RFK Jr. Tells Joe Rogan He’s About to Unleash 14 Banned Peptides RFK Jr. plans to reverse a sweeping compounding ban of certain peptides issued by the FDA in late 2023.

This is madness. I wrote about "peptides" a few years ago, before the trend really hit. People are injecting themselves with black-market liquids purported to contain experimental drugs that were abandoned for failing to show benefits or being unsafe.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

More than 17k Korean Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Many Live in Minnesota. For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Thousands of Korean adoptees lack citizenship because the U.S. adoption system brought them here but failed to secure their legal status. When adoptive parents didn’t complete the paperwork, adoptees face barriers to work, licensing, benefits, and even the threat of deportation. buff.ly/TA1UYq8 πŸ₯š
