I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

This is such a good piece: More than anyone except Trump, Miller's personal worldview is reshaping our government. He sets targets that fuel invasive immigration round-ups that are indifferent about how is captured. We have to build a new detention state for the people being rounded up.

In a NYT article, the 250th commemorative celebration of US coins, ignores abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, and Civil Rights Movement. “Mr. Bessent opted instead for the more general, and much whiter. For the Mayflower Compact, a Pilgrim couple staring into the distance.” 1/2

I didn't vote for Trump either time, not because he ran under the Republican banner, but because I knew what kind of man he was. He's proven me right in so many ways during his second term in office, it's sickening and demoralizing to see what he's done to our once proud nation. 🗽

He’s letting white collar criminals walk free: More than 1,000 people submitted statements attesting to their losses…‘hardworking, everyday people,’ including small business owners, farmers, veterans, teachers and nurses. “I lost my whole life savings,” one wrote, “I am living from check to check.”
A tweet by journalist Kenneth P. Vogel stating that David Gentile reported to prison on November 14 to begin a 7-year sentence for a $1.6B fraud scheme, and that former President Donald Trump commuted his sentence 12 days later.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
