I hope you understand that if you show up at a hospital with an infection no one has ever seen before that the US had somewhere you could call. That place would answer, offer testing you canāt get anywhere else and come visit you to solve if necessary.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
On his first day back in the White House, Trump granted clemency to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That pardon gave them their freedom and even seemed to satisfy their initial calls for revenge.
This text is quoted accurately. It is also a clarifying lie. Totalitarian governments know that normal people do not have time or resources to research every health, economic, or security issue. Their project of attacking all expertise is a project of seizing trust & thus power for themselves.
After six GOP governors volunteered to send their National Guard troops to D.C., Democracy Docket reporter @jimsaksa.com reached out to ask how they would feel about troops being deployed in their own states. Hereās what they had to say ā¤µļø

NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
I went to listen to Peteās federal forum yesterday at the Nebraska State Fair. He touted $50 billion for rural hospitals, but failed to mention rural hospitals are projected to lose about $150 billion. Heās giving us $30 but taking away $100. Total B.S.
Host: Democratic Congresswoman Luz Rivas is introducing a bill that would require ICE to notify family members if a detainee is being moved within 24 hours. She made the move after ICE snatched a high school senior while walking his dog and moved him out of state without his parents' knowledge

Your reminder that 350+ LEOs stood outside in fear of one kid with an assault rifle in Uvalde and allowed him to kill so many school children. They don't do shit. We had multiple city cops at my "inner city" high school and they didn't do one goddamn thing the entire time I was there.

Language matters:Farage is not being 'attacked'( @theguardian.com)for his illegal deportation plans and incendiary language.

When I was the elected prosecutor in KC, if asst prosecutors repeatedly took cases to the grand jury that were not indicted there would be consequences. It would mean that they were trying to indict people with insufficient evidence which is unacceptable and wrong.

Now that the shooter has been identified as a white male who was radicalized in part by previous white nationalist, racist shooters who promoted anti-semitic conspiracies that MAGA and the GOP promote....I expect him to fall out of the news cycle like Vance Boelter...remember him?

Vaccines do not cause autism.
The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.
