the justice department has just issued a scathing and disturbing report on the louisville police department nearly two years after a nearly two year civil rights investigation. now, attorney general merrick garland launched this probe in the months after the louisville police shot and killed an unarmed black woman, breonna taylor inside of her home. a short time ago garland explained that that botched raid in march of 2020 was part of a practice of abuses by the city. >> the pd leader told the department breonna taylor was a symptom of problems that we have had for years. the justice department's findings in the report that we

are releasing today bear that out. >> and listen to this, these are just some of the very ugly examples that garland cited today. >> the justice department has also identified deficiencies in lmpd's response to and investigation of domestic violence and sexual assault. lmpd has relied heavily on pretextual traffic stops in black neighborhoods. some have videotaped themselves throwing drinks at pedestrians from their cars, insulted people with disabilities and called black people monkeys, animal and boy. >> cnn's evan perez is tracking all of this. so, evan, what else did they find in this extensive investigation some 90 pages of findings here? >> abby, this is a very ugly report on the practices of the

louisville police department, not only using things like invalid court warrants, trying to disproportionately target african americans for searches, they were using things like pre textual traffic stops which is somebody driving with a broken light, for instance, and they're using that to try to find other crimes. you see excessive force, you see unlawful stops of african americans throughout this entire louisville metropolitan area. it's also a problem that according to the justice department the louisville police department knew very much, very much much was existing for years and years, they did internal reports to study the problem, came up with these reports and then just buried them. here is attorney general merrick garland explaining more of what they found. >> the report finds that lmpd

uses excessive force, including unjustified neck restraints and the unreasonable use of police dogs and tasers, conducts searches based on invalid warrants, unlawfully executes warrants without knocking and announcing, unlawfully stops, searches, detains and arrests people, unlawfully discriminates against black people in enforcement activities, violates the rights of people engaged in protected speech, critical of policing, and along with louisville metro, discriminates against people with behavioral health disabilities when responding to them in crisis. >> abby, the report also found that this pattern of abuse extended to people with disabilities as well as people who are suffering from sexual assaults, sexual assault victims were also being abused. >> that stood out to me, too, evan. thank you very much for breaking all of that down. and for more on this let's go

straight to our analyst, we're joined by former fbi deputy director andy mccabe and also former federal prosecutor elliot williams. elliott, i want to start with you. as you just heard evan say, i mean, this report really points to widespread abuses, it touches not just on race, but also on gender, on people with disabilities. these probes have happened before, they happen all over the country in police departments big and small. what stood out to you on this one? >> what stands out to me, abby, is the fact that this is with the consent and agreement of the city of louisville's police department and mayor. oftentimes people think of this relationship between the justice department and these local police departments as hostile or combative and that it's the folks from washington coming and wagging their fingers at a local police department. here everyone worked together. there is a reason why the

attorney general gave these remarks in louisville, right, flanked by leadership of the police department and the city there. that's really significant here. it's a call for change both at the federal and local level and it seems that there's broad agreement with leadership there. >> that's such a good point. i wonder, andy, do you think that that is really the only way that these things change, if the local officials not just take this kind of feedbac doj, but also are a part of the process of actually fixing these problems? >> well, abby, it's really essential that you have that sort of collaboration for a number of reasons. first is that oftentimes police departments and police leaders are hamstrung in what they can do and what they can actually change within their own department, particularly where it comes to disciplining officers because they are restricted by broad, collective

bargaining agreements, that don't allow any effective, quick, substantial change. so often plils leadership is pleased to have doj come in and basically enforce the law and require that sort of change. and then as you mentioned, in order for this stuff to really stick, to push cultural change across a law enforcement institution is very hard, it takes a long time, it takes commitment over years and years -- >> they happen to often it almost seems that -- is it whack-a-mole that they're playing here, elliott? >> well, the justice department is kind of limited in its ability to set nationwide policing policy, that's a federalism question where the justice department can't really set standards for local police departments across the country. what can happen is when you have systemic abuses and problems, go in and try to come to an agreement, but let's not forget

