Hooboy, was that a hearing or what?
Everything the entire time, that is what and when that sumbitch knew it, just like that last sumbitch Nixon knew everything the entire time.
Okay, let’s do this hump day Wednesday before some other big bombshell or bs blows up and rains chaos down on our heads.
Bombshell bs like this… I haven’t read the full ruling, Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, but just on its opening face I can see the absolute devastating result of this bs ruling that has effectively narrowed the scope of, if not outright overturned, 2020’s McGirt v Oklahoma.
We were right. We were always right. Damn it.
@POTUS (Twitter link) finished out Tuesday, June 28th, with seven (7) tweets:
Technically, the first three are Germany’s June 29th, but since we live on this side of the rock they were posted in the evening hours of our June 28th reality and show that date. For the purposes of Biden Bits we will roll with that and put them in the clean up of Tuesday’s Bits.

FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration’s Monkeypox Outbreak Response
JUNE 28, 2022
STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
The fact sheet release reads in part:
For years, the United States has invested in research on monkeypox and in tools to effectively respond to the disease. Monkeypox is a virus that is generally spread through close or intimate contact, with symptoms that include a rash and fever. It is much less transmissible than fast-spreading respiratory diseases like COVID-19, and this outbreak has not caused any deaths in the United States. The virus, however, is spreading in the United States and globally, and requires a comprehensive response from federal, state, local, and international governments and communities. Since the first United States case was confirmed on May 18, President Biden has taken critical actions to make vaccines, testing, and treatments available to those who need them as part of its whole-of-government monkeypox outbreak response.
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced the first phase of its national monkeypox vaccine strategy, a critical part of its monkeypox outbreak response. The vaccine strategy will help immediately address the spread of the virus by providing vaccines across the country to individuals at high risk. This phase of the strategy aims to rapidly deploy vaccines in the most affected communities and mitigate the spread of the disease.
This announcement is a critical component of the Administration’s broader public health response, which includes rapidly scaling up and decentralizing testing alongside continued provider education and community engagement across the country. The Administration’s monkeypox outbreak response is also informed by the multiple times over the last twenty years that the United States has effectively responded to the virus. The United States government’s response is coordinated by the National Security Council Directorate on Global Health Security and Biodefense – more commonly known as the White House Pandemic Office – which President Biden restored on day one of his presidency, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Collectively, the Administration’s efforts aim to expand vaccination for individuals at risk and make testing more convenient for healthcare providers and patients across the country. The Biden-Harris Administration remains committed to working with urgency to detect more cases, protect those at risk, and respond rapidly to the outbreak.

STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
NATO fact sheet release reads in part:
The June 29-30, 2022 NATO Summit in Madrid, Spain will be an historic moment for the Transatlantic Alliance. Building on the President’s first NATO Summit on June 14, 2021, and extraordinary Summits held on February 25, 2022 and March 24, 2022 in response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, this Summit in Madrid will convene all 30 Allied leaders and key NATO partners from Europe and Asia. For the first time, it will include NATO’s Asia-Pacific partners at the leaders level. The Summit will provide an opportunity to advance collective efforts with these Allies and partners to strengthen the rules-based international order. President Biden will reaffirm the United States’ unwavering commitment to the Transatlantic bond and NATO’s Article 5 – that an attack on one is an attack on all. Alongside major new contributions from Allies, the President will also announce at the Summit new stationing of U.S. forces and capabilities in Europe to support NATO and to deter any aggression against our Allies.

That’s a rap for today.
Who knew? 🤷♀️ 😂
National Camera Day is June 29, a day to celebrate the fact that photography, once so complicated it took a scientist to understand, is now part of our everyday lives. The word “photography” is based on two Greek words that, when put together, mean “writing with light.”
