It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
Mamdani getting a kidnapped kid released from ICE in less than a day kinda lays bare the full depravity of the Democrats' "we can't just DO things" mentality for the last year.
"Emergency" rule means 1000s of Floridians will lose access HIV/AIDS medications March 1. Ladapo said the move was needed to fill a budget shortfall made worse by expiring premium tax credits. No other state has made such a drastic change.

They're going to lie about birth control just as they did with trans people.
Simmons' campaign with a comment about this incident, which occurred on Friday in Buena Park:
SCOOP: IL-9 congressional candidate and current state senator Mike Simmons had police called on him in Buena Park while canvassing for votes. No arrest was made. Here’s the video of the interaction @senmikesimmons.bsky.social recorded and shared with me.

Read the letters referenced by Rep. James Walkinshaw here:
“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”
chicago folks, know of any tamale vendor buyouts happening this week/weekend?
On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.
tear gas billows from canisters in a residential intersection, at 105th street and south avenue north, on chicago's southeast side.
masked federal agents used multiple canisters of tear gas + other chemical munitions on a crowd of residents in chicago's southeast side around 12:40 p.m.
neighbors had gathered on a residential intersection following a morning during which dozens of border patrol agents terrorized the community.
ICE is still out here at Broadview firing pepper balls at protesters. Some folks just got hit pretty bad. Air out here is awful and people are retching.
Excited to share a new article with Delaney Glass & @lucia-petito.bsky.social in the American Journal of Human Biology! 🧬
We introduce a roadmap for causal inference with observational data in human biology & biocultural anthropology.

The president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said Monday that suggestions that Tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism are “irresponsible when considering the harmful and confusing message they send to pregnant patients.” https://to.pbs.org/46oVMck
ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
