Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

As incredibly incompetent and prone to saying outrageous lies as Pam Bondi is, she owes Robert Kennedy Jr. a gift basket for allowing her to avoid the title of "The Worst Person in Trump's Cabinet." Although, in fairness, there are a lot of other people who are actively helping, too.

There are not sufficient un-cowed lawyers to file the lawsuits necessary to stop the raping of America.

“The stuff the American public has lost already—and they didn’t even know they had it—is impossible for most people to understand. The safety nets are being blown up right and left,” the source said. “They’ve disappeared.” insidemedicine.substack.com/p/scoop-leak...

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Last year I wrote a story highlighting Project 2025 & Russell Vought I called “Aiming for Dictatorship.” Trump picked him to run OMB. He’s a dangerous man who supports impounding funds appropriated by Congress if Trump opposes their approved purpose. His goal: “dismantle” the “rogue admin. state.”

Trump placed a single candidate worthy of a cabinet role and the media decides that’s a “settle down, it’s not so bad” moment?Meanwhile the rest of his cabinet is a stew of deranged rats, self identified victims and mad clowns sharpening their claws to grab as much as they can from the treasury.

Ok… I couldn’t do it. The comments on X following the Cabinet of Deplorables announcements were too much and I abandoned X to the Trump Bizarro zombies. Hopefully a community here can generate solid ideas to “Hold the Door” against the Christofascist horde.

You are up to date.
