I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

CDC data show ~11% of U.S. pediatric flu deaths in 2024–25 occurred despite full vaccination.
This shows vaccines certainly help, but without clean air, masking and sick-leave policies etc, some kids are still left vulnerable.

Holy Moly Colorado!
Flu data updated early.
The previous record was in 2014, when 582 people were hospitalized in a single week.
We just eclipsed that week by a full 34% (and the data for last week remains incomplete)!

I want to contextualize the flu situation right now in #Colorado:
Less than 20 weeks have ever recorded more people hospitalized for Flu in the state than last week, going back as far as 2014. (Most were last year, the worst flu year ever)
AND Last Weeks total (334) is still incomplete data!
