The standard rule of administrative burdens: if you increase the time tax for doing something, you make it less likely that people will do it. That is what the Trump administration is trying to do with vaccines.

Trump and RFK Jr just made life 5x more miserable for every parent of young children and raised the risks that preventable nightmare diseases will return, all in service of nonsense Gift link to @lisamjarvis.bsky.social 's column for @opinion.bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Trump storms out of interview: "You're either crooked or you're stupid…Your elections are crooked. You're crooked. Meet The Press is crooked. And so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN…Alright, let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Not the main point, but can we just say that this is a very odd email exchange for a reporter (Michael Wolff) to conduct with a source (Jeffrey Epstein)? Esp a source who, 7 years pvs, had pled guilty to solicitation of prostitution w/ a minor, and who'd been sued by a victim just 3 months earlier.

So Trump has posted about 20 photos of the refurbished Lincoln Bathroom, which should satisfy the needs of the unemployed and hungry. In addition to looking pretty crummy, I have some questions about this toilet, which will have a great view of the new ballroom and vice versa.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
