Flashback to how these same folks reacted to vaccine cards...
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

The flu and pneumonia kill over 45,000 people a year. Moderna developed a new mRNA flu vaccine for people 50 and older--who are most at risk. Prasad, unilaterally, against the recommendation of experts within the agency, denied Moderna's appplication. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...
Prasad overruled FDA staff to reject Moderna's flu vaccine application
The rejection is the latest instance of Vinay Prasad overruling career FDA scientists to place vaccines under harsher scrutiny.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

These Border Patrol thugs say they are being boxed in by a car driven by a mom. A lie.

Then they veer into her car & say they've been struck. Another lie.

Then the driver opens fire at her.

Trump's CBP & #ICE savages are terrorizing our streets.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand action.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

I can appreciate as a Canadian that school shootings are so rare that the prime minister suspends his entire schedule over this tragedy.
Just now from Carney’s PMO:

Please note: In light of Tuesday’s tragic events in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, the Prime Minister’s previously announced schedule has been suspended. Details to follow.

I'm so enthralled with the whole Trump-Carney-Windsor-Detroit Gordie Howe bridge scandal. A billionaire who owns the only other bridge gets pissy and suddenly the fucking President is ranting on Truth Social about how Canada is evil. It's so funny. And so, so dumb. And corrupt. Can't forget corrupt.

Tumber Ridge is not just idyllic but resilient.

It has seen mines open and close and reopen. It has embraced wind energy, made unprecedented dinosaur discoveries, hosts epic adventures and reinvented itself through tourism.

Thinking of everyone there as the town faces the unimaginable days ahead.

At “Ageing on the Hill,” I met the community groups helping seniors age at home with dignity. Nearly 10,000 nonprofits deliver meals, rides & visit, but they are stretched thin. I’m pushing for stable funding, elder-abuse protections & real caregiver support. Seniors deserve action, not words.

I’ve cared for young women dying of cervical cancer. It’s devastating and largely preventable now with the HPV vaccine.

When a vaccine prevents cancer, the question isn’t whether to re-examine it, it’s why would we hesitate?

CIDRAP Op-Ed: The HPV vaccine prevents cancer. The new ACIP wants to re-examine that.

@jakescottMD

The vaccine has reduced cervical cancer by nearly 90% in women vaccinated as teens and has been studied in >70 randomized controlled trials

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."
