'They should not be in a prison': Sen. Mark Kelly after ICE detention visit Kelly said his meetings with two women detained at the Eloy immigration detention center show the flaws of arresting as many immigrants as possible, even if they pose no threat.

At Eloy Detention Center, Kelly met with a Peoria restaurant owner who employs 70 people, has no criminal record but could be deported any day. "Why would we throw this woman out of the country? She's not a risk to anyone. She's putting food on the table for 70 families." tucson.com/news/local/s...

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

HHS cites list of studies as scientific justification for cancellation of mRNA vaccine contracts HHS officials are citing an extensive list of studies purported to document harms caused by mRNA vaccines as scientific justification for canceling contracts.

“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” Secretary Kennedy said earlier this week, when he announced he was discontinuing #BARDA investments in #mRNA vaccines. More on the science he relied on. www.statnews.com/2025/08/08/k...

"Right now we're developing a universal vaccine at NIH, which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses."

OK, so not only does RFK Jr. clearly have no understanding of how a vaccine works, but he also has no idea what he is funding. 🤦‍♀️

"how can i make this about me"

What Do We Owe Andry? Our country sent this young man and hundreds of others to a foreign gulag to be tortured and sexually assaulted.

"A real test for the next administration will be what it does with this hornet’s nest left behind by Trump....The next president will still be saddled with a broken immigration system, but also individuals, including U.S. citizens, who did everything by the book but still had their rights violated."
