Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE โ€” not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Iโ€™m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

โ€œI spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.โ€ - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

A major coastal storm is headed our way tonight and into Monday, which is likely to bring heavy winds and rainfall. Please take precautions!

Below, Acynโ€™s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: โ€œIf you look at polling, peopleโ€™s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they donโ€™t see that itโ€™s being done well.โ€

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Houston: Missing teen with autism reportedly in ICE custody The family of a Houston teen who went missing tells FOX 26 that he had been in ICE custody for days.

To be clear, this was a kidnapping and the agents should be charged.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Trump is so screwing American consumers and the US economy, you'd THINK Republicans would revolt, kick him to the curb. But NOTHING. He can rape, ravage, and destroy, all with support from the GOP/MAGA.
