1/6 I just delivered my baby in the hospital and was saddened to hear from the staff that routine vitamin K shots for babies are being rejected by parents more frequently now due to the information, without scientific basis or research evidence, being spread by the current administration. 🧪🧬👩🔬🍎🥽⚛️

Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

An observation I've been thinking about:
Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

But that's not the only shocking number:
