Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

ICE smashed car windows in 50 cases in the first month of Trump’s 2nd term - versus 8 cases over the prior decade, per Propublica.
Staying in the car is seen as resisting arrest, even for pregnant women or scared kids, people with no criminal records.
Call / email Congress to investigate ICE!
