The UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced.

Vaccine disinformation is a worldwide pandemic that is killing us.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

What Trump said about allied soldiers is nothing new. He’s always been envious of people who had courage because he has always been a coward. Demeaned McCain & POWs, Gen Kelly confirmed he called DDay KIA troops “suckers & losers”, said he always wanted to “win” a Purple Heart.

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!

Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

In spite of Mike Johnson’s objections and delay, Congress overwhelmingly passed a clear, bipartisan law to release the Epstein Files, give victims answers and hold the powerful accountable. The deadline has passed. The DOJ is ignoring the law. Washington Republicans are shrugging. Total cowardice.
‘No longer in my hands’: How Hill Republicans stopped caring about DOJ releasing the Epstein files
On the one-month anniversary of the Justice Department missing the deadline to release all the Epstein materials in its possession, Republicans in Congress are largely shrugging their shoulders.

Tucker gets exactly what he wants. Loads of money but also becomes the guy 90% of my Dodger fan friends will refer to as, “oh yeah he’s here!”
Full details on Kyle Tucker's Dodgers contract, per ESPN sources:

- 4 years, $240 million guaranteed
- Opt-outs after Years 2 and 3
- $64M signing bonus
- $30M deferred
- $57.1M a year in net present value after factoring in deferrals -- a record by $6M+

A staggering deal.

Bro, people are going to build entire lives around the neighbors they’ve found in these anti-ICE signal chats. Marriages, lifelong friendships, weird hobbies. It is actually breaking my brain. I am almost crying in the club (chat).

I love that Kyle Tucker got an opt-out on his four-year, $240 million deal. What exactly would Kyle Tucker have to hit to opt out of that contract?