here the justice department does have the ability to go in and sue and use the law if these negotiations break down. so it is a very powerful tool. your point is very well taken or the question is very well taken in that why can't -- it's clearly -- it's a bigger problem than just one police department, i think we can all stipulate to that, but what our government gives us is the ability only to handle it on a local case by case level. >> yeah. and, andy, merrick garland also specifically talked about violations by this viper unit in louisville, it was renamed something else later, but it piqued my interest because it sounded almost identical to what was going on in memphis with that scorpion unit involved in the tyre nichols case. what are your thoughts about the scrutiny now that we're seeing on these specialized units and whether they need to be looked more closely at? >> there are many -- we can cite many examples of specialized units kind of going rogue and

creating more problems than they're solving, however, we have to look at it from the other side as well. police chiefs and mayors are under enormous pressure to respond quickly to raises in crime rate. so they are often compelled to pull together these units and to kind of give them the green light to pursue some very aggressive law enforcement tactics. i think it's a great idea that doj is coming in here and at least opining and offering some guidance on how to best equip, train and most importantly supervise those units so they don't become, you know, units with a -- with a broad remit and basically, you know, out of control and not subjected to the rigorous sort of supervision that you need when you're really pushing the envelope on enforcing crime aggressively in places where the crime rates are very high. >> all right. elliott and andy, both of you stay there for a bit. in memphis there's new fallout

over the fatal beating of tyre nichols as we were discussing. the doj announced that it will work with the city to review the memphis police department. this comes as we wait for memphis to release 20 hours of additional audio and video from that january incident, but a court today just ordered a delay. cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent shimon prokupecz is with us now. shimon, we were supposed to get this additional video, an ex trord amount of it, actually. what happens now? >> i don't know and i don't -- i'm not entirely clear on this, abby, as well. so the city, which for weeks has been promising to release this video, they had every reason to expect it late today, late this afternoon, and then all of a sudden we get word that one of the attorneys for now former officers of the defendant, desmond mills, his attorney blake balint suddenly at the last minute files this motion with the memphis court to

prevent the city from releasing the video. we don't know why this motion was filed, we don't know why the judge has agreed to this. they had a very quick hearing. my understanding is it was in chambers, it wasn't even in the public, and this decision was made that they were going to delay the release of this video that certainly we've been asking to see, that the public, that the community has been asking to see, some 20 hours more of what went on in the moments before and after police encountered tyre nichols. so we're not getting this video today and certainly i think our lawyers are going to get involved in it and we're going to try to figure out what happened here. all of this comes, as you said, the department of justice today announcing that in memphis they're going to do a review, a review of the police department's use of force policies, their deescalation policies, but also, abby, you were just talking about specialized units. the doj said that after the tyre nichols incident they got calls from plils chiefs across the country saying, we need help.

we want you to start giving us some guidance and assistance on these specialized units. so as a result of that they are now going to start looking at specialized units all across the cou country. so there is a lot still obviously going on in the memphis investigation and now we're seeing doj starting to look at what the memphis police there have been doing. there is a lot of similarities. you talk about this viper unit in louisville, same thing here, you had a car stop that was -- we're not entirely clear for why, that then ultimately led to this encounter with police, this aggressive encounter that tyre nichols had with police. but, again, you know, a lot happening there in memphis as we now have to wait to see exactly what this other information is and when it's going to become public. >> we know that you will stay on top of it. shimon, before you go, i know that the names of the five officers that have been charged have been released, but not the six other police personnel. any idea of why that is, even at

