Child predator as attorney general, man who eats roadkill and had a worm turn what was left of his brain into a block of swiss cheese as HHS head...

I hope instead he picks someone that he fired from the apprentice for being bad at business
This is the guy who’s gonna lead the Trump administration’s response to H5N1
This would all be funny if it weren't for the fact that I live here
Although I liked to meme about 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler as much as the next person…
Truly an accelerationist administration forming. Keep your people close.
I'm going to do the reddit thing and say the title was ackshually "To Serve Man", but the reason I mention it is that the pun works much better with the uncountable noun "Man" than the countable plural "Humans", because it's more like how we speak of most types of meat, as an anonymous, indifferent material (lamb, beef, pork, chicken), and I think that's kind of interesting.
I was attempting to riff on the name of "Health and Human Services" but "human" probably still would've worked better than "Humans"
The surgeons did some cranial reshaping when they went in to get the worm.
confirmation processes will test the loyalty of Senate Republicans.
Not to worry, I'm sure they'll pass with flying colors.
Chris Hayes post
RFK announcement puts a fine point on something I've been trying to articulate and is a theme of the Trump years. It's something I've wrestled with and that a lot of Dem messaging has gotten wrong. Part of what Trump does is constantly divide the country along the lines of pro-system and anti-system.
And because Trump is such wrecking ball, you end up in this defensive posture of pro-system, pro-status quo. HHS/FDA is a great example.
Of COURSE the US food and drug system is captured and bad in a million different ways: from nutritional recommendations, which are often laughably wrong or corrupted to our outrageous regime of drug patenting etc.

Oh yeah, only Trump does that.🙄
He’s going to send out pills to every American to take containing brain worm eggs.
Too much work. Just slash all the funding at the water and wastewater treatment plants.
What is it with these RFK style "health" freaks and being against antidepressants? Its like the one thing enabling probably millions at this point to cope with the effects of capitalism. Exercise and organic produce is not a cure all
Put the Ancient Apocalypse guy in for Department of Education. Rogan is press secretary of course.
God, that Graham Hancock guy would have an absolute blast purging the archaeologists. I never did figure out what he thinks they did to him. I feel like fewer archaeologists hated him before he started complaining about the Deep Archaeology State like it's a pack of wild Mayor Petes coming after his dog.
oh yeah lets do this speedrun baybeeonly plus side is maybe stuff like kratom can be protected from scheduling a bit longer? he seems like he might be down with "natural" opioid "cures"
especially since Pelosi likely is on the way out and her kid is basically the director of the kratom lobby group
but then again he might push hard to get rid of it because he had an addiction so idk
yeah but there is a new "study" being done through HHS right now which could determine a new attempt at scheduling
