Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian Oโ€™Hara says heโ€™ll fire city police officers if they donโ€™t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

This is great. Very few people want to go to jail, get disbarred or die for this regime. Make them fight you. They will cave.

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.

The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.

This guy has got to go.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

There are so many holes in DHSโ€™s story itโ€™s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriendโ€™s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see sheโ€™s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams โ€œI am a US citizen,โ€.

Why is ICE harassing women?

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floydโ€™s neck, in that itโ€™s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

There isnโ€™t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline:
Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons.

The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community.

The Democrat Womenโ€™s Caucus delivered a fiery #CupOfJoe full of reality.

If Republicans donโ€™t vote to extend the ACA tax credits, millions of people will see their health insurance premiums skyrocket.

Just out of interest, is RFK Jr currently licensed to practice law anywhere? Where? Is there any interest in disbarring him?

Maine Medical Association condemns new CDC decision on hepatitis b vaccine for newborns The new panel of vaccine advisers to the CDC, installed under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have voted to stop recommending the vaccine.

In a stunning move that has public health experts on edge, the CDCโ€™s vaccine advisory panel has voted to dismantle one of the most protective safeguards in modern pediatrics: the universal hepatitis B birth-dose.

Trump orders review of childhood vaccine schedule, calls U.S. an โ€˜outlierโ€™ His announcement came hours after CDC advisers eliminated a long-standing recommendation for every newborn to receive a hepatitis B shot.

Trump calls for reviewing childhood vaccine schedule

RFK's handpicked CDC advisers roll back recommendation for newborns to get Hep B shots.

One CDC adviser who dissented: โ€œWe will see hepatitis B infections come back."

Analysis of the latest ACIP meeting at the CDC: Vaccinesโ€”and rigorous scienceโ€”are increasingly under attack. A close look at how the CDCโ€™s vaccine advisory committee under RFK Jr. again changed high-stakes recommendations without solid evidence.

Friends, Yesterday and today, I watched many hours of the CDCโ€™s meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

It was painful.

But we learned a lot.

That bad news is that our kids are going to pay the price for RFK jrโ€™s views.

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to beโ€”or want their children to beโ€”vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.

the Nazis made use of German Shepherds in the same way against the Jews. Now don't blame the dog. I had a beautiful & gentle German Shepherd but those ICE dogs have been trained to maim & kill. I have no doubt this is on DHS.

Dog and cat bites MUST get immediate medical care or they most certainly will become infected. This is so disturbing, that must have been so scary for his family to witness and so painful for him to go through ๐Ÿ˜ž

Thereโ€™s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worstโ€”he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

I am calling for Wilmerโ€™s immediate release from NWIPCโ€”he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires.

I am grateful for Wilmerโ€™s willingness to let me share his story.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to fleeโ€”his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The US Federal CDC is dead.
Australia is getting a CDC of their own to completely cut usage of the US recommendation.
And so do many states in the US.

I think the case for ANYTHING coming out of this Freakโ€™s mouth being delusional, is pretty clear now. THE worst thing you can do now for your health is to follow JFK jrโ€™s LIES and DISTORTIONS.

The CDC is a joke.

People who listen to him and do not vaccinate their children think they are doing it to protect them. Kennedy knows that some of these children will die from infectious diseases.
