So police driven voter suppression.
A police stop is enough to make someone less likely to vote, recent research has found. "Voting is a reflection of our belief that we’re part of the system, that our voice matters."
A Police Stop Is Enough to Make Someone Less Likely to Vote
New research shows how the communities that are most heavily policed are pushed away from politics and from having a say in changing policy.

KRISTI NOEM: The vetting process happens when the person comes into the country and Joe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals

thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

It's wild to see Republican electeds begin challenging Trump while a lot of major media is still afraid. Surely it comes down to Trump's electoral coattails shrinking into negative space while his ability to punish frightened corporations remains undiminished.
Sooooo were any Republican officials on the Sunday shows asked about Trump saying the word "Retarded?" Or are they just going to avoid talking about it the way they got to avoid being asked about the AI video of Trump dumping shit on protesters?

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.
This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.
