US supreme court allows Trump officials to resume deportations to third countries
Conservative majority temporarily lifts lower-court decision as liberal justices dissent from ruling The Trump administration can resume quickly deporting immigrants to a “third countries”, or countries other than those immigrants’ homeland, without giving them any opportunity to contest their removals, the supreme court ruled on Tuesday. The six-justice conservative majority of the high court temporarily lifted a lower-court decision that required the administration to provide immigrants sufficient notice and the opportunity to claim fear of torture or persecution in the countries where they are being sent.

Bird flu. It is bird flu that is the danger here. Do people not get this? Here in the US, we feed our dairy cows chicken shit (which is forbidden in Europe). US dairy herds are therefore infested with avian flu. Drinking raw milk is the fastest way to help that flu jump to be a human pandemic.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...
More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.
