It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

When Marimar Martinez was shot, she was called a terrorist.

Accused of assaulting ICE.

By the time her name was cleared, she was forgotten.

ICE shot her five times and then the agent bragged “five shots, seven holes”

He said “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

Marimar was a US citizen.

A wide grin was plastered on Marimar Martinez’s face Thursday as she thanked her attorneys outside an Illinois courtroom and told reporters, “I’m just blessed. I’m happy.”

🧪 Triple negative #breastcancer is difficult to treat. A recent Phase 1 clinical trial showed that a preventative experimental vaccine elicited an immune response in 74% of participants and was well tolerated.

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids.

“I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.”
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Experts saw Samoa's plunging vaccination rates as a crisis. RFK Jr. saw an opportunity.
New details show how Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of an anti-vaccine group and now Trump’s pick for health secretary, sought to exploit a deadly vaccine accident.

On Friday, a memorandum signed by Marco Rubio called for a 90-day cessation of foreign aid. That would likely put on hold the work of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

Democrats lose because they think they can convince right leaning centrists and full on Republicans to vote for them by compromising their values and alienating their actual voter base. Trying to cry-bully people into accepting the premise for the Nuremberg defense is alienating.

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible

Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46

For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B

Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)
