Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Remember folks, the politics is different when you are in power. What Elon wants diametrically opposes the interests of MAGA. Hence the massive bigotry distraction.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

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.

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.

FUN FACT: Studies have consistently shown that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than HALF the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes, meaning they actually REDUCE the violent crime rate in the United States.

This is Musk's new pinned tweet.
- It's Latin meaning "no one provokes me and gets away with it."
- He attributes it to Sulla, the Roman general who marched on Rome, named himself dictator and launched a notorious reign of terror, executing much of the city's elite.
- It's never linked to Sulla.
