The Army will bring in 9,000 soldiers. That jaw-dropping amount could cover a year's salary and benefit costs for 307 federal employees. There are so many other things, but Trump's ego needs massaging. And he's not allowing any protesters, or he's gonna beat you up. Maybe he'll slap you upside the head with a copy of the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment. June 11, 2025 at 6:10 AM EDT Pretty clever of Newsom to catch this, and then tie it to questions about Trump's mental competence!

June 11, 2025 at 5:58 AM EDT So We're Shooting Reporters Now In Los Angeles? Thanks, Trump! That'll do wonders for America's image abroad, tourism and basic American unity. Not that Donald J. Trump the detritus you try not to step in while in a dog park, ever gave two shits about that. In Trump's America, the free press--especially foreign ones not corporatized like ours who tell the truth--isn't the Fourth Estate, it's target practice.

Via the Washington Post: In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said he decided to retire the 17 independent vaccine experts from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices because the panel has been "plagued with persistent conflicts of interest" and has become a "rubber stamp" for vaccines. Doctors and pharmacists look to the committee's recommendations to decide which shots to offer. June 10, 2025 at 2:55 PM EDT This is undoubtedly deliberate. They've got orders to target the media and anyone recording the events. No one with half a brain does this, without knowing they'll receive no punishment, because the photographer could have lost an eye or worse. Shooting reporters is what happens in dictatorships.
