the Tom Homan bribery scandal is the latest example of how a felon in the White House is making crime legal

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Promoting leucovorin as a treatment for autism is similar to how some touted ivermectin as a COVID-19 antidote. Nonsense. Show me true scientific studies or shut the hell up. What is leucovorin? Researchers mixed on Trump, RFK Jr.'s potential answer to autism. www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

Since RFK Jr & his hideous boss are recommending that childhood vaccines be spaced out more, it's important to remember that the current schedule is well tested & known to be safe. An arbitrary schedule made up by parents is not. Please share excellent advice from Dr. Paul Offit:

Yup.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

!!ACETAMINOPHEN IS SAFE TO USE IN PREGNANCY AT APPROVED DOSES!! How embarrassing for HHS to endorse any other message. End of message. #FDT #FRFKJR #🍊💩🐒 #🪱🧠

Trump wraps up his batshit news conference by again insisting "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL!"

> This country is growing more psycho by the day. What will you do about it? Arrested without interviewing the complaining party.

OK, we got the Antifa "order," and it's weak. It cites no specific laws. I imagine, this was the drafting process: Boss: Quick, Trump said something, what can we do? Lawyer: Basically nothing, other than enforce laws? Boss: Hmm. Well, make it sound like something, OK? Lawyer: I'll ... try?

The only way a pregnant woman can take Tylenol is if Johnson & Johnson gives a $1M donation to trump.

"in generations" ==> "ever"

I feel like her lawyer should just use oral arguments as an opportunity to berate the justices for their hackery.

#ImpeachSCOTUS6 -- they are entirely corrupt

Re-upping my post from earlier this year about how ridiculously thin the Court's embrace of the "unitary executive theory" in these cases has been: www.stevevladeck.com/p/153-living...

#ImpeachSCOTUS6 come January, 2027 or 2029 (latest)

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

🤬 *STILL* one thousand one hundred sixteen days.

Let me be more blunt than usual. In the days since the Kirk "backlash," I've seen measurable declines in the amount of vigor and resistance many dems are willing to demonstrate on social media. Let's be clear...if this is you...you are contributing the expedited rate of destruction of freedom. Fact

Wild guess (ok, I know): Leavitt is not a lawyer in that she doesn't understand a necessary element of entrapment is enticing the bad actor to do the bad act. Homan was all in. And Homan did take the sack of money, so bad on both facts and law.

ICE removing flight transponders like they're characters in Con Air.

Criminals often feel wronged for being held legally accountable for their crimes. Their freedom to commit crimes has been violated by law enforcement.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I seem to remember similar arguments made mid-January in 2021. How'd that turn out?

Make America Grift Again.

Indeed! Exactly right! If you're open and up front about your corruption, then it's all good and proper.

This anecdote from Miles Taylor about Stephen Miller allegedly suggesting drone strikes on boats of migrants during Trump 1.0 seems relevant given the recent US lethal strike on a vessel in the Caribbean. www.treason.io/p/read-one-s...

A thorough take-down of C̶a̶r̶r̶ tRUmp crossing a giant red line in their quest to force broadcasters to obey. Sufficiently well packed that Oliver minimized his non-sequiturs. And sage advice for Disney (Bob Iger).

DO NOT FORGET: There. Is. No. Bottom. So stop expecting or looking for one.

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

This is absolute garbage behavior. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

@Schiff.senate.gov @Padilla.senate.gov -- shut it down

Tom Homan announces that he can get companies H-1B visas for only $50,000.

@indivisible-scc.bsky.social of course this list includes Panetta.

@USRepJimmyPanetta - this is you. You were wrong to do this. You are not properly representing the people of Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Clara Counties. @indivisible-scc.bsky.social we need to primary this guy.

@northjules.bsky.social So why disable reposting of this? I like the GIF. @Schiff.senate.gov @Padilla.senate.gov -- please stand strong!

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

The star he really wanted.

Garland is a lifelong Republican and was originally recommended by McConnell before Obama took McConnell's recommendation and McConnell did a 180 flip on Garland. That's the punchline, GOP makes Dems fight to install the GOP's guy anyway, like tricking Dems into throwing a pie in their own faces.

If you want to fully understand just how lawless Trump's bombings of "drug boats" has really become, check out this pod episode. @bcfinucane.bsky.social is so illuminating in explaining it all:

Major media's urgency level remains at ZERO

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We’ve known this since 2016, even on this side of the pond.

Oopsie

For sure.

(1/2) One component of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump is driven by it. In normal people, those types of impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He is a Black Hole. He enjoys chaos and actually takes glee from others' suffering.
