A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

They are associated with Epstein. Robert Mueller didn't care that children were being raped. Have you noticed the die-hard DOJ defenders ignored Epstein for TEN YEARS while defending Mueller/Garland? And now they suddenly care and are contacting victims? They are doing damage control for the DOJ.

The post text reads:
"👀 In canceling the maternal and infant mortality grants, HHS said those issues were no longer a priority for the office and grants would instead focus on 'low sperm count, low testosterone levels and erectile dysfunction.' 👇"
The quoted post by Paige W. Cunningham reads:
"Scoop: HHS's Office of Minority Health has cancelled 16 grants, several focused on maternal/infant health, telling grantees it's pivoting to a focus on the root causes of infertility and promoting exercise. with @EricM_Katz notus.org/health-science..."

Americans are less adept at discerning the mortality of our leaders because they do not fully realize they are living in a mafia state and that basic protocol — like letting the public know where an ailing Senator has been for two months — will not be followed.
Americans lack the great skill of the Uzbeks: mish-mish, which replaced facts so long ago, it became honed into a form of discernment.
When you constantly expect lies but refuse to accept lies (a critical distinction), you become better at finding the truth. Surviving an autocracy means not only believing that the unfathomable is possible, but that it's probably happening, so you better start planning for what comes next.
It is very unpleasant to live in a state run on mish-mish, but at least Uzbeks know it's mish-mish, instead of calling it, like, "The Washington Post" or something.
