So not even pretending it’s about public health.

Do we have any idea what US agency or officials are in charge of these negotiations?

The Houthis join the chat…

Peter Navarro…. Consider the source.

Well, prior to Mussolini, fasces were benign. SPQR and all that.

He is a disturbing person. Propublica did a piece on him. The thing that upset me most was that he and Project 2025 had all of Trump’s executive orders already prepared prior to the election. The 100s of them. They spent years setting this up, Trump was their useful idiot.

A state with unvaccinated children and a lot of old people. Just like FL.

Maybe some fasces?

Another boots on the ground war .. for.. oil.

He is always looking on how to feather his own nest in every situation.

I seem to recall that after the Abraham Accords, he opined that the Palestinians really didn’t matter in Israel’s diplomacy anymore.

It is mystifying how he loves the European racial heritage, but hates actual Europeans. But they get a vote in all this too, if they use it.

2) vaccine safety oversight
3) injury compensation

looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

And somewhere in US military intelligence, they knew this. They do model all this stuff out. And yet the higher ups ignored it. Someday we will know why.

I cannot tell you how infuriating I find this. This vaccine is pretty much a medical miracle.

Statistically, we could see this now. And then there is the secondary morbidity from immune amnesia. That should be visible in the numbers too (if anyone is keeping track anymore)

You have to admire his commitment to the task, but that was both horrifying and depressing.

Urea is also the major ingredient in Blue Def, (AdBlue) which is required in diesel engines. I am waiting for that shoe to drop.

It’s like a Dark Mirror episode, but unfortunately real. What would we do without the global South to do our dirty work?

If we ever get democracy back, there will be a commission to figure this out, but I blame Vought. Musk was just his tool.

If Congress can decide something the FDA has determined is safe and effective cannot be marketed, drug regulation is in trouble. Loper Bright sets the stage.

Pretty much…

China probably has gone all in on AI as well. We just don’t know it yet. They may just not use the clunky large data center model. Plus they throw stuff up faster than us.

Iranian Military Shows It Knows How to Adapt, U.S. Officials Say

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

I guess I should be reassured that the US hasn’t had a war since I was born. ( Note I am pretty old).

He identifies as plural?

LUCE: “.. Long after oil prices have stabilised, the world will recall his administration’s glory in the imagery of ‘lethality’ .. Trump chose to go to war and has taken explicit satisfaction in his power of life and death.”
