Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.
ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

Over and over and over again the people who have observed RFK Jr.’s anti-vax propaganda for decades have said he will not stop until he takes away as many vaccines as he can.
And the current U.S. government is aiding and abetting him.

Even a decade ago I'd have far sooner predicted that the US would succumb to authoritarian rule than that it would become a state where vaccines were unavailable.
But if we don't throw RFK Jr. out on his ass, we're headed there fast.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.
But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.
When are they going to learn?
