While most MAHA-minded Americans are cheering in light of the CDC’s latest alteration to the U.S. childhood immunization schedule — which dropped from 17 to 11 diseases — BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes it’s “not enough.”“I don’t want that to distract you from applauding what is happening now, because it’s all good changes. He can’t just like totally just bust up the entire system immediately. He’s got to get there,” she explains.The new schedule also doesn’t recommend against getting your children vaccinated for certain diseases but instead breaks a longer list of diseases down into three categories.In the category that’s recommended for all children, there are 11 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, HPV, and varicella.RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal are now in the group that’s “recommended for certain high-risk groups or populations,” and rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, hep A, hep B, and meningococcal are in a third group titled “recommended based on shared clinical decision-making.”“I don’t agree with any of these,” Gonzales says.“So there is still work to be done. However, if they want to stair-step this, the way that they have stair-stepped everything else, they would do it in this way,” she adds.And while Gonzales doesn’t believe the Trump administration has gone far enough, the left of course is claiming it's gone too far.“There’s always the fearmongering. ‘Oh my God, RFK is taking away our right to vaccines. How many children, how many beautiful children are going to be killed because RFK didn’t give them their precious chickenpox shots?’ Well, actually, spoiler alert, zero probably,” Gonzales says.“But let’s just be clear ... no vaccine has been eliminated. OK. The CDC is still requiring insurance companies to cover the vaccines if people want them,” Gonzales says, before playing a clip of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) claiming otherwise.“You promised that you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them,” Warren yelled at RFK Jr.“I know you’ve taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, senator,” he responds.“I’m not taking them away,” he added, while she continued to argue.“Elizabeth Warren,” Gonzales comments, annoyed, “has to be the most insufferable on the Senate side.”“Just the shrill, just like the Karen energy of like her voice makes me want to jump off a building,” she adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

As the Trump administration continues to meet resistance from blue-state governors across the nation, California is now reaping what it sowed by illegally issuing trucker licenses to foreigners.On Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced that it was "reckoning day" for the state of California and its Democrat governor, Gavin Newsom.'Gavin refused. So now I am pulling nearly $160 MILLION from California.'In a social media post, Duffy explained the Trump administration's "demands": "Follow the rules. Revoke the unlawfully-issued licenses to dangerous foreign drivers. Fix the system so this never happens again." Duffy's post comes after months of demanding that California revoke commercial driver's licenses illegally issued to foreigners. Duffy provided a short video showing that Newsom had many opportunities to comply with federal law.RELATED: Illegal alien truckers with California licenses accused of hauling $7M in cocaine across state lines Photographer: Victor J. Blue/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesHowever, "Gavin refused," Duffy said. "So now I am pulling nearly $160 MILLION from California. Under @POTUS, federal dollars won’t fund this CHARADE."The funding will be withheld from California beginning in fiscal year 2027. California agreed in November to revoke every illegally issued license within 60 days. As of the January 5, 2026, deadline, California has failed to follow through on this agreement, leading to the major withholding of federal funding. At least 17,000 licenses were expected to be revoked on Monday, per the original agreement. According to a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration audit reviewed by Fox News, more than 20,000 active non-domiciled CDLs were issued in violation of federal rules. The FMCSA reportedly described the situation in California as a "systemic collapse" of the commercial licensing program. "Federal regulations are clear: states must correct safety deficiencies on a schedule mutually agreed upon by the agency, and California failed to meet its commitment to rescind these unlawfully issued licenses by January 5," FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs said, according to Fox News. "We will not accept a corrective plan that knowingly leaves thousands of drivers holding noncompliant licenses behind the wheel of 80,000-pound trucks in open defiance of federal safety regulations," Barrs added. California DMV spokesperson Eva Spiegel responded to the loss of federal funding in a statement: “We strongly disagree with the federal government’s decision to withhold vital transportation funding from California — their action jeopardizes public safety because these funds are critical for maintaining and improving the roadways we all rely on every day.”Like Blaze News?

