But no one alive proves the truth of the concept more than Donald Trump. He's proudly ignorant. The only talent he bothered to learn is cheating the system so that you "win" without ever having to be good at stuff. The only real skill he's developed in his 77 years is utter shamelessness, and frankly, it seems that might be more of a genetic defect than anything he's worked at. The man can't even bother to get good at golf, a sport he does seem to like, [because he prefers to lie about it instead](~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvM2hvNmdzMXJvMy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). [Read more here](~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMzVlYW9xd3RueS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHImbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvaGd6aTh1OHkzMC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvajQ2ZnpibXNzNy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMWhpZDZ6d3poOC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvYnUyNHplMmd3YS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Who benefits from a demented president? From Chauncey DeVega's conversation with Dr. John Gartner: "Our Trump dementia-watch weekly round-up is becoming a regular ritual for one simple reason: Trump can’t go a full week without displaying gross signs of what appears to be dementia. This week he said “Joe Biden beat Barack Hussein Obama. Ever heard of him?” Donald Trump is disoriented. He doesn’t know who the president is, who he’s running against in the primary, or whether E. Jean Carrol is his wife. (I’m not trying to be funny, but it reminds me of the Oliver Sacks book, “The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat.”) In my opinion, this is brain damage. There is no medically credible explanation for these occurrences that doesn’t not involve brain damage, most probably dementia. These telltale signs used to be more intermittent, but his apparent dementia is progressing at an accelerating rate, as is normal for the illness. But at some point, these patients fall off a cognitive cliff and become suddenly incapable of independent living. Given the accelerating rate of Trump’s apparent decline, it’s almost certain he would become incapacitated while in office. The man with the nuclear codes would be wandering around the White House in an angry agitated fog of confusion."

From convenience to crisis: Here's what will happen if the Supreme Court restricts mifepristone From Nicole Karlis: "[T]he U.S. Supreme Court will finally hear oral arguments over the safety of mifepristone — the first drug used in a medication abortion. While experts don’t expect to hear a decision from the highest court right away, one in favor of the plaintiffs — Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine — could severely limit access to mifepristone across the country, even in states where abortions are still legal. This would come at a time when [medication abortion has become a more accessible](~/AASU4wA~/RgRn5S_TP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbHNqcTVyM3gxdi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTc3YzJ4dGltcHJXA3NwY0IKZfzTqgJmZAGIK1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) option in a highly restrictive post-Dobbs landscape.
