Brain worm claiming dozens of people in Southwest have been injured by measles vaccine (lie). He blamed victims got measles due to poor diet (no evidence of poor diet and measles caused by virus). He claimed "miraculous" cures from Vitamin A (no evidence and high doses of Vitamin A are toxic) and antibiotics (measles is caused by virus. Antibiotics do not work against viruses. Biology 101.)

Hey hey RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The continued propagation of such alternative facts is going bring harm and yes possibly death to many children from measles and other viruses/outbreaks.

Our children should not be the victims of such lies and divisive politics. We can not let conspiracy theory take away from the true care they need to support their health.

RFKjr backed down when it came to the measle outbreak in Texas. Hopefully, he will see the truth in other cases too, of which unfortunately their will undoubtedly be more during this administration.
 
I know we have a couple people in the steel industry on the boards here. I wonder how they're feeling about the new 50% tariff that was announced. I have a feeling this is going to hit the manufacturing industry harder than expected.

Pardon attorney at Department of Justice was asked to compile list of people who had received pardons who should have gun rights restored. She put together a list of 90 people. All with conviction for nonviolent crimes, all convictions were years in the past and all individuals had lived exemplary lives since. She was then asked to select nine who could be publicly presented, which she did. She was then told to add Mel Gibson to the list. She did not as he did not fit criteria. She was told he is a friend of Trump, no other criteria needed, and fired

My suppliers have been telling me prices will go up. But a lot of people in the steel industry absolutely love Trump... So I'm getting mixed signals. Some are saying not much steel goes through Mexico or Canada.

Prices have definitely been coming up.... Hasn't been a huge hit yet. Of course, the tariffs haven't hit yet...

If they absolutely love Trump the steel prices going up won’t change their mind. It’s a cult

Yep. It's pretty maddening sitting in the office listening to it.

Depressing.

On the other hand, Democrats need to be better. It is so hard to get anything done in blue states as a business or a developer.

Look at Californias High Speed Rail. It's been in the works since the 80s... Still nothing.

The homeless problems. There's nothing stopping us from building up except us. We don't need more land. We need taller buildings. Or we need to convert office space.

There are solutions. Democrats just aren't interested in finding those solutions for some reason.

I feel like if Democrats would get that figured out and focus on universal education, universal healthcare, a great social safety net, and data based police and judicial system they'd win in a walk.

But they seem to want to break everything down into these small little battles that only a few people care about. Yes everybody has some of those small little things that they care a lot about. But simply following those guidelines would pretty much solve (or at least positively impact) everything else...

<Sigh>
 
Environmental Protection Agency will close all environmental justice offices. They were part of a program to address differences in pollutants in rich and poor communities and to regulate industries that dump toxic pollution in low income and Black and Latino communities.

His approval on the economy is already going down. There are diehards on both sides, but the majority will leave him if he doesn't handle it.
 
An American citizen child was deported along with her parents, farm workers. She had been receiving treatment for brain cancer. The treatment is not available in Mexico. She will die.

Feel safer?

unfortunately those policies might upset one (1) billionaire so they can’t do any of it. We’re being governed by oligarchs either way…
 
A highly skilled kidney transplant surgeon on staff at Brown University medical center visited family in Lebanon. On her return, she was denied entry by immigration. She has a valid visa, clean record. No reason given for detaining her. Attorney sought emergency stay of deportation, which a judge granted. She was deported anyway.

Pretty messed up.

Trump administration openly defying the law because the law can do nothing to them.
 
Milwaukee woman, legal permanent resident and mother of American citizen children, was deported to Laos, a country she has never been to, where she knows no one and doesn't speak the language. An ethnic Lao born in Thailand, she was arrested for, drumroll, marijuana possession. She took a plea to spend two years in jail with understanding it would not affect her immigration status.

She does not have access to her insulin for diabetes or her medication for hypertension. The military government is holding her passport. She has no money.

I knew Clackamas county cops were strict. But that’s a whole new level
 
Trump declared pardons issued by Biden to protect members of January 6 committee are invalid. Claims with no evidence Biden did not actually sign them and didn't know what they were. That he can and will order prosecutions of those who investigated assault on Capitol.

Now he thinks he can undo pardons of past presidents?
 
Small town boy from Wisconsin meets beautiful girl from Peru. They fall in love. They get married. They return from honeymoon in Puerto Rico. Woman is detained by ICE, put in internment. All the money they had saved for a new house gone in legal bills.
He voted for Trump. Never thought face eating leopard party would eat his face.
