But also - the military requires SO MANY VACCINES. They even require a vaccine for an extinct disease! Getting rid of only the flu shot requirement is just blatantly obvious pandering by someone who doesn’t understand the existing vaccine structure. Just absolutely laughable.
Evidently this idiot has never heard of biological warfare?
He just made it easier for an enemy to handicap our troops.
So…. Thousands of tough marines in close quarters deploying and all of em get flu at the same time.. that will show the woke libs!!!!
Yeah that will solve all of our problems…..
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh won't say if Trump lost the 2020 election (he did).
Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
While Hegseth is at it he should let him wear what they want into battle. Forget drills or exercise too! No more protective gear either!
Total freedom!
You know what would REALLY "restore freedom" to the military? They should make following orders optional.
You can't be free if someone is telling you what to do, right?
Restoring fludom, actually. Viruses everywhere rejoice their new freedom under MAHA.
Given that we now seem to be the bad guys, maybe it’s just as well if our troops are down with a bad flu and not up for a fight?
Higher ed cannot let this conservative activist academic who trained Hegseth remake American higher ed in his own biased image.
When the "rules of professional conduct" protect corrupt judges from accountability, then the obligation of reporters to report without FEAR OR FAVOR takes precedence.
do you have any comments about the gross violations of duty those leaked reports reveal?
But what it comes down to is this: do you think the duty of confidentiality exists to protect the *appearance* of proper behavior by judges?
Or is it supposed to protect the *likelihood* of proper behavior?
Anyone who doesn’t grapple with the misconduct issue as it relates to this and just uses high-minded rhetoric to appeal to a generic duty of confidentiality has not thought much, if at all, about the duty of confidentiality as related to the judiciary.
Or feel that they know better than the Constitution? Or feel they are superior to everyone?
But what if your boss, in deciding an opinion, says something horrifically racist about one of the parties?
That is also clear misconduct, and I think should be discloseable.
Others will disagree.
On the easiest level, you should be able to tell people if your boss sexually harasses you. That much I hope we agree with.
The rule we were told at the time was that you could not speak to the press about anything that happened at the Court, but I think everyone reasonable would plainly agree that there must be exceptions.
When I spoke to Judge Scirica to try to get some understanding about what duties I actually owed my judge, I was told that I did not owe any duties in the case of misconduct but I couldn’t tell anyone anything to figure out if misconduct had occurred without potentially violating that duty.
The duty of confidentiality imposed on you as a law clerk is actually incredibly opaque.
I have a vested interest in this topic since my fucking boss used those duties to tell me I couldn’t talk to even a therapist about what he did to me.

Reality Check Break
Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.
At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.
Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

Stephen Miller, Whiskey Pete, AND Brendan Carr will all be hooting up Trump as they parade their regime media.

Reality Check Break
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
