Today has the potential to be another explosive day of protest and uprising in America if the Kentucky grand jury doesn’t do the right thing and agree on criminal charges for the officers responsible for Breonna Taylor’s killing. Yesterday, we reported that the city of Kentucky appears to be preparing for the worst as they board up businesses, block public parks, and put up barricades to protect government buildings. All of this while also claiming that they have no idea what the grand jury’s decision will be.

Smells like a lie but we shall see.

The announcement of that decision will be made by Trump-loving Attorney General Daniel Cameron today at 1:30pm EST according to WLKY. Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, Detective Myles Cosgrove and former Detective Brett Hankison are the main suspects who are being looked at for charges related to Breonna’s unjust shooting death.

As we all know, calls for arrests and charges against these men have been loud and persistent since news of the incident reached the public consciousness. Make no mistake, there will be hell on earth if these men are allowed to wrongfully kill a Black woman with complete impunity. HELL, we say. No plywood boards or orange cones will prevent the people of this country from speaking and acting out if Breonna does not receive the justice she deserves.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
