Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.
The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.
Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?
Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.
