Deranged chaos agent anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. just instructed HHS to cancel over $700M in funding with Moderna to help develop a vaccine for various flu strains that would trigger future pandemics including the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus. This would be called murder.

They know sars2 is airborne, yet they don't even mention respirators nor any NPI. In the 6th year of this pandemic, do you get why they are silent about breaking chains of transmission? Do wear a respirator, ventilate/filtrate air, test, & avoid crowds.

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

When do we start all the winning? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

There have been 102 wildfires in Manitoba this year. The Province has never had to fight so many different fires at once. The climate is changing, the Premier said. Fires continue to spread in Central and Western Canada. www.redcross.ca

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

BREAKING: US federal judge allows DOGE to takeover $500 million office building for free. In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday.

Another reminder that if you can vote in the Wisconsin or Florida elections, please do so.

If you're not watching, and you can tune in, it's well worth giving your attention: www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

👀 There is an emergency hearing happening *right now* in Va. over an effort to question a lawful permanent resident from Afghanistan whose brother as charged in an assassination plot against an Iranian journalist. Judge says he's being held at Dulles. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Making the wrong turn on the highway shouldn't lead to days of detention without access to a lawyer. This is a direct result of the Trump administration's anti-immigrant policies.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

The London airport, which is one of the world’s busiest for international travel, said it expects “significant disruption over the coming days” and warned passengers not to come until it reopens.

Numerous Social Security numbers — including those belonging to a U.S. ambassador, congressional staffers and intelligence researchers — were revealed to be included in the trove of J.F.K papers released.

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

I spend a lot of time with my face buried in my hands these days: youtu.be/ubBnUCXj4iM?...

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

And if measles wasn’t enough Tuberculosis says, “Hey US…hold my beer!” theconversation.com/as-tuberculo...

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION: My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then, "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Because who cares about sewage in our drinking water, right? The US supreme court has weakened rules on the discharge of raw sewage into water supplies in a 5-4 ruling undermining the 1972 Clean Water Act. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Happy Harriet Tubman day! Decent article about a Democrat trying to get her on the $20 dollar bill. That also talks about her important historical contributions to freeing Black slaves. Even though this has a snowballs chance in hell, at least Dems are pushing for it !! www.npr.org/2025/03/10/n...

Ugly stuff.
