BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?

BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I can hear it now. Tulsi Gabbard claims Venezuela stole the 2020 election. 👇
Breaking NYT:

Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.

During the meeting, she called Trump.

Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Actually sort of hard to know when you're being kidnapped by the local drug cartel vs being kidnapped by ICE.

C-SPAN draws approximately 90 million Americans who engage across cable, web, and app platforms. While traditional cable viewership has declined with carriage dropping to about 51 million homes, CSPAN maintains a high reach thru digital platforms and expanding to services like YouTube TV and Hulu.
We can promote huge "watch parties" of a reading of the Epstein Files on the House & Senate Floors on C-SPAN, post pics from the parties on social media, give it a HUGE audience. Won't cost a dime! Fly OVER the heads of national media

House Democrats can do the same with back-to-back one minutes and Special Orders. On CSPAN and in the Congressional Record. Promote it in advance. Utilize this free resource like Newt did in the ‘90s to get the House Majority and become Speaker.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Susan Collins is up for reelection, so ICE is gone.

Shelley Capito is too, but ICE hasn’t left WV.

Governor carpetbagger Morrisey has eyes on DC and will sacrifice the National Guard and innocent citizens to get there.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Q: Do you believe that Alex Pretti's death was justified?

TRUMP: We're doing a big investigation. I want to see the investigation. I'm going to be watching over it. I want a very honorable and honest investigation.

Q: The president of Venezuela says she has stopped taking orders from you. What do you say?

TRUMP: Well I don't know exactly what's going on there, but I haven't heard that at all. We have a very good relationship.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.

The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

@schumer.senate.gov Trying to work with Republicans to soften ICE's tactics will work about as great as working with them on the ACA subsidies. Stop trying, Chuck. The GOP is taking you as a fool.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

There is 0.0% chance that we will be fooled by a bs compromise in the senate on DHS funding. Package it, put a bow on it, try to sell it however you want. Not gonna work. If you aren’t sure about that, spend more time in your states with constituents.
