It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
As Newark Liberty International Airport struggled with technological disruptions and staffing shortages, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Sunday that more U.S. airports could face similar disruptions this summer.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms and mother-figures!
Michelle, the girls and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. We love you.
“You can’t gut disease prevention and pretend you’re fighting diabetes. You can’t lay off food safety inspectors and call it a nutrition strategy. You can’t slash mental health and substance abuse grants and claim you’re working to address addiction.” 👏

Over a trillion dollars unaccounted for in the military budget. It's a grift that makes Americans more vulnerable and less healthy.
Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?
How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ?

I mean, don’t all libraries have $400 million luxury jets in their collection?
I'm still not clear why the
@nytimes.com went along the idea that a presidential library owning a jet for the personal use of the ex-president was anything that real presidential libraries do. Weird.
Bribery in plain sight.
Literally had a dream he ☠️ and I went out on my front porch just howling with joy!

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
💯
It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar!

This $400M Plane Is a BRIBE—And Everyone Knows It!

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

Federal agents' seemingly universal adoption of neck gaiters worn just below the eyes like they're robbing the railroad is emblematic of this time in the US
🚨 ICE activity reports for 5/9:
Activity reported at

Moderna's combo Covid and flu mRNA shot outperforms current vaccines in large trial
A combination shot would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against Covid and the flu at the same time.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
