It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.

This morning, I went to see what were supposed to be the completely unredacted Epstein files. However, some of the files were still redacted by Kash Patel’s FBI.

Here’s my reaction.

I can still remember the days when Trump was only in the Epstein files 38,000 times instead of over 1,000,000. Oh wait that was yesterday.

A Texas man killed his own daughter after arguing with her about Trump.

She asked how he would feel if she had been sexually assaulted.

His response? That he had two other daughters and would be fine.

Hours later she was dead.

He’s not even being charged.

They really hate women.

I genuinely agree. The absolute rage at the republicans right now is actually the best time to put a progressive (a real one) up for office.
my argument for why AOC should run in 2028 is (a) she would be a good president (b) Mamdani, Analililia Mejia, abolish ICE with majority support, if not now, when?

If I had a nickel for every time an ICE employee was arrested in a Bloomington, Minnesota underage sex trafficking sting, I’d have ten cents.

Not a lot, but weird that it happened twice!
This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

One of the six men is "high up in a foreign government" and one is a "very prominent" U.S. citizen. Their names and photos are in the files that Massie and Khanna saw today.
Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now know the names of six men whose names were previously redacted in the Epstein files. They believe these men are likely incriminated, based on their inclusion in the docs.

After today’s viewing of the un-redacted files and today’s D press conferences that will follow (Raskin, Garcia, Massie, et al), Congress may have no options.

It would rival the Watergate hearings.

Jamie Raskin has a reputation of being an incredibly smart and honest public servant. He WILL do something about what he's seen in the Epstein files. Keep watching. And maybe lift prayers to keep him safe. 🙏
The way Raskin is talking...it's really, really bad. He's thinking, "How am I going to do this? Holy crap."

Under the Speech and Debate Clause, members of Congress cannot be punished for things that they say as part of their legislative function. Once a member of Congress has read the unredacted names of the perpetrators, they can announce the names in public.
