I said at the time, “Milhoan wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread. “This is so dangerous as to approach criminality”. And here we are, with RFK Jr. conducting his experiment on Americans.

New York Times confirms reports that, days before Oct. 7, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed warned Netanyahu that Hamas was planning a major attack. According to five former senior Israeli officials, Netanyahu never passed the warning to Israel.

Five former senior Israeli officials told the Times the warning never reached Israel's security chiefs. Netanyahu denies the call and has ordered lawyers to sue Haaretz.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style.

Why do white men become white nationalists? Interesting new empirical results in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ere we show with three national surveys of non-Hispanic white adults (conducted from 2021 to 2025) that support for white nationalism is (1) higher among white people encountering personal hardship and local social distress, consistent with strain theories3,16; (2) unrelated to local racial composition or recent demographic change, complicating status threat accounts4,17,18; and (3) elevated among white people with close friendships primarily online, consistent with theories of extremism driven by online mobilization7,10,19.

Emily Hilliard, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, confirmed on Wednesday that the department had not yet made a decision about whether to provide the shots through that program.
Vaccines for Children provides free shots to children who are uninsured, underinsured or eligible for Medicaid, as well as to American Indian and Alaska Native children.
Pediatric doses are available for children who have insurance, or whose parents can afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket.

JUST IN: SCOTUS sides with the Missouri supreme court, again. With no stated dissent, they grant a stay on Judge Clark's ruling that Missouri can only use the new gerrymander. That means the old, 2022 map has to be used, likely saving Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

Supreme Court stay specifies it remains in place until the 8th circuit decides the case. That means that the district court is definitively overruled and the map with one fewer R will be in effect for the election. Quite a 72 hour circus, but bottom line is federal District Court was way off base.

Over 170,00 Salvadorans were set to lose TPS today, a status they've had for 25 years. But DHS hasn't made any announcement about termination or extension. Now this vague comment was given to reporters, the only public info. A shocking level of callousness over a decision which affects so many.

#BREAKING Overnight :

tells me that #TPS recipients from El Salvador will continue to have protections until a decision is made about the program. Those protections were set to expire today. This will likely be a small relief to about 200,000 in the U.S.
