t think the word fascism should be thrown around or depreciated through overuse, but if your top advisers are going around calling for an autocratic executive to suspend the judiciary and declare martial law, the whole “don’t call me a fascist” thing loses its punch.
When I state that US tariff policy is currently being set by actual crazy conspiracy theorists who lack any grasp on economic reality, this is what I mean.
I don’t think I have ever publicly criticized any Presidential nominee before.
But E.J. Antoni is completely unqualified to be BLS Commissioner. He is an extreme partisan and does not have any relevant expertise.
He would be a break from decades of nonpartisan technocrats.
Another wild scoop on NPR from @TomDreisbach: Video shows a man on Jan. 6 shouting for the crowd to kill police: “Kill ‘em!” He admitted saying it.
One of Trump’s first acts in office was to cancel his trial and hire him for a job at the Justice Department.
