Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket. RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!

ACIP falls. The pattern is clear. Each move, from the ACIP dismissals, to the Covid vaccine walk-backs, to the FDA policy shifts, is from the same playbook. Question the existing expertise, cite questionable evidence, then dismantle established processes. caitlinrivers.substack.com/p/acips-enti...

💉 The #HPV #vaccine isn’t just safe — it’s revolutionary. A major Swedish study found it cut cervical cancer by nearly 90% when given before age 17. We’re not just preventing infections — we’re eliminating a cancer. #VaccinesWork #HPV #CervicalCancer #PublicHealth www.cancer.gov/news-events/...

As expected, RFK Jr. was lying during his confirmation hearing and now is ratfucking the vaccination system in the US. The vast majority of the public does not want this and yet again it’s clear that the Republican administration does not serve the electorate.

This story is horrifying. Scammers got people to pay thousands of dollars to hire a fake lawyer. To keep the scam going and keep the money flowing, the scammers also set up fake USCIS appointments, fake ICE check-ins, and fake court hearings. Worse, they told one guy to skip his real court hearing.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

I wrote a @washingtonpost.com op-ed: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... The GOP should raise the debt ceiling by $24 trillion. Their strategy in OBBBA is to set in motion that much in deficits through 2034 but then engineer debt ceiling fights when the UST needs to borrow. Insult, meet injury.

Since the New Deal, conservatives have been arguing that the U.S. faced an existential crisis. It was always, to borrow one of their favored phrases, “5 minutes till midnight.” Many took proposed expansions of the safety net or of civil rights as portending socialism or civilizational collapse./1

Trump’s immigration actions are a classic bait & switch. He campaigned on deporting violent criminals. Instead, he’s deporting moms with their (sometimes American citizen) kids, good neighbors & hard workers; people who pay taxes & provide the labor we need.

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.
