Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

This is 8 year old Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins who in 1990 joined others w/ disabilities in climbing the 83 marble steps up to the Capitol to show Congress & the nation what access really means. They were demanding Congress pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, which has stalled in the House. 🗃️

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.
He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.
He says they “dysregulate the immune system”.
Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive”
