In 2004 I was the first person (who was not an expert hired by CBS) to notice that the Bush Texas Air National Guard documents were forgeries because they were supposedly from 1972 but were in a proportionally spaced font. At home. In my boxer shorts. Posted about it on https://t.co/ntRHZADiSN, then told the wife.
Returning to the USAID litigation for an update:
The D.C. Judge overseeing the case issued a "TRO" back on Feb. 13 directing that funds be released on USAID/State Dept. contracts/grants for work done up through Feb. 12.
But he left open the option of the Trump Admin to review the contracts according to their own terms and the various statutes and regulations by which the operate and are enforced.
So, between Feb. 13 and Feb. 26, the Trump Admin reviewed all the contracts to determine if they were worth continuing based on changed foreign policy views of the new Admin.
The easiest example is USAID grants intended to fund "green energy" efforts in foreign countries. The new Admin thinks that is all "wasted" money.
Today Sec. Rubio announced that approximately 5200 of the 5700 hundred grants/contracts being administered by USAID and/or State Dept. are being cancelled -- which is allowed under the terms of the agreements.
It remains to be seen just what the DC Judge does in trying to enforce his TRO and any Preliminary Injunction he might impose. Last week four members of the Supreme Court strongly suggested that he likely lacks jurisdiction to do any of the things he is doing, but the Court was not yet ready to take up his actions on their merits.
I suspect that if the Judge attempts to order any relief that attempts to superseding the State Departments authority under the terms of the contracts to cancel them, we'll see a very quick trip back to the Supreme Court.
Trump’s retaliation against law firms is having its predictable chilling effect. Punishing law firms for representing clients the president dislikes infringes on the 6th Amendment right to counsel of one’s choice and the 1st Amendment right to free association. https://t.co/BnXPUzFasI
🚨 BREAKING: Trump says MORE arrests are coming of pro-Hamas foreign students.
"We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again."
"If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply. Thank you!"
I feel like the best way to be “pro-vaccine” is to engage in good faith with the criticisms from anti-vaxers, acknowledge where you think they are right, and point out where you think they are wrong🤷♂️
If you cannot settle scientific discussions with science, you should stay out.
My dear Alejandro.
Take a walk, honey bunny. Breathe. This is all a natural consequence of psychopathic doctors committing crimes against children.
What did you think was going to happen?
There is only one way this all ends. Total, uncompromising, unrelenting assault on the cult of gender until it is reduced to ashes and the ashes are vaporized on the surface of the sun.
President Emmanuel Macron of France sucks up to Donald Trump after inviting him to the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris.
Donald is not the effing president right now!!!!!
Shameful stuff.
As a teen, I was at a Planned Parenthood because my parents were pressuring me to have an abortion. During my visit, I was clearly in distress. I told the woman examining and counseling me that I didn’t want an abortion - that I’d already had one, it was terrible experience, and I didn’t think I could handle another one.
She didn’t offer me an ounce of compassion or empathy. She showed zero concern. She didn’t offer me emotional support or services.
No. She shrugged and said, “That’s normal” and proceeded to join my parents in pressuring me to abort.
This is a true story. One of many in which women were coerced, pressured, and manipulated by abortion clinic staff into abortions they didn’t want.
This is just one of many reasons we should defund Planned Parenthood.
