Oregon Rep. Maxine Dexter (D), a woke physician who downplayed the risks associated with COVID vaccines and has since championed so-called "gender-affirming care," recently raised eyebrows by characterizing an innocent Make America Healthy Again initiative as racist.
After repeatedly calling for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be "dismantled" during a town hall on Saturday, Dexter launched into an unhinged attack on the Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
"RFK Jr. is one of the biggest threats to our community and to the health of this country," said Dexter.
"When you don't follow the science, and you just follow your vibes or your whatever it is that he's doing, it is absolutely the truth that you lose trust," continued the congresswoman. "I have every reason to believe that we'll be able to get that man at least delegitimized, hopefully fired."
'Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking.'
Dexter characterized the government as a "fascist regime," advised doctors not to "do what they are telling us to do," and suggested that patients should "ask for the science-based regimens, not whatever RFK Jr. is getting kickbacks on or whatever whole milk, white supremacy dog-whistling that's happening."
The Republican National Committee's RNC Research account noted in response to Dexter's assertion, "Democrats' unhinged hatred for President Trump has broken their brains."
The Make America Healthy Again Commission released the Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy in September, identifying hundreds of initiatives that could help reverse "the failed policies that fueled America's childhood chronic disease epidemic."

The strategy noted that the HHS and other agencies would "remove restrictions on whole milk sales in schools, allowing districts to offer full-fat dairy options alongside reduced-fat alternatives."
The National School Lunch Program of the Department of Agriculture long required participating schools to provide milk that was consistent with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which meant the milk offerings either had to be fat-free or low-fat.
Trump, helping the MAHA strategy along, ratified the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act last month, thereby modifying the NSLP requirements such that whole and reduced-fat milk would be added to the offerings at schools across the country.
The USDA and Kennedy have since shared a number of videos and pictures promoting whole milk, touting it as a "protein, strength, and a class choice that never goes out of style."
While whole milk and the government's campaign promoting it appear to be innocuous, Dexter presumed the worst — but she's apparently not alone.
For instance, Arthur Caplan, a professor of bioethics at New York University Grossman School of Medicine, recently suggested that the consumption of the universally appreciated liquid food "is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking."

The outside of the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Memorial became a stage this Presidents’ Day for a group of dancers protesting the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers — and a clip of the performance is giving BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales “secondhand embarrassment.”
“That’s what they will pass off as art. It’s why you shouldn’t let your kids major in liberal arts. They’ll end up on the steps of the Kennedy Center performing that bulls**t,” Gonzales comments.
“I just have to wonder how many hours they spent working on that, rehearsing that all for this big moment that led them to absolutely nothing. Like great, you got the social media video. How many hours of your life did you waste that you could have been actually working?” she asks, adding, “Actually, we know liberals don’t work.”
But that’s not the only ridiculous video Gonzales came across this week.
In another clip, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) claims that the left is now guilty of being racist to her alongside the right.
“The thing that is not normal is for me to be attacked from the left. That is the, like, new wild card in this scenario. But it’s just interesting. And you know, I’ve been asked a couple of times, a couple of things about it,” Crockett began.
“I look at this specifically as a civil rights lawyer, and I see when they’re sending out ads, and they’re darkening my skin, and I’m just like, ‘I know what this is,’ right? And the reality is that yes, I woke up a black woman. I was born a black woman. I know I’m a black woman, for everybody that didn't think I didn’t know. Just FYI,” she continued.
“But I am not running on the fact that I’m a black woman. I am running on my credentials,” she added.
“That’s all you talk about,” Gonzales comments.
“Jasmine Crockett cannot go five minutes without telling someone, ‘I’m a strong independent black woman,’” she adds.

