“I find you in criminal contempt for the 10th time,” said Justice Juan Merchan, who said he is concerned that Donald Trump has apparently not taken heed of his prior findings.

Look, the reason the CDC is tracking this is because avian flu is dangerous. Since 2022, only about two dozen human cases have been recorded worldwide, and over half of those have been fatal.

Sen. Tim Scott, who is reported to be on Trump's short list for VP, continues to beclown himself in the service of Dear Leader.
