BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines?

DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines

BASH: Oh, come on

A simple proposal for federal judges frustrated that Trump Regime isn’t freeing people in response to habeas corpus orders:

Order that DHS bring each individual to court for their habeas hearing. If the judge grants habeas, the petitioner walks out free.

Bonus: huge pre-hearing burden on feds.

This looks to be an extraordinary overperformance for Dems. With more than three-fourth of the vote in, the Dem leads by more than 20%.

Democrat Chasity Martinez has defeated Republican Brad Daigle in the Louisiana State House District 60 Special Election.

HELL YEAH! A Trump +12 district.

Okay but! “Kid” Rock is 55. As someone who is also no longer young, I fully support redefining kid to mean middle aged!

Puerto Ricans are Americans you idiots.

Louisiana State House District 60 Special Election

DEM: Chasity Martinez - 59%
REP: Brad Daigle - 41% 6 of 50 precincts reporting.

Trump +13 district. This is shaping up to go blue! We do not for sure, but this exactly where dems want to be and Reps do not at this point! (They are still counting)

My mom had already passed, but I really needed that at the time.

The big WOW people missed because they aren’t old yet is she wanted to add it to Medicare, not Medicaid. HUGE! Medicaid makes you spend down assets first. This didn’t, so you could still leave your house to your kids! HUGE

To be fair local FBI offices still kick ass.

Most *field agents* are competent, professional & doing real work every day. Federal FBI is a disaster right now. For sure.

MAGA: “I ain’t watching the halftime show!!!! I’m watching the pro-family TPUSA one headlined by KID ROCK MAGAAA!!!!”

Kid Rock song:

“ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)”

RED ALERT!

I was gassed by agents yesterday after they threw canisters out of their car in a residential neighborhood. I crouched behind a snowbank, coughing chemicals up.

Demanding Support for Trump, Justice Dept. Struggles to Recruit Prosecutors

I served with the U.S. Attorneys Office in LA for almost 6 years.

It was a great office, professional and apolitical.

My heart breaks for the many hundreds of dedicated prosecutors who have been forced to leave rather than engage in unethical conduct.

But they have made the right decision.

People who don't understand the point of tbe blockades in Minneapolis not insert themselves and argue that they're pointless or that they shouldn't exist. They will exist as long as Minneapolis is under federal occupation. They help keep the community safe.

Well, thank god for that at least!

A federal court has blocked Trump’s shutdown of America's biggest critical infrastructure project - which makes sense, since he's violating legal commitments the federal government made in good faith on my watch.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney.

I am not hating it! I should... but here we are.

BTW I am cancer free. It is gone. It didn't hurt. Chemo was mostly just boring. We are all different though. It sucks for a lot people and what stage matters and overall health matters. I was physically fit and continued exercise/fitness throughout. I had no other issues. /end

You won’t even know they killed you. You’ll just get a cancer medicine doesn’t have an answer for. I’m cancer free thanks to research that began in the 80s in rats & led to a chemo drug approved in 1998 under Clinton. Pre 1998, my cancer had poor survival. Now, if caught early, survival is ~98%. /1

YouTube video by CNN Watch Obama roast Trump

The Lion King reference could be from Obama roasting Trump (and Fox news!) in 2011 regarding his birth certificate.

It’s extortion logic straight out of the pre RICO era:

Nice infrastructure you got there... Shame if something happened to it.

It only affects them if the federal action being challenged happens in Texas.

Arrested in another state and handled entirely there is not affected.

Arrested elsewhere but detained or processed in Texas is affected while in Texas.

The arrest location by itself doesn’t matter. Texas custody does.

5th Circuit is one of the most conservative circuits. (Circuit Justice: Alito)

The panel ruling is immediately binding in TX, LA, MS. Likely next: en banc review, (poll all the 5th Circuit judges) then off to SCOTUS.

Judge denies DHS bid to rush removal of Liam Ramos and his family Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of the district where Liam goes to school, said the ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty.”

Breaking MS NOW:

The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance.

California follows the law and we work with ICE to remove violent criminals — not innocent families.

What we especially don't do is play politics with public safety or spread misinformation.