As President Donald Trump delivers Tuesday’s State of the Union, lawmakers will applaud calls for economic strength, innovation, and American competitiveness. Many of those same politicians, however, attack the very policies that make those goals possible. Their favorite target: so-called “tax loopholes,” routinely described as corruption or favoritism.
That label distorts how tax policy works.
What critics dismiss as ‘loopholes’ often serve as the incentives that help ordinary Americans — not just the rich — build, grow, and prosper.
Politicians denounce “loopholes” as if businesses are exploiting accidental gaps in laws Congress never meant to create. The implication follows: close the loopholes, collect more revenue, spend more money, and the country improves.
That framing misses the point. Most so-called loopholes are not accidents. Congress created them on purpose to encourage behavior that strengthens the economy.
Tax credits and deductions are not tricks. They are policy tools. In many cases, they work better than direct spending programs because they rely on private-sector decision-making instead of bureaucratic discretion.
That distinction matters during a period of rapid technological change. Consider artificial intelligence.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed last year built on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by making full and immediate capital expensing — commonly called bonus depreciation — a permanent feature of the tax code. That provision allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying capital investments in the year they make them, rather than stretching deductions over many years.
Critics call that a “giveaway.” It is better understood as a growth policy.
In practical terms, full expensing matters whenever a company makes a large upfront investment — servers, advanced manufacturing equipment, or specialized hardware needed to build AI systems. Under traditional depreciation rules, a business recovers those costs slowly. That delays the tax benefit and discourages large productive investments.
Full expensing removes that penalty. It aligns the tax code with economic reality by letting businesses recover costs when they take the risk. It also works automatically, without bureaucrats deciding which firms or industries deserve support.
That design is intentional. If Congress wants more of a productive activity, it can tax it less.
The AI boom illustrates the point. The United States is competing to lead the world in private AI investment. Data centers are going up at record speed. Venture capital is funding startups that did not exist a few years ago. Large firms are racing to expand computing infrastructure for next-generation models. That kind of investment grows where policy rewards risk-taking.
By making bonus depreciation permanent, lawmakers reduced uncertainty and signaled that America intends to remain the best place to invest capital.

This provision does not benefit only trillion-dollar corporations with armies of accountants. Any business making qualifying investments can use it: a mid-sized manufacturer installing robotics, a regional logistics company upgrading its fleet, or a startup buying high-performance computing equipment. The tax treatment is the same.
In fact, the largest long-term effect may land far from Silicon Valley. Small and medium-sized businesses make up roughly half the U.S. economy. For those firms, cash flow often determines whether they can hire, expand, or modernize. Immediate expensing can make the difference.
This is not a “loophole.” It is deliberate economic policy.
Critics often argue that provisions like full expensing “cost” the government money. That view ignores the broader effect. When businesses invest more, they produce more. More production supports hiring, wages, and taxable income across the economy.
I work directly with small and medium-sized businesses navigating a tax code that is often caricatured in political debate. I have seen how these so-called loopholes function in real life. They are not exclusive perks for the wealthy or giant corporations. Their benefits extend to workers, customers, and communities through jobs, innovation, and competition.
What critics dismiss as “loopholes” often serve as the incentives that help ordinary Americans — not just the rich — build, grow, and prosper.
Uncle Sam does not always get tax policy right. But when Congress uses the tax code to encourage productive behavior instead of punishing it, the results can be transformative.
The next time a politician thunders about “tax loopholes,” ask a simple question: Is it really a mistake — or a policy designed to make the American economy stronger?

The Department of Homeland Security dispelled false claims from the legacy media about Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Frio County, Texas.
A NBC News report on Feb. 13 described the Dilley center as a "remote, prison-like facility" with "inhumane conditions," according to human rights advocates. The article claimed that the center has unsanitary conditions and lengthy wait times for medical care. A recent ProPublica article and another from the New York Times echoed similar allegations.
'The fact is being in detention is a choice.'
A DHS press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News debunked falsehoods about the Dilley facility.
The agency stated that the center has a full medical staff, including physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, psychologists, pharmacy staff, and medical support personnel.
The facility reportedly provides detainees a thorough medical screening within 12 hours of arrival. Children undergo pediatric assessments that include evaluations of growth, development, behavior, and nutrition. Additionally, specialized off-site services such as hospitalization, specialty consultations, and lab testing are available.
Families are provided with life-sustaining medication immediately, the DHS stated.

"Medical services, including mental health and dental, are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and if necessary, medical providers refer residents to outside specialists or hospitals," the agency's press release read.
The staff accommodates special diets and allergies as needed.
"The Dilley facility is retrofitted for families. Children have access to teachers, classrooms, and curriculum booklets for math, reading, and spelling. They have access to age-appropriate books, toys, and outdoor activities. All of this is generously funded by the U.S. taxpayer," the DHS stated. "Infant care packages include formula, baby food, bottles, diapers, wipes, and hygiene items; the facility also provides sippy cups and cribs. Adults with children are housed in facilities that provide for their safety, security, and medical needs."

Families have access to religious services, visits from clergy, a law library, attorney visitation, and mail services.
"Being in detention is a choice," the DHS noted, adding that all foreign nationals illegally in the U.S. are encouraged to self-deport immediately.
"The media and sanctuary politicians have repeated false claims about the ICE Dilley facility, including that children are denied medical care and don't have educational resources," DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated. "The truth is this facility provided proper medical care for all detainees, including access to a pediatrician. Children have access to teachers' classrooms, books, and toys. The fact is being in detention is a choice. We encourage all parents to take control of their departure by using the CBP Home app and receiving a free flight home and $2,600."
