(The Atlantic) Fascinating article... I recommend at least the first five to six paragraphs to get the flavor. It focuses on Kash Patel and his efforts to do anything he can to keep Trump happy. Stunning subservience and adulation, not the FBI director. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Is There Anything Kash Patel Won’t Do for Trump Before the Midterms?

Anybody else intrigued how little buzz Trump's new Arch de Me is getting?. Maybe bc nobody can figure out what the f*ck he's talking about -- it's gonna store ammunition and release drones? Like from the columns? Gold eagles shooting lasers from their eyes? Really, does he know AI pics aren't real?

This type of hopeful news on a gene therapy cure for sickle cell disease would go against Trump’s policies, as OMB director Russ Vought says. Why? Because it is DEI. Sickle Cell Disease disproportionally affects African Americans due to an evolutionary trait that helps protect them from malaria.
