The people who see themselves as our betters want us to respect their privacy. Then they say less privacy is the cost of security. What they mean is they will retain their privacy and feel secure by having us monitored 24/7.

RFK Jr. just licks every new piece of machinery put into service in the US. He thinks his antibodies can handle all the health and safety concerns.
This should be major news, Trump is so mentally deteriorated he's threatening to use the military against ... the bond market. He's just reacting to keywords, he hears "intervention" and starts threatening military action.
To the surprise of nobody, "It's more important we let Trump get what he wants right this second, if we find out it was illegal later, that's our bad." is the impartial opinion of Chief Justice Roberts.
