Pneumonic plague escaped a Siberian lab while Moscow accused Ukraine of bioweapons. The irony writes itself, but the biosafety record doesnt.

I really hope whatever is happening in Russia stays in Russia, because the Trump admin isn’t equipped for a public health emergency. 📌 A worker at an anti-plague research institute in Siberia died after developing pneumonia of unknown origin. Nearly 200 people are reportedly under observation

📌The headlong rush to remove those B-1s from an allied air base in UK is NOT NORMAL. The intelligence necessitating such a chaotic withdrawal must have been daunting, and again points to the shoddy planning that went into this idiotic, unnecessary war. The world is far more dangerous place now.

A Dem House and Senate can fight to re-control appropriations, which is huge. They can impeach his cabinet members and oversee selection of new ones. They can hold hearings and issue subpoenas. And they can make him veto legislation, over and over again.

They can do a lot. By pushing back, they can help states prosecute violations of state laws. They can impeach the AG and refuse to confirm a new one who will not promise to prosecute ICE agents for abuses. They can hold public hearings on where detainees are being sent, with subpoenas.

A Dem-held House and Senate can hold a giant microscope up on ICE abuses. They can puncture the secrecy and make GOP legislators own the abuses, which contributes to political pressure to rein them in. Sunshine disinfects, remember.

But Trump's abuses are not happening via legislation. They are executive orders and executive branch action. The only big legislation that's contributed was to give huge funding to ICE. So a Congress that pushes back can do a lot.

"Framing" is about criminally making allegations to the FBI about bribery, which were a key part of why Hunter's plea deal fell apart. This has literally nothing to do with rhetoric, though it does have a lot to do with lockstep GOP unity.

Remarkable: an industry that is dying because it can't compete in the market writes a Republican president, asking him to keep the industry alive by brute force, and he says, ok. What would it take for the GOP to lose its reputation as the "free market" party? Seriously, what would it take?
