Stated at ACIP: MMRV isn’t acceptable for kids <4 to prevent measles, mumps, rubella & varicella. ❌ False. MMRV/MMR vaccines are safe & highly effective. Studies show only a very small increase in febrile seizure risk after the 1st dose.

NWS has a msg system called "NWSChat", it's specifically for the purpose of connecting Emergency Management (and other such roles) with the forecasters at their local office to help the decision making process. Other counties contacted the NWS. Kerr County did not. I can't release the chat scripts.

The White House wants the public to think it’s “righting the ship” at the Pentagon by changing the staff around "Leaky Pete" Hegseth. But one of those promoted is Sean Parnell, who dropped his Senate bid in Pennsylvania over allegations he choked his ex-wife and told her to get an abortion. 1/2 🧵

Lawlessness is intentionally removing prisoners from the US courts' jurisdiction so you have no accountability when you deprive them of their rights and do other awful things to them. The thing you monsters forgot: The courts still have jurisdiction over YOU for doing that.