this late stage? >> yeah, it's not entirely clear why that is. we were expecting to get more information tomorrow, like personnel records and how they ultimately decided and these administrative hearings. they have had administrative hearings for 13 officers, 13 officers in memphis have faced administrative hearings in relation to this. seven have been fired, three have been suspended, one resigned in the middle of this because they were expecting that they would be fired. and then two actually had their charges dismissed at these administrative hearings. and the city also told us yesterday in a city council hearing they were going to release information about those administrative hearings tomorrow, but now all of that, again, is delayed as we try to figure out why the judge at this late hour really just before the city was getting ready to release this information decided to prevent them from doing so. >> all right. shimon prokupecz, thanks very much. we will get back with you if you have any more information on how

that is going to get. but let's get back to elliot williams and andrew mccabe standing by for us. elliot, can i just start with you, i don't know if you have any thoughts on this delay. i mean, it seems odd to me considering that so much of the other video was released. if it's video of the same incident what would be the justification for holding it back? >> so these are pure -- this is pure speculation and guessing, abby, and i'm guessing that perhaps because there have been defendants charged with crimes now, this is now evidence in a pending criminal investigation, and perhaps there was some caution on the part of the judge about, either, number one, prejudicing the defendants who have been charged with crimes, or people who are shown in the videos but haven't been charged with crime, uncharged sort of free citizens as it were. i don't know. now, i would think that this material would eventually come out, given the immense public interest in it and, like you said, abby, the fact that other videos have been released, too. also perhaps because they're moving forward a criminal trial in a few months, they're worried

about further tainting or prejudicing the jury pool, you know, as they might move toward picking one, but, again, it's hard to see why the judge came to this conclusion today. >> yeah, it's definitely a little bit of a head scratcher. andy, i want to get back to this issue of the doj conducting this collaborative review, their description of the memphis police department. from your understanding what would that entail? >> well, abby, this is essentially the very beginning of the process we're seeing kind of come to a bit of a conclusion in louisville. so doj will go in with a team of investigators and they will really focus on the activities it sounds like of the specialized unit, the scorpion unit that we know was involved in the tyre nichols attack. but it will probably go much broader than that. they're going to look for things that we refer to as pattern and practice investigations to see if they can uncover whether or not the memphis police

department is routinely violating the law, routinely violating their own policies and really creating an environment that poll rates those sort of violations and, you know, bad behavior on the part of their officers. it's important to point out, though, abby, each one of these investigations, even one like louisville where we've seen some significant findings, even if it's just a small percentage of the sworn law enforcement workforce in louisville, the bigger concern here is that they were able to do these things for such a long period of time and really not receive any consequences from their own management and leadership. people knew this was going on and did nothing about it. so really the goal of these pattern and practice investigations is to restructure the way the department supervising their law enforcement officers to ensure they find acts of, you know, poor behavior and violations of law and take care of them immediately so they don't let that stuff persist.

>> and it was notable to me that merrick garland made the point that police officers want their departments to operate lawfully and need to be fully equipped to be able to do that so that they themselves don't get caught up in these criminal -- criminal cases and criminal investigations. but thank you both for being with us on both of those stories. elliot williams and andrew mccabe, thank you very much. and the nation's top intel leaders getting grilled on russia and china in a hearing on worldwide threats. why the head of the fbi is saying that tiktok is one of beijing's most dangerous weapons. plus, new details on the deadly kidnapping of americans in mexico. what a survivor said about watching her two friends die. and even more hard evidence that top fox news stars like tucker carlson did not believe the false narratives that they routinely still spout on their shows.

at inspiresleep.com on capitol hill today talk of the potential danger china poses to the united states. beijing is a top focus of the annual senate intelligence committee's hearing on world wide threats. that hearing offers a rare opportunity for the public to hear directly from the u.s. intel leaders and their message was simple, an aggressive china will not back down. >> the people's republic of china, which is increasingly challenging the united states economically, technologically, politically and militarily around the world remains our unparalleled priority. president xi jinping will continue efforts to achieve xi's vision of making china the preeminent power in east asia and a major power on the world stage. to fulfill xi's vision, however,

