JUDGE MILLETT: If the govt decides very quickly to bulldoze the Statue of Liberty, the people whose ancestors — that was the first thing they saw coming to this country, but the govt moved too fast — nothing can be done?

DOJ: I think that’s right, yes.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. @BlackiLi @WilliamJBroad https://t.co/r8pPDoXqgh

The United Nations has just voted 153-1 on a resolution ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers and UN personnel across the globe.

The only country voting against? The United States 🇺🇸.

An important study elucidating the mechanism by which mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis

The risk is rare

The risk of myocarditis from covid is about 10 times higher

But understanding how a vaccine might have negative side effects is a key part of making vaccines even safer

A convicted fraudster paid two right-wing lobbyists $960,000 for "seeking a federal pardon" for him. Months later, Trump pardoned him. @PostKranish @AaronGSchafer https://t.co/h1sLfqawU3

@nprscottsimon Thanks Scott. Looks like you’re wearing a Sonoma County shirt.

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

President Donald Trump shared a claim that former President Barack Obama received millions in Obamacare-related royalties before Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency stepped in to stop it. That claim originated from satire.

It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare.

Reminder: Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina for no reason.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I for one will never forgive or forget the people who did this. Some of the greatest and cruelest domestic crimes of my lifetime.

The Trump administration is fighting in court not to pay out food stamps

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Donald Trump’s lawyers literally argued in court yesterday that feeding starving families undermines his ability to use hunger as political leverage for the shutdown.

SICK!

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

RFK Jr had slashed the CDC’s program to monitor and track food-borne outbreaks back in August. Fast forward to now… deadly listeria outbreak across the U.S. has now caused 25 hospitalizations and 6 deaths across 18 states, one of the largest outbreaks. These events are linked.

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

Congress’ nonpartisan number cruncher says between $7 billion and $14 billion in economic activity could be permanently lost because of the shutdown. Depending on the Trump administration’s actions, it could be an even bigger hit.

Thimerosal was removed from vaccines in U.S. 20 years ago, except for one seldom used multi-dose flu vaccine. And what happened after thimerosal was removed from vaccines in the U.S.? Nothing, except autism rates actually increased (shifting diagnostic criteria). article attached

[ProPublica @propublica]

The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers: https://t.co/Spdio0KRi2

[Governor Newsom Press Office (parody) @AwesomeNewsom]

YES DONALD, PLEASE DO A SERIOUS REVIEW OF THIS. I HEAR DEAD PEOPLE VOTED AFTER BEING REVIVED WITH A COVID VACCINE. THEIR BALLOTS WERE THEN BLOWN BY WINDMILLS INTO THE HANDS OF MEXICAN ANTIFA WHO PASSED THEM TO A TEAM OF TRANS PIGEONS WHO FLEW THEM TO THE BALLOT BOX. TRUE STORY.

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

The MD-11 (registration N259UP) that crashed in Louisville was on the ground in San Antonio from September 3 to October 18. This suggests the aircraft underwent maintenance during that period.
