So today she said drug traffickers are terrorists. Then what she’s really saying is: Trump pardoned a terrorist when he pardoned Juan Hernandez, a guy convicted in federal court for plotting to pump 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. That’s twenty full 40-foot shipping containers of poison.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.

A U.S. appeals court on Monday upheld a judge's ruling allowing two New York crisis pregnancy centers and a national anti-abortion group to continue telling women about an unproven treatment to reverse the effects of the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking efforts by the state's Democratic attorney general to crack down on what she has called false and misleading statements.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.
