Dallas ICE Facility Shooting

- Law enforcement described the shooting as politically motivated, targeting border enforcement personnel.
- The FBI is investigating this as targeted violence; "ICE says they've seen 1000% increase in assaults against them."
- Trump commented:
- “This is despicable. The brave men and women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs and remove the worst of the worst criminals out of our country. But they're facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence and attacks by deranged radical leftists.” ([02:10])
Possible Comey Indictment
- U.S. attorney for Virginia may seek indictment of ex-FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress.
- Trump weighed in at a weekend rally:
- “I just want people to act as have to act and we have to act fast...if they're not guilty, that's fine. If they are guilty, they should be charged.” ([02:40])
Tylenol Advisory for Pregnant Women
- HHS recommends caution using Tylenol during pregnancy due to possible links to autism/ADHD; references significant studies from Harvard, UMass Lowell, UCLA, and Mount Sinai.
- Tylenol’s social media posts from 2017 and 2019 indicate they don't recommend use in pregnancy due to lack of testing.
- Some pregnant women, exhibiting “full-blown TDS,” reportedly take Tylenol in defiance of the current administration.

Disney’s Shift

- “Try to get a show greenlighted if you're a conservative. Not going to happen.”
- No visible conservative voices within Disney’s programming; theme park prices “effectively denies poor families access”—contradicts Disney’s traditional family-friendly image.

- Suggests the company’s roots in wholesome, all-American entertainment are eroding, previewing possible changes ahead.
