You have a commander-in-chief telling the American military that an American city is under "invasion and third world lawlessness...we're not going to let that happen." Truly extraordinary weaponization of the military against the President's domestic opponents.

Pathetic. ABC made it clear with the Stephanopolous settlement that they were more concerned about appeasing Trump than standing their journalists. Even if you think that Moran badly messed up, and I don't, this would never have amounted to a dismissal in an earlier era.

I held off on what I had planned to discuss in “The Week Ahead” tonight to try and give us some baselines for understanding what is happening in Los Angeles. And in the White House. There is a lot of territory to cover here, and it’s complicated, so bear with me. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers. Just process that: Sending in the military to crack down on protesters. We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

It is not a coincidence that ICE/DHS ramped up their terror campaign in LA a week before next week’s #NoKings protests. This was a deliberate escalation in order to provoke a strong community response, giving Trump an excuse to crackdown on protests before a nationwide day of dissent.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

Kennedy, Makary, and Bhattacharya announced on X that they are pulling recommendations for Covid vaccines. They will no longer be part of the childhood vaccination schedule, and they're no longer recommended for pregnant people. There's a process for changing recs. It's not posting a video on X.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

Bhattacharya said, “If it’s true that we sponsored research that caused a pandemic – and if you look at polls of the American people, that’s what most people believe, and I looked at the scientific evidence; I believe it” Reminder that there is still zero objective data that supports the “lab leak”
