I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration.

Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.

Reminder: faith leaders in Chicago have repeatedly protested for the right to do this.

It was the focus of a major protest last November (along with decrying DHS's treatment of migrants), that led to the arrest of 7 faith leaders outside Broadview. religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

So… DHS only finally allowed clergy inside after they moved everyone out? Sounds about right.
Update: a spox for The Coalition for Spiritual & Public Leadership just told press outside the Broadview, IL ICE facility that, per one of the priests who just went inside, no one is now being held there.

But the spox said he was informed a group of detainees is being brought in closer to 4 pm.
The CSPL delegation, consisting of 2 Catholic priests and a Sister, has just entered the Broadview facility; escorted by police from the designated protest zone to the facility proper.

Outside, the rest of the group continues singing and praying.

Trump: "Frankly, if these radical left lunatic Democrats would come and say, 'Please, help us, please,' we'd stop crimes all over the place. Sometimes we have to force ourselves upon them because they're so bad."

1/ The FDA just changed course and will now review Moderna’s new flu vaccine after previously refusing.

Public pressure was a factor here. Scientists, clinicians, reporters, and many others raised concerns, asked hard questions, and pushed for transparency.

Your daily bananas Trump corruption story:

It's about a bridge connecting Michigan to Canada that's due to open, until the billionaire owner of the existing clogged bridge called Trump and asked him to keep the new bridge closed.

Nuclear grade corruption. All out in the open.

Authoritarianism, plain and simple.

Todd Lyons must immediately confirm or deny whether ICE is building a database of protesters. If true, this would be an appalling attack on Americans’ free speech and right to protest. Peaceful dissent is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.
