I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Tonight was not the first time a team hit 8 HR in a game at Citizens Bank Park.

It’s just the first time that team was known as “the Phillies.”

The A’s hit 8 last year.
The Diamondbacks did it in 2019.
The Mets did it in 2015.

But this was the first time any Philadelphia team hit 8+ in Philly

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us.

Trump promoted long-debunked claims that vaccines can cause autism as he called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule sought by anti-vaccine activists.

Instead of the promised "answer to autism," Trump offered families distorted science, false hope, and dangerous medical advice. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):

Trump’s Tylenol Briefing Peddled Junk Science

Parents deserve answers about autism — not debunked theories and misinformation.

The President sounds like this all the time these days and is clearly non compos mentis but it just gets a pass from Congress, from the courts, from the media, from Wall Street, from every institution, because it's Trump.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16d

Trump: "I think it has -- I think it's very bad. They're pumping, it looks like they're pumping into a horse. You have a little child, a little fragile child, and you get a vat of 80 different vaccines, I guess. 80 different blends. And they pump it in. So ideally, a woman won't take Tylenol."

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

RFK Jr. is an outright danger to this country, and he should resign or be fired. Do we still have the sort of government that does such things? Or have we turned into. . . that other kind. You know the one.

RFK Jr. Must Go. And He's Not the Only One.

Communist regimes:

Own companies
Control their central banks
Use tariffs to insulate their economies
Use armies, false charges, home raids & arrests to intimidate the opposition
Idolize their leaders with posters & praise
