MRIs aren’t a routine test performed during annual physicals unless something is amiss. For that matter, neither is having two “annual” physicals less than 6 months apart. But I’m sure it’s nothing and tfg is the picture of health 🙄

The MAHA plan was ALWAYS intended to undermine vaccines.
- Rolling back access
- Seeding doubt on vaccine effectiveness
- Pushing false narratives about vaccine harms
- Crippling the infrastructure for vaccine approval and guidelines

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund.

The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

According to a complaint filed in federal court after the incident, a federal agent blatantly violated an existing court order (against using excessive force on journalists and demonstrators) by pointing a gun in a veteran’s face, saying “Bang, bang” and “You’re dead, liberal.” trib.al/n9hJXHJ

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a “screening” MRI.

The Border Patrol is taking a central role in Trump's immigration crackdowns -- far from any international border crossing.

In my first piece for The Contrarian, I explore why the infamously brutal federal force is now stoking fear and havoc from L.A. to Chicago and beyond...

In the eyes of the Trump administration, our borders—and those patrolling them—may just be everywhere

Trump’s threats to deploy troops to our city makes all of us less safe. This is un-American and creates chaos that only weakens our local communities and economy.

New Yorkers want a safe and affordable city, and we are united in demanding that Trump keep his hands off NYC.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

We continue to be the resistance.

A new report reveals that anti-abortion activists—some of whom are opposed to IVF because it involves discarding unused embryos—spent more than a year lobbying the Trump campaign, and then his administration, to ensure that officials did not subsidize or mandate coverage of the procedure.
Report: Anti-abortion leaders helped tank Trump’s promise of free IVF
"There were letters and meetings and calls—a lot of activity."

What are we even doing here?

People don't "just get MRIs" and even raising the prospect of a third term reveals an overt contempt for the Constitution.

President Trump said he had an MRI earlier this month, telling reporters Monday that the results had been “perfect” but declining to say why his doctors had ordered the scan. He also reiterated that he was interested in serving a third term.
Trump Says a Recent M.R.I. Scan Was ‘Perfect,’ and He’d ‘Love’ a Third Term
President Trump made the comments on the second day of his trip to Asia. The Constitution limits presidents to two terms, but Mr. Trump has suggested he might try to circumvent it.
