The President’s post is wrong and incredibly offensive — whether intentional or a mistake — and should be deleted immediately with an apology offered.

@headquarters68_ John, he never hid who he was. Putting him in office just allows him to act on who he is.

Trump voter: I voted for Trump, but I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture he just posted of the Obamas as monkeys. What an embarrassment to our country

Very good decision by President Trump to send Tom Homan to meet with Governor Walz and his team in Minnesota. Tom is the expert’s expert and has dedicated his life to enforcing immigration law and policy in both Democrat and Republican administrations. The goal is to make the people of America and Minnesota safer by following the law that has been on the books for decades. Wishing Tom the best of luck. Well done, Mr. President.

An armed man trying to impede a lawful arrest is a recipe for disaster. I expect law enforcement officers to use good judgement. But not to foolishly risk their lives or the lives of others. As to the recent tragic shooting in Minnesota where Border Patrol agents used deadly force against an armed protestor trying to impede a lawful arrest, it is a direct result of the heated rhetoric and over the top reaction toward ICE —who are simply trying to enforce the law in sanctuary cities. You have every right to protest and you have every right to disagree with President Trump. No one has the right to impede law enforcement officers carrying out their duties. If you go to such events with a loaded gun, bad things can happen. The facts will be fully investigated, but for me having been a defense attorney and prosecutor who’s been around law enforcement officers, you have to understand the extreme pressure that Border Patrol and ICE agents are under in sanctuary cities. These cities have willfully ignored federal law, creating massive fraud of benefits, a constant magnet for illegal immigration and a breakdown of law and order. I will be introducing legislation to end sanctuary state and city polices once and for all because they rip off the taxpayer and cause extreme danger for those trying to clean up the mess in these liberal cities.

So this MAGA couple is upset that an Immigrant that lives in their neighborhood drives a $100,000 dollar Lexus! The man is a U.S. citizen & is actually a Physician after going through years of schooling! From the looks of these two I doubt if they finished school period! Jealous

@Michelle_in_ON @Acyn @Anthony52373483 We are afraid that he won’t . Our elected representatives have the power to make sure this won’t happen but the Republicans in office will not- or at least so far have not shown us that they will.

@Acyn @Anthony52373483 Question from a Canadian, why do Americans think that Trump is going to hold free and fair ejections in November and if so, why do you think he will honour the results? Why are you waiting until November?

Van Hollen: I—and my office—have been working with a mom from the state of Maryland. She lived here 20 years. She has four kids. She was snatched off the streets by ICE a couple of weeks ago. She asked to be released to be able to visit with her 15-year-old son, who was dying of cancer. They said no. Shame. He died the next day. Her son died the next day without being able to say goodbye to his mom, and his mom was unable to say goodbye to him. That is the lack of humanity. That is the lack of basic human decency that we’re seeing from this administration. And that is why you’re all out here. We are now working very hard to make sure that this mom is at least released to go to her son’s memorial service.

Just to emphasize how racist this is, you cannot tell whether someone is an "illegal alien" by looking at them. So what Vance is basically saying is "you've probably noticed that there are Latinos in the ER. Any delay you experienced? It's their fault. The Latinos."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

Vance: "If you're an American citizen and you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed that wait times are especially large and very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

"Living with cancer is not the same as surviving cancer. It’s a distinction that needs to be acknowledged and understood, and research needs to reflect this reality." - Jill Feldman
Jill Feldman@jillfeldman4

Cancer changes a person’s life, but survivorship defines it. As National Cancer Survivors Month comes to an end, I am thankful to @AACR for providing access to our Major Symposium at the annual meeting on Redefining Cancer Survivorship for People Living with Advanced and Metastatic Cancers. It was an incredible honor to work with (and always learn from) @ShelMollica and @Areejmd. You can watch the session here vimeo.com/1094229009 If a treatment keeps you alive but strips away your identity, independence and ability to enjoy time with your family - is that really survival? IMO, our session was the most important session of the meeting - It was a call to redefine survivorship and success in cancer care. Living with cancer is not the same as surviving cancer. It’s a distinction that needs to be acknowledged and understood, and research needs to reflect this reality. #survonc #Survivorship #QOL #LCSM #AACR25 #pallonc

Critical reminder that ANYONE w/ lungs can get lung cancer. We need more research & need to develop a pathway to screen high risk never smokers. @lcrf_org @NLCRTnews @AmericanCancer @LUNGevity @atscommunity @AATSHQ @STS_CTsurgery @ASCO @myESMO @CDMRP @CharlesSwanton @theNCI
Stephen V Liu, MD@StephenVLiu

Important awareness piece by @BBCNews reminding us that lung cancer is on the rise in people who have never smoked. These are different types of lung cancer and we’re still learning why they occur: radon, pollution, unknown. All of us are at risk. bbc.com/future/article…

Three years ago today, I had absolutely no idea what had just hit me. Stage 4 ALK Positive Lung Cancer at just 35 years of age? What on earth was that? Even now, I’m not sure I have better answers. I’ve learned to navigate this so-called “new normal,” but let’s be honest—it’s anything but normal. And I will never get used to it. In the cancer community, we often mark our ‘cancerversaries’. Not because they’re something to celebrate really, but because they are a moment to acknowledge the fire we’ve walked through—another year of surviving, enduring, and fighting the unimaginable. Yes, I’m still here. Not because it’s been easy, but because survival often isn’t a choice—it’s just what we do. Antidepressants have helped me cope, my mother’s relentless determination (and defiance of all odds) has kept me going, and research has quite literally kept me alive. But the reality is terrifying: global funding cuts threaten the very studies that people like me rely on, and here in India, there’s virtually no research dedicated to my type of cancer. So, while I appreciate your kind words, I don’t need to be told I’m an inspiration or that I’m brave—I already know that. What I need—what we all need—is action. Not empty words, not fleeting sympathy. Real, tangible action. Cancer isn’t just a statistic. It’s in our homes, our families, our lives. And if we don’t fight for more research, more funding, and more urgency, the reality is undeniable: it will keep tearing through more lives, more households, until we have nowhere left to turn. We don’t have time for complacency. We don’t have time for ignorance. The situation is dire, and it’s only going to get much worse unless we demand better. Special mention for my doctor @docrohatgi. Meeting an oncologist is never on anyone’s wish list but he’s one I don’t mind meeting now, especially if it’s outside his clinic 😊 #Cancerversary #CancerResearch #Advocacy #ALKPositive #FightCancer #ourlivesmatter @ALKPositiveinc @ALKpositiveINT @IndiaAlk @R2SurviveCancer @VivekSharmaSE @ThanksCancer @YoungLungCancer @theNCI @MDAndersonNews @SU2C @AmericanCancer @nuvalent @MoHFW_INDIA @AyushmanNHA @JPNadda @PMOIndia @PfizerOncMed @ICMRDELHI @CSIR_IND @Roche
