A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from deploying any #NationalGuard units to #Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when Trump mobilized #California troops for #Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before.

During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by CA & OR.

Pay attention. This is serious.

“Today,💙our family braved the "warzone" streets of #Chicago to scavenge lunch.

The quiet. The relaxing parks. The comfortable seats in the rest. The kind people who held doors & helped us get the strollers down stairs. I can hardly believe we made it back home alive...

The big problem facing Chicago? The same problem facing the rest of the C:🚨Trump being in power & wanting to distract from his endless failures by deploying the MIL into city streets to intimidate US citizens.”

How RFK Jr could could really screw up vaccines: he’s “floated” the idea of adding autism to the list of conditions covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

Why would that be a huge problem — beyond the simple fact that we know vaccines do not cause autism? This pre-Bari-Weiss article from CBS explains:

Hopefully nothing comes of this.
