Unfortunately, we now receive unreliable information from these vaccine-denying federal committees.
This is exactly why I requested a bill with @oicwa.bsky.social to shift vaccine recommendations to our own Department of Health. I'm looking forward to signing that bipartisan bill.

it's so, so, so frustrating how they act like people applying for asylum are subject to removal proceedings. that is not the law!!!!
Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:
“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."
(This is not standard procedure.)

Good point. If there's a mysterious "staffer" handling Trump's social media, that person could start World War III. (Of course, the unnamed "staffer" probably doesn't exist.)
