If only Justin Castro would comply and remove the mandates. It's probably simpler than enacting an "Emergency Powers" Act.

What would you do if the government froze your assets? Would you have enough money laying around for food and gas? For how long?

Not joking.

It's like members of the Cabinet are literally daring the President to make some of these appointments, and he's too detached to understand.


Anyone else wondering about the tail?

"So much of the identity of what is meant to be a Democrat, to follow 'the science,' was tied up in masking and following these rules and regulations. And if you didn’t do that, you were you know, a bad person, you were Ron DeSantis, you were a denier."

Bahaha - Is there literally anyone who is surprised by this?

PARIS — A French modeling agent linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his prison cell on Saturday, the Paris prosecutor's office told NBC News.

It appeared that Jean-Luc Brunel, 75, “died by suicide because he was discovered dead from hanging himself with his sheets,” they said in a telephone call.
