Where are the best news updates for the Coeur d ‘Alene situation. If you know Idaho terrain, you know how challenging this situation is for LE and how terrifying and sad it is for locals.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.
Trump declares war on cities

“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

In a nutshell:

— The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence.

— The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information.

Arrest them. Immediately.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Insanity.
The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

FBI ordered Citibank to freeze the group bank's accounts.

Oregon State is one of only two land, sea, space, and sun grant universities in the country. The work they do benefits everyone.

What an awful, short sighted, thing to do.

Wearing Sheriff's badge ✅
Wearing Sheriff's hat ✅
Threatening people ✅
Restricting 1st amendment rights ✅
Directing others to attack someone ✅

"unofficial capacity" is code for "illegal" and you can tell he knew it was illegal the moment he backed away and told others to do it.
👀 👀 👀 here’s big boy bob attempting to drag one of his constituents out of a public town hall meeting, and threatening to pepper spray her if she did not comply. he stated he wasn’t acting in his official capacity, yet he was wearing a hat that said sheriff and his badge was visible on his belt

Great 🧵 on mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer that has patients w/no recurrence for 3 years so far, possible cancer cure.
The 5-yr survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 44% if caught early, only 13% if it's spread.
Currently #idleg has bill SB1036, to enact a 10-yr ban on mRNA vaccines in #Idaho. 😐
This data is way too limited but this could be a cure for pancreatic cancer. How can we know if it is? And if it is, how can we access it?

By funding scientific research. And with health agencies that can review data to ensure safety & efficacy, approve new treatments, & make sure they are covered.
In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years.

Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge
So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.
