The situation on in LA is touchy-one because Trump keeps Pushing the residents with un-needed Marines and National Guard it seems to make the incidents worse so he can maybe declared another war power and get charge of the Army, which he wants.

| People in Los Angeles took to the streets for the fourth consecutive night to protest ICE immigration raids. In response, President Trump is deploying hundreds of active-duty Marines to the city, along with an additional 2,000 National Guard troops on top of the 2,000 he mobilized over the weekend. The Pentagon says it will work with troops to protect federal buildings and agents. Trump claims this latest deployment is intended to control the protests. However, California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass are calling this move an unnecessary escalation. |

🎧 Federal law generally prohibits active-duty military forces from participating in domestic law enforcement unless the president invokes the Insurrection Act, NPR’s Adrian Florido tells Up First. Trump has not yet invoked this act, but he has suggested he might. Newsom has filed a lawsuit challenging the president’s decision to take control of the state National Guard without his authorization. The governor also plans to sue regarding the deployment of Marines. Recently, Trump endorsed the idea of arresting Newsom, which is an extraordinary statement to make about a sitting governor, Florido says. Many people are concerned that deploying troops will escalate tensions on the streets. Sandra Martinez, a protester, expressed her worries, stating, “They’re gonna make it worse.”
Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced yesterday that he is removing all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which is a vital vaccine committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kennedy has the authority to replace anyone on the committee, as his department oversees the CDC. The possibility of Kennedy replacing everyone on the committee worried some politicians and public health experts when Kennedy was first nominated.🎧 Kennedy claimed the committee was rubber-stamping recommendations and had conflicts of interest, NPR’s Will Stone reports. NPR has investigated Kennedy’s allegations and found that a government report Kennedy cites doesn’t back up his claim. “ACIP has been across the entire world, the paragon of good, solid, well-thought-out, evidence-based vaccine policy,” Dr. Jonathan Temte, who used to serve as chair of ACIP from 2012 to 2015, said. “I hate to say this. We are heading in the direction of U.S. vaccine policy becoming the laughingstock of the globe.”
U.S. drug-related deaths among young people are finally declining after a decade in which over 230,000 people under the age of 35 died from overdoses. In 2021, fentanyl and other drugs led to over 31,000 fatalities in this age group. By last year, that number had dropped significantly toapproximately 16,690 fatal overdoses, according to provisional data from the CDC.🎧 Researchers have a lot of theories behind the cause of this significant decline, including better health care, NPR’s Brian Mann says. Narcan, also known as naloxone, a medication that reverses fentanyl overdoses, is widely distributed. There is increasing evidence that young people are being more cautious and using fewer hard drugs that might be laced or contaminated with fentanyl. Mann says he hears concerns from experts and families that the Republican budget passed by the House would cut billions of dollars from Medicaid and public health and science agencies. The fear is that grants for fentanyl and other addiction programs will dry up, and this recovery would unravel. REUTERS |
