Public health should never be politicized.

In the wake of the federal government abandoning science for conspiracy theories, it's up to governors to step up.

Proud to join my colleagues in the Governors Public Health Alliance to keep communities safe and put our people first.

Graphic of the Governors Public Health Alliance that reads Disease doesn’t stop at state borders - and neither should state preparedness.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Meanwhile in Canada...

From Mark Carney: Each year millions of low-income Canadians don't receive the benefits they are entitled to. We'll be pre-filing tax returns for about 5.5 million Canadians and paying them money through automatic federal benefits.

Hey Florida 13 - your Rep needs a wellness check.

Whatever system she's uploading Russian documents on needs a lot of software protection and continual scans.

Rep Luna post. My office just received word from the Russian Embassy that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the Government of Russia's findings on who assassinated JFK to my office. This is a 350 page document. We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with Jefferson Morley to ensure that the American people have direct access to them.

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Speaker Johnson doesn't think that beating someone is serious.
Explains a lot about ICE.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Just for clarity-
The NOKINGS rallies were scheduled long before the shutdown.
They have nothing to do with the fact that the Republicans can't get a deal done.

"Israel says it will retaliate if Hamas doesn’t hand over more bodies of deceased hostages. Israel closed a crucial border crossing from Egypt to Gaza on Wednesday, cutting in half the amount of aid allowed to enter in retaliation for what they are calling a delay in receiving the hostage bodies."

Israel keeps Gaza border crossing closed while reducing aid deliveries

The ceasefire on Wednesday was largely holding, although Hamas described Israeli attacks in Gaza as violations of the agreement.