Nine Republicans voted to advance the Democrat-led health care bill Wednesday, defying the GOP to extend Obamacare subsidies. Republican Reps. Nick LaLota of New York, Thomas Kean of New Jersey, Mike Lawler of New York, Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, David Valadao of California, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Max Miller of Ohio, Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania, and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida joined Democrats to bring a vote on the health care subsidies that expired at the end of 2025. 'DEMOCRATS have increased health care costs exponentially.'Notably Lawler, Fitzpatrick, Bresnahan, and Mackenzie also signed onto House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) discharge petition last month that would have forced a House vote to extend the subsidies. A final vote on the bill is now expected to take place Thursday. RELATED: Senate tanks GOP solution to Obamacare subsidy problems Kent Nishimura/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesLawler defended his vote aiding Democrats, saying the solution to fix the "broken" health care system is "through a bipartisan approach.""Republicans and Democrats can agree that our healthcare system is broken and must be fixed through a bipartisan approach," Lawler wrote. "Enough of the blame game on both sides. Let’s focus on actually delivering affordable healthcare for Americans."RELATED: California Republican suddenly dies at age 65 Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesSpeaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has maintained that the Affordable Care Act, especially the COVID-era subsidies, are responsible for skyrocketing premiums. "Obamacare was created and passed entirely by DEMOCRATS," Johnson said in a post on X during the 2025 government shutdown. "Since Obamacare took effect, health insurance premiums have SKYROCKETED. The Obamacare COVID-era subsidies were also passed entirely by DEMOCRATS, and set to expire at the end of this year.""DEMOCRATS have increased health care costs exponentially, and are now shutting down the government — as they try to cover up THEIR OWN FAILURES and somehow blame Republicans."Like Blaze News?

A 37-year-old Colorado native was fatally shot in Minneapolis on Wednesday while apparently attempting to ram a federal agent with an SUV. Renee Nicole Macklin Good's death and the moments leading up to it were captured on video from multiple angles. Footage clearly shows Good, whose SUV appears to have been strategically stopped to block traffic amid a federal immigration operation, disobeying repeated orders from law enforcement to exit her vehicle, then driving in the direction of the federal agent, who ultimately drew his sidearm and opened fire.'You can accept that this woman's death is a tragedy while acknowledging it's a tragedy of her own making.'The liberal media that rushed five years ago to vilify Ashli Babbitt following her fatal shooting by Michael Byrd at the U.S. Capitol was quick on Wednesday to pen hagiographies about Good, portraying her as a blameless victim of a callous federal agent.The Associated Press — a publication whose relationship with the truth has shown significant signs of strain in recent years — helped bolster this narrative with an article titled, "Woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis was a mother of 3, poet and new to the city."The article doesn't bother mentioning that Good tried to ram a federal agent until the eighth paragraph, and even then it insinuates that was how "Trump administration officials painted" the incident.Prior to getting to why the woman may have been killed in front of her lesbian partner, the AP noted:"She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.""In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a 'poet and writer and wife and mom.' She said she was currently 'experiencing Minneapolis,' displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account.""A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating."After both suggesting Good had simply "pulled forward" when a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot her and casting doubt on the Trump administration's characterization of her as a domestic terrorist, the AP made sure that readers knew Good was a "devoted Christian" who "loved to sing."RELATED: Tim Walz says Minnesota is 'at war' with the federal government after fatal ICE shooting Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty ImagesThe same publication took a markedly different approach when writing about the death of Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt in January 2021, accusing Babbitt of amplifying "false allegations" on social media in the opening sentence of its write-up.While Babbitt may not have been a "poet" like Good, she bravely served her country in Afghanistan and Iraq. The AP glossed over that fact. Instead, the AP focused on Babbitt's social media posts, claiming they were "profane" and contained "unsubstantiated views."The AP is hardly the only publication now painting Good as a martyr after painting Babbitt as a kook or a radical.The difference in approach at NBC News is particularly striking.The title for the network's Jan. 7, 2021, article about Babbitt is "Woman killed in Capitol was Trump supporter who embraced conspiracy theories." The title for its Wednesday article about Good is "Woman fatally shot by ICE agent identified as resident 'out caring for her neighbors.'"Vice President JD Vance said of Good's death on Wednesday, "You can accept that this woman's death is a tragedy while acknowledging it's a tragedy of her own making. Don't illegally interfere in federal law enforcement operations and try to run over our officers with your car. It's really that simple."While Democrats joined the liberal media in ignoring the vice president's advice and characterizing Good as the victim of a malevolent federal agency, President Donald Trump, Vance, and other Republicans defended ICE."I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch," Trump wrote on Truth Social, "The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense."Like Blaze News?
