“He once boasted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras.”

Now Trump set him free.

Can definitely confirm being married to someone in immigration law that the complexities of immigration are known to very few. There is so much opportunity to simplify our approach as well as hire at the right capacity to enable the system to even remotely work —-

1/ You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what 6 Democratic members of Congress said on video. Trump called it seditious. The FBI launched an investigation. Then came reporting in WAPO about an order SecDef Hegseth gave ahead of the 9/2 attack on a boat allegedly trafficking drugs in the Caribbean.

When Mark Carney sets specific goals for Canada to "diversify away" from its reliance on the US—making headlines in Canada but not the US—hear that for what it is: Close partners and allies looking elsewhere for better friends.

This is the silent way that the US loses its pointless trade war.

The White House’s new anti-media website includes denunciations of:

-ABC, which bribed the president
-CBS, which bribed the president and moved away from fact-based journalism trying to appeal to him and his fans
-WaPo, which spiked a Harris endorsement and tilts coverage in Trump’s favor

Fools.

Arizona is reporting a 16% increase in child fatalities from infectious disease in 2024.

About 1/3 of the deaths were from vaccine-preventable disease.

RFK Jr. wasn’t in office yet, but he’s been a leader in spreading lies for 20 years, and his influence is now wholly unchecked. Trouble ahead.

Arizona reports increase in vaccine-preventable child fatalities

Arizona’s child fatality rate dropped in 2024, but the number of children who died from vaccine-preventable diseases increased, according to the state’s annual Child Fatality Report.
