A reminder that a majority rejected Trump's attack on Iran last year. In this CNN poll it was 44% approve, 56% disapprove.
A fun nugget - just 9% support sending ground troops into Iran. Hard to see how more chaos and adventurism is going to return his STRENGTH.

Another one now is urging people to get vaccinated, as measles cases rise in SC. First it was Dr. Oz. As unvaccinated children attend school, outbreaks will increase. 950 reported cases in SC. Again, preventable. Thinking about how many encephalitis cases will be reported.

Judges have rebuked Trumpโs mass detention of immigrants thousands of times
A new Reuters investigation found hundreds of judges intervening in the prolonged detention of immigrants without criminal records.
Hundreds of judges across the nation have ruled over 4,400 times that President Donald Trumpโs immigration enforcement arm is detaining people unlawfully, according to a new Reuters review of court documents.
And thatโs just since October.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spokeโฆ there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while youโre standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Verge headline: It doesn't matter if Alex Pretty had a gun

Photo by Steven Garcia depicts several masked law enforcement agents soaked in red light at night
"Why is it so normal for law enforcement โ those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order โ to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?"

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

This is apparently on X. I have a few concerns: 1) why is DHS sending photos of (alleged) evidence that should be in a secure chain of custody that is now lying on a car seat??? and 2) being armed does not on its own justify the use of deadly force โ there has to be evidence he was trying to use it

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, โItโs like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?โ as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICEโs own training materials say they canโt be used for a search of a home!
Hereโs a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

DeGette Introduces Bill to Protect NIH From Political Interference

YES! A step in the right direction. After a horrendous year for science & the #NIH, it is imperative to protect it from political interference. NIH's success is due to decisions based on science, not political ideology.
