Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

Who thinks the entire United States government is illegitimate?

As the death toll rises from the Ebola outbreak in central Africa, NBC News' Dr. Akshay Syal breaks down what to know about the specific type of Ebola, Bundibugyo, that's causing the infections.

I'm extra emotional today, but reading that Kimmel and Fallon are not airing new shows tomorrow so that Colbert will have no competition for his final show made me burst into tears. To be so respected is well deserved.

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

Medical evidence can take about 17 years to change everyday clinical practice.

Trump DoJ is calling the Trump-IRS voluntary motion to dismiss a ”settlement,“ but AFAICT no court is involved, there’s no judgment to execute It‘s just an announcement that the DoJ Judgment Fund will set up a system for handing out Treasury cash to J6ers www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

this is essentially just stealing from the treasury

“This case is nothing but a racket designed to take $1.7 billion of taxpayer dollars out of the Treasury and pour it into a huge slush fund for Trump at DOJ to hand out to his private militia of insurrectionists, rioters, and white supremacists…”

And in the month of May 2026, the Emperor made the implicit explicit, as he declared a portion of the Treasury monies to simply be his, to do with as he saw fit for the benefit of his allies. And both his lawyers and the clerks of the Treasury agreed that this should be done.

2026-05-18 23:32:25 - The U.S. Treasury Department auctioned three-month Treasury bonds, with a bid interest rate of 3.6% and a bid-to-bid ratio of 3.17. The six-month Treasury bonds were auctioned, with a bid interest rate of 3.615% and a bid multiple of 3.07.

$1.776 as in 1776. As in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by robbing the Treasury to reward those who are destroying the country

He did say before the presidential election, “Vote for me this one time Christians and you’ll never have to vote again, we’re going to fix it so you’ll never have to vote again” Am I the only one who remembers this??

The powerful forces trying to dominate our country want us to fall into cynicism. That way, they win everything — and they'll be able to take it all without the rest of us putting up a fight. If you are worried about the future, you are not alone. I am too. But please do not fall into cynicism.
