Colorado Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has centered his pro-Trump political identity — and his support for mass deportation — on the story of his Mexican-American grandfather, who he has repeatedly said immigrated “the legal way.”
Documents show that isn’t true.

Op-ed: U.S. is losing rare earth metals war to China, and running out of time to win it back

Terrifying. Chances of it getting better with an FDA run by Makary? Jury's out.
In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory.
The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

This sort of reaction has become normalized in NYC and LA, where violence against protestors has spiked enormously since October 7th.
