A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Many clinical studies have shown reduced cancer risk in people with diabetes of obesity taking GLP-1 family of drugs. A new JCI piece makes the case these drugs should be studied to reduce cancer in people without metabolic disease jci.org/articles/vie...

In 1980, Trump promised to preserve Art Deco sculptures on the stylish 1929 Bonwit Teller department store, which was being demolished to make way for his vulgar Trump Tower.

He lied. He destroyed them.

In 2025, Trump promised to preserve the East Wing.

He lied. He destroyed it. (John Baron👀)

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

The US Army tried portable nuclear power at remote bases 60 years ago – it didn’t go well Nearly 60 years after a radiation-leaking reactor was removed from a US Army base on the Greenland ice sheet, the military is exploring portable nuclear reactors again.

Understand the enthusiasm, but it is worth an examination of the legacy left by the Army’s Nuclear Power Program:

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

VACCINES FOR ALL: Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to New Yorkers who request them, according to plans shared exclusively with Playbook. The Democrat’s executive order will mirror actions taken by other blue state governors this week to protect access to the latest Covid vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration has only granted limited approval of the jab for older adults and individuals considered to be high-risk. That’s prompted Democratic leaders to create their own vaccine guidance and explore ways they can legally protect access to the shot for everyone. “By signing this EO, Governor Hochul is making it clear that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers will still be able to make their own health care decisions and get the care they need from trusted providers in their community,” Hochul spokesperson Kara Cumoletti said in a statement to POLITICO. This morning, POLITICO Pro reported that the Hochul administration is reviewing potential solutions to the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict vaccine access. However, a long-term fix may require legislative changes by lawmakers either through a special session, or when they return to the state Capitol in January. “This temporary order will ensure seamless access while the Governor works with the Legislature on a long-term solution to safeguard preventive care and vaccines,” Cumoletti added. — Katelyn Cordero

Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?

European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over import tariffs Multiple postal services around Europe say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.

ICE Is Constantly Using Coast Guard Planes to Move Immigrants Donald Trump’s deportation henchmen appear to have dramatically increased the use of Coast Guard aircraft to transport immigrants.

The Coast Guard works for ICE now.

Coast Guard planes previously used for search and rescue have done hundreds of secret ICE flights in recent weeks, including two I watched from a public parking lot near BWI.

A Letter to America’s Discarded Public Servants You all deserved better.

Bill Burns: No, this is not about reform. It is about retribution. It is about breaking people and breaking institutions by sowing fear and mistrust throughout our government.... It is about deterring anyone from daring to speak truth to power. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

The fact that CBP was dispatched to menace a press conference by the duly elected governor of California should really put to bed any argument about whether these federal deployments are a response to crime rates. As if it weren't already obvious what this is about.

Well done, Alaska.

Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."

Maga’s era of ‘soft eugenics’: let the weak get sick, help the clever breed At the heart of all Trump administration policies is ‘soft eugenics’ thinking – the idea that if you take away life-saving services, then only the strong will survive

The military veteran population is also at greater risk for many types of cancers. Cuts to NIH sponsored medical research are an absolute travesty, and it reeks of a resurgent eugenics movement cloaked in a cutesy “MAHA” slogan. Thank you for speaking out!

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Thank you for posting this!

Link between flu and Covid-19 with cancer revealed

Oxford BIOBANK + US FlatIron databases. Virus such as Covid and flu increase risk of cancer. New research suggests that respiratory viruses, including Covid-19 and influenza, can awaken dormant cancer cells and cause them to multiply and spread.
