“…his [Trump’s] suggestion that any judge with whom he disagrees should be removed…sparked pushback from Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts… Roberts wrote the Trump v. United States decision of July 1, 2024, establishing that presidents cannot be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of their official presidential duties, and it seems likely that Trump did not expect a rebuke from him.”

“Trump continued his attack on the rule of law today when he fired the two Democratic commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission, which protects consumers from collusion and anti-consumer practices. …the courts have established that the president cannot fire officials in agencies created by Congress without a serious reason like neglect of duties.”

“Trump held a phone conversation today with Russian president Vladimir Putin… During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump boasted that he would end Russia’s war against Ukraine in a day… But Putin seems less eager to reach a solution than to demonstrate his dominance over Trump.”

“Today, when the phone call was scheduled, Putin was on stage at an event. When his interviewer asked if he needed to go because he would be late for the call, Putin dismissed the question and laughter broke out. Brett Bruen, president of the Global Situation Room public relations firm wrote: “Making leaders wait is an old Putin power play. But, this is pretty brutal. Putin is publicly mocking Trump.””

“While Trump’s team portrayed the conversation as productive, Putin maintained that Ukraine was the aggressor in the war, although it was Russia that invaded Ukraine. Putin also demanded that the U.S. and allies must stop all military aid and the sharing of intelligence with Ukraine, conditions that would hamstring Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion.”

“…Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proposed addressing the H5N1 bird flu…by simply letting the disease run rampant. … But veterinary scientists say that letting the virus sweep through flocks is “a really terrible idea, for any one of a number of reasons”…”

“…every infection is a chance for the virus to mutate into a more virulent form, one of which could mutate so it could spread among humans. If H5N1 were permitted to infect 5 million birds, “that’s literally five million chances for that virus to replicate or to mutate,”…”

It's pretty inevitable that Trump and Putin will fall out. Then what will happen?
@janhoglund It’s going to fuse with a human influenza virus to cause massive deaths.
This has already been established by experts.
@janhoglund why don’t they put someone in charge with a brain and an actual medical background?
@janhoglund Great way to start another pandemic!
@janhoglund There are no words for how batshit crazy this is.
