A new federal court filing just raised the stakes in a contentious, high-profile vaccine lawsuit.
In a motion filed today, CHD argued that because
@HHSGov
rewrote the rules governing the CDC’s ACIP after the court granted the injunction, the original basis for the injunction no longer exists.

No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.
Thank you

🚨 Here is 10 minutes of me confronting the California politicians who authored the "Stop Nick Shirley Act"…
When confronted about AB 2624:
Lied about authoring the bill
Couldn't justify the bill
Acted like they didn't know about the bill
This bill will CRIMINALIZE exposing fraud, violates the 1st Amendment, protects NGOs from disclosing taxpayer dollars, and these politicians see no problem with it. The fraud is now exposed and they need new laws to hide it.
EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.

As of April 2026, discussions are ongoing regarding proposed "tariff rebate checks" (sometimes referred to as tariff dividends or stimulus checks) funded by revenue from international tariffs, but no checks have been authorized or sent yet.
2026 Tariff Rebate Check Proposals
Proposed Amount: Proposals have suggested payments of $600 to $2,000+ per individual, often with an income limit to target low-to-middle-income families.
Legislative Status: Several bills, including the "American Worker Rebate Act of 2025" and the "American Consumer Tariff Rebate Act of 2026," have been introduced to establish this system.
Timeline: While discussed for 2026, experts note these checks require Congressional approval, and a significant portion of the tariff agenda has faced legal challenges.
Purpose: The aim is to provide a "dividend" from tariff revenue collected on imported goods.
Previous Federal Stimulus Payments (COVID-19)
The IRS has already issued all first, second, and third Economic Impact Payments.

Missing Payments: If you did not receive the full amount of your stimulus checks, you may still be able to claim them as a 2020 or 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit by filing or amending your tax return for those years.
Eligibility: Generally, these were available to U.S. citizens or residents with a valid Social Security Number (SSN) who were not dependents.
Other Potential Rebates
State-Level Rebates: Some states may offer their own tax refunds or rebates; for instance, California's Middle Class Tax Refund was a one-time payment issued between 2022 and 2023.
IRS Phasing Out Paper Checks: The IRS announced that paper tax refund checks will be phased out starting September 30, 2025.
