Why is the media not talking more about Donald Trump tapping his PERSONAL ATTORNEY to lead the Department of Justice???
Comey. James. Walz.
Trump isn’t even pretending the DOJ is independent. He’s turning it into a his private police force for political retribution — targeting enemies and launching fact-less investigations.
SICK!
What this makes clear is that the WH, DOJ and FBI went in total circle-the-wagons mode including strategy meetings with Vance, Wiles, Bondi, Patel and others with their sole objective on the Epstein investigation to protect Trump from allegations about him in the files.
The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."
Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."
The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.
The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."
This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.
NEW: Major posts are vacant. Waves of scientists are gone. Ebola looms. How RFK Jr. manages HHS:
“If the C.E.O. lacked deep expertise in the company’s business and the leaders of its most important divisions were missing, investors would revolt."

Freedom 250, the public-private partnership funding Trump’s Fourth of July events, is allowing corporations to give millions of dollars to Trump’s pet projects.
Many of these companies have business or contracts with the government. https://t.co/MLvq7bYVyx
He needed to inconvenience hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, & ruin the experience for lifelong fans so he could fall asleep in the luxury box.
It's the perfect image for the sloth & the corruption, the decadence & the rot that has descended over America.
Breaking news: Inflation crossed 4 percent for the first time in three years in May, as sustained pressure from the Iran war makes clear that the inflationary hit to consumers is far from over. https://t.co/U0SyjviJJ6
This comparison to Trump's first and second term job approval rating on the economy says everything about the political environment for the upcoming 2026 midterms
Trump had a +8 approval on the economy at this time in 2018 and still got wiped out in the midterms. His job approval is -34 now! You can't gerrymand out of that
As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.
It's terribly backward.
It's also counterproductive.
Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.
President Trump’s attempt to claim that he can ignore the War Powers Act because hostilities have ceased is wrong both factually and legally.
The bombs are still dropping and the ports are still blockaded.
No wonder the administration refuses to release the legal opinion justifying the war.
A Supreme Court that is not just filled with partisan hacks. One with a majority completely in the pocket of corporations. They make the phrase “equal justice under law“ a farce.
Ranchers, the GOP let this happen. They voted to let DOGE and Trump eradicate funding for screwworm monitoring programs. Now, screwworm is here and cases are rising by the day.
Senator Marshall disgraces himself, blaming Biden for a flesh-eating screw worm in Texas, despite the fact Biden hasn't been POTUS for 2 years, and Republicans run Texas.
The Biden Derangement Syndrome is real.
