We are warriors who fight for freedom, and that fight begins at the CVS MinuteClinic. No more mandatory flu shots for service members. No more state-mandated infractions against bodily autonomy. You hear me? Now, drop and give me twenty.
We’re bringing back the military to the OG hardcore-ness the Founding Fathers experienced: fighting during an outbreak of smallpox. Yes, George Washington inoculated his army, but what if he hadn’t? That’s what we’re about to find out. American progress is all about making discoveries like that. Heroes are born by walking the paths of the scientifically unknown and medically unadvised.

Early in President Trump’s first term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes, and it felt urgent to track them, to ensure these horrors—happening almost daily—would not be forgotten. Now that Trump has returned to office, amid civil rights, humanitarian, economic, and constitutional crises, we felt it critical to make an inventory of this new round of horrors. This list will be updated monthly between now and the end of Donald Trump’s second term.
