I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:
The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.
I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

This is a science counterpart to demolishing East Wing at the White House. But with far greater consequences.
These people are dangerous zealots (sort of as Susie Wiles has put it), and every decent person must stand up to stop them.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

The new CDC #2 has a history of supporting medical gibberish.
Pro Ivermectin as a “treatment” for COVID, yet against mass vaccine campaigns.
It will fall to leaders at the state level and coalitions like the West Coast Health Alliance to fill the massive gap.

Of, for 1% that have, it was in high school, and they never thought about it.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.
