#AZ01 Dr. Amish Shah is the right choice for these troubling times where the GOP is attacking our healthcare, cutting Medicare, Medicaid, & the ACA. Let’s tell DC that we are not willing to give up our own health to line the pockets of Big Pharma, Corps, & Politicians! Vote Shah! #ResistanceUnited

Gabby Giffords, the UAW, Emily’s List, & Vote Vets all endorse JoAnna Mendoza. She’s racking up endorsements because people know it’s time 4 change in #AZ06. JoAnna is a vet, & a public servant rooted in Pinal County. Juan Ciscomani repeatedly votes against your interests. #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Mayor Frey on Tom Homan saying DHS had "some issues" in Minneapolis: "'Issues' would be certainly the understatement of the century. These are people that should be alive today. Alex and Renee were standing up for their neighbors. Constitutionally protected activity was taking place."

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

The firefighter, whose name has not been made public, has lived in the US for 19 years after arriving with his family at the age of four. He received a U-visa certification from the US attorney's office in Oregon in 2017 and submitted his U-visa application with US Citizenship and Immigration Services the following year.
The U-visa program was established by Congress to protect victims of serious crimes who assist federal investigators, and the man has been waiting since 2018 for the immigration agency to decide on his application, according to Stephen Manning, a lawyer with Innovation Law Lab, a Portland-based nonprofit representing the firefighter.
Another homeland security policy says agents cannot detain people who are receiving or have applied for victim-based immigration benefits, his lawyer said. Charging the man with an immigration violation was "an illegal after-the-fact justification" given his U-visa status.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles. If you're wondering if you should get (re)vaccinated against measles, here is a helpful chart. 9/11
Do I need to get (re)vaccinated against measles?
Were you vaccinated between 1963 and 1968? NO ->
Have you received two doses of MMR or MMRV since your first birthday? YES -> You likely do NOT need another dose of MMR* NO or NOT SURE -> Were you born before 1957? YES -> You likely do NOT need another dose of MMR* NO -> You likely should get vaccinated. Talk to your health care provider.**
If you were vaccinated between 1963 and 1968 and received an inactivated measles vaccine or just one dose, You likely should get vaccinated. Talk to your health care provider.**
*People with HIV who were vaccinated before the establishment of effective antiretroviral
therapy and do not have evidence of current severe immunosuppression should be revaccinated.
**People who should not receive the MMR vaccine include people who have had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose, have an allergy to a vaccine component, have severe immunodeficiency, or are pregnant.
