Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the president’s own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?

We will know more by noon today about the Trans Minnesota shooter than we will about the kid who shot at Trump over a year later.

On this day in 1963, my mother and grandmother — and about 250,000 others — marched on Washington.

Photograph showing massive crowds of people on The Mall, starting at the Lincoln Memorial, going around the Reflecting Pool, and continuing to the Washington Monument, at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. At this event, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.

And dog your members of Congress. I don't care if they are Republicans or Democrats. Show up at their offices every week. Bang on about CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS (and learn about these agencies, what they do, how they function in normal times). 14/

Between last fall and today, there have been over 3 million out-patient visits, over 300,000 hospitalizations and over 30,000 deaths from COVID. This data comes from a presentation at the the June ACIP meeting extrapolated forward. Now there will likely be more as RFK Jr. consolidates his power. 4/

Trump’s hatchet man left out a few details when citing an Obama DOJ case he uses to try and justify his selective targeting of Trump’s political opponents with an agency that is supposed to be non-political.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social: A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

In a remarkable development, after Sec. RFK Jr.’s ouster of the CDC director, four more high-ranking officials have reportedly resigned. Letters from them include warnings that the agency’s mission has been compromised, with anti-vaccine policies and other growing misinformation. trib.al/D2guwih
