“ Symptoms of Oropouche infection are typical of many viruses and usually last a week: fever, rash, muscle aches, headache. But some cases can be more severe, causing encephalitis and meningitis —inflammation of the brain and its surrounding membrane that can cause it to swell. And as with Zika, a mother can transmit the virus to the fetus during pregnancy — which can lead to birth defects and even fetal death.

This is the new Covid welcoming Trump, and we might have RFK Jr. in charge of HHS;

“ So far in 2024 there have been over 10,000 cases, mainly in South America and the Caribbean. The vast majority are in Brazil. By contrast, the total Oropouche count in Brazil recorded between 2015 and 2022 was 261. Of the 21 recorded cases in the United States, all involved an individual who had traveled to Cuba and contracted the virus there.”

Looks like the Oklahoma’s state superintendent of schools doesn’t know the Constitution, good for all those school districts that won’t obey !!

“ Unfortunately for Walters, the state attorney general says that he can’t require students to watch the video, which also announces the creation of a new Department of Religious Freedom and Patriotism, and at least seven of Oklahoma’s school districts say they won’t show it. ”

I'm going to say this and I hate to say it.

Since he withdrew, Biden has just looked defeated.

This should be a time where he is going all out to Trump-proof as much of our nation as he possibly can, and instead it just appears he is doing nothing at all.

He has changed, very noticably, from a spritely grandpa full of piss and vinegar to a beaten old man. And it's sad to see.

I had hoped he would spend his lame duck period laying all kinds of landmines and poison pills. I'm disappointed.

She has a point !!

“ During her Halifax appearance, Tsai argued that Ukraine's success against Russian aggression would serve as a global deterrent.

"A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression," she said.”

A simple google search shows that corporate media doesn’t mention that he is a Christian nationalist.

This is a thread.

Trump just appointed this guy Russell Vought who is a Christian nationalist for a position to run the White House budget office again ( he is a co-author of the Project 2025).

Politico published an article about this guy at the beginning of the year and that he is a Christian nationalist.

Trump promised in his campaign “ drill, baby, drill” but oil producers want the oil where it is , underground, what they want is the elimination of Biden’s policies to put more electric vehicles on the road, among other things.

So let’s rely on a bunch of tier 3-4 candidates to tell us their dirty laundry.
Give me a break!

Do FBI and deep background vetting. If the transition team won’t, the senate should order it and confirmation is withheld until they see a report.
Of course TFG can get around that in a number of ways once he’s in office.

“ According to two Republicans close to Trump, the transition team is quietly preparing a list of alternative defense secretary candidates should Trump abandon Hegseth. “It’s becoming a real possibility,” one of the sources says. The second source tells me that transition members are frustrated that Hegseth failed to disclose he had paid a financial settlement to a woman who alleged he raped her at a Republican women’s event in 2017. ”

“ The Trump Transition Team continues to refuse to sign Transition of Power documents with the White House and GSA. Why? So they can avoid FBI background checks on their nominees.”
