Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” https://wapo.st/4eAG2sx
Hell, why have modern medicine in the military at all? Let's get back to vicious battlefield amputations. Anesthesia is woke.
Shocked that stock market is tanking again on the eve of yet another Trump imposed deadline with Iran after recent gains based on his social media posts. It’s almost as if there is some sort of pattern at play. open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
So jealous of you Illinois folks today. Outlawing book bans is a hell of a step forward.
Oh! Warsh made a 'vow' not to be manipulated! Well that's better than an oath of office or an oath to uphold the Constitution! Clearly a vow is more important to appointees than an oath and I'm sure he'll NEVER break that vow for illegal purposes or at the request of the 'president'.
Congress: Fool me once…Fool me 100 times…
It turns out the chief invented the shadow docket 10 years ago for all of the worst reasons you might think. slate.trib.al/vugJm9d

The Save Act died in the Senate, again yesterday, but with tRump’s Epstein war, most people didn’t notice.
In some South states, less than 30% of citizens have a passport, and most married women nationwide don’t have a birth certificate matching their current legal name.

SCOTUS LEGALIZES CRIME*
*For them and their friends
Need to get pain relief stuff for Ma (it's topical cannabis, yes). Hoping to raise $50 for it, as we are in the super skint part of the month. RTs appreciated
I keep saying how trans people have the unique ability to drive some folks insane but this is a perfect example of it. The Knicks owner personally stalked a trans woman going to Knicks games for years using his panopticon surveillance at MSG, solely b/c she's trans.

I have negative patience for "it's not fair" what is fair about the nearly impenetrable supermajorities republicans built in the NC or WI state legislatures and their current president thinks it is illegal for him to lose elections
fuck outta here
unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can
The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements.
The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.
This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

We invented a mechanism where some unelected group decides social and national policy in a fully arbitrary and capricious way back in ancient times, and the thing is we invented the judiciary to explicitly not be that
The point of the Court is to maintain general confidence in the lawfulness of the government
By creating a mechanism, as fair as it can be made, for ensuring that lawless measures do not go into effect
In the absence of this function, everything breaks down. Sound familiar?
Hey uhhhh pop quiz, anyone think the Supreme Court has the qualities that can make people feel this way, now?
But IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT, they need to believe that the Court is indeed deciding cases honestly, according to law. That all that could have been done to give the losing side a fair hearing, given the basic conditions of pluralism, has in fact been done
