Earlier this week, a new page titled “Vaccines and Autism” appeared on the CDC website. The agency's employees are not happy about it.

Sen. John Kennedy on Epstein: "I just don't think this issue is gonna go away until it's addressed and answered to the American people's satisfaction. And I may end up with a Sombrero on my head for saying that, but that's the way I see it."

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Trump claims that ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells an entirely different story.
According to stats from the agency's website, the deadliest threat to ICE agents is not immigrants, but COVID-19.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

ICE mistakenly deported a man who worked at Trump’s golf course for more than a decade.
“And that’s how my journey in the United States ended” he said through tears during a phone interview from Mexico.

Trump’s DOJ unsealed an indictment against six protesters—including Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, for allegedly impeding an ICE officer outside of a detention facility.
The move is a stunning continuation of Trump’s weaponization of judicial and police power to crush dissent.

About 60% of U.S. workers are not white men. Wouldn't know it from Trump's Department of Labor.
Are we still supposed to pretend that neither bigotry nor misogyny are key to Trumpism?
