How much should the NHS worry about this winter's flu wave?
It's looks like a serious wave, but too early to say it will be worse than recent years and reporting is getting ahead of itself.

Advocates from across Florida filled the Capitol today for the Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting. Over 300 people showed up to oppose the mid-cycle redrawing of state district maps. Despite the turnout, the committee did not allow for any public comment.

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

“‘I’m a US citizen, please help me,’ she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. ‘Why are you doing this to me?’”

Trump’s secret police have detained nearly 200 US citizens this year. This is illegal and it’s a danger to our democracy. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...
‘I’m a U.S. citizen.’ Agents pull woman from car in Keys. Feds said she wouldn’t show ID
In Key Largo, in front of Pink Plaza at mile marker 103.4, agents stopped a woman driving a white Toyota Corolla and surrounded the vehicle.

There’s also something especially crazy-making about SCOTUS’s “eagerness to playact a district court” (Kagan) in a *shadow docket* decision that doesn’t really engage with the facts at all. The gap between the professionalism of the district courts and SCOTUS’s arbitrariness couldn’t be more obvious
There are so many things wrong with this ruling, including the total disregard for the clear error standard. But what really gets me is the notion that legislatures can evade judicial review of their maps simply by passing them as close as possible to Election Day

A grand jury has refused to re-indict Letitia James

This decision blocks a politically motivated prosecution and upholds the principle that such actions have no place in our democracy

The courts are serving as a critical check on abuse of power

The hep B vaccination is safe, saves lives, & prevents cancer. RFK’s decision is dangerous. It will also disproportionately harm Asian American communities, who are just 7% of the U.S. population yet account for 60% of Hep B cases. This admin is making clear just how little it values AANHPI health.
RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.

To recap this week:
•Trump fires 8 immigration judges
•DHS tweets "remigration now,"—an actual Nazi policy
•DHS defies court order & deports a 19-year-old college student
•Trump regime removes report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous women, calling it "DEI"

This is an overt policy of white supremacy

Seventy years ago today, Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger. Her arrest led to the 381-day Montgomery bus boycott.

In honor of Parks and the boycott, here is a list of books about both of them: https://bit.ly/44x2vRs

It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.

Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.