the ccp is increasingly convinced that it can only do so at the expense of u.s. power and influence. >> joining me now is cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier and retired lieutenant general mark hertling, he is a military analyst and former commander general of the u.s. army, europe and seventh army. kim, that quote, china remains our unparalleled priority, that's really significant, especially in the context this week of china basically warning the united states to tone down the rhetoric, but it almost seems as though both sides are denying their role in the spiraling of tensions between the two and the u.s. intelligence community is not backing down. >> absolutely. the u.s. intelligence community years back felt like nobody was listening to their repeated warnings about beijing's expansion and intentions of expansion in terms of military,

their military intelligence, and also things like their influencing operations, trying to influence what americans think about china, but about their own government and that's where they really got into the whole, you know, warnings about tiktok and how it can feed certain messages to u.s. audiences to influence opinion. and now the intelligence community really feels like, okay, we've got your attention, the spy balloon helped, and we're going to lay out all the different ways that this is a national enterprise for china to eventually become the premiere world power and that means taking back taiwan eventually, hopefully not by force from beijing's perspective, but that it's something that bears watching. and that it is their job to keep watching and warning the white house about it. >> and general hertling, tensions between the u.s. and china it would be no exaggeration to say it's the highest it's been in many, many years. the director of national intelligence avril haines said

that china will continue its effort to undercut the united states, but as a military person how concerned are you that that actually could spiral into a kinetic conflict, a military conflict between these two countries? >> abby, what i suggest is the report that the dni puts out is relatively short, it's unclassified, it's ten chapters and 40 pages, and they address that. in fact, there is a great line from the report and if i can remember it off the top of my head it said, beijing is increasingly combining their growing military power with an economic, technological and diplomatic influence to not only strengthen the party in china, but to pursue regional preeminence and pursue global influence. that to me is problematic. director haynes has a very good point with all the other intelligence officials saying that it should be the priority, but truthfully, abby, what i'd also say is it's a short and

long-term priority. we have to address some of the key issues now that china is doing, their advances in wireless communication, semiconductors, quantum synthetic biology which i had to look up to understand, but at the same time i was commander in europe in 2011 when the obama administration said we need to pivot our attention to the east, to asia, to china, and what happened was we started paying less attention to countries like russia and we see where that got us in 2014. so this dn "i-report" which is relatively report addresses all of the key factors that the intelligence community has to watch. i've been reading these for years, this is the most complex and complicated one i've seen because of the amount of challenges and threats that the united states faces today more so than ever before. >> and, kim, you teed this up just a moment ago, the fbi

corrector chris wray raised his national security concerns about tiktok. take a listen. >> could the chinese government through its ownership of bytedance that owns bytedance u.s., if they wanted to, and bytedance u.s. were willing to account cooperate or forced to cooperate, could they use tiktok to control data on millions of users? >> yes. >> could they use it to control the software on millions of devices given the opportunity to do so? >> yes. >> could they use it to drive narratives, like to divide americans against each other, for example, let's say china wants to invade taiwan to make sure that americans are seeing videos, arguing why taiwan belongs to china, why the u.s. should not intervene? >> yes. >> i think a lot of americans who have tiktok on their phone wonder is this being blown out of proportion? >> i think a lot of people don't realize that president xi he did

what may sound like a very boring thing in 2017, i changed chinese law to give the government access to all private companies' data, programming, et cetera. so that means -- and also he made all chinese companies cooperate with military companies and technology if needed. so that means that beijing can ostensibly tell bytedance you're going to show us your code, you're going to show us your data, you're going to change your code and you're going to let us send certain messages out, even though i know the owners of bytedance push back against that, that is still technically the possibility under that 2017 policy change that xi made. >> and you heard also there the fbi director making the point that in china the line between public and private entities is just not the same as what we're used to here in the united states. we have to leave it there. kim dozier and general mark hertling, both of you thank you

very much. another major hearing on capitol hill today the faa's active administrator facing lawmakers after six major incidents and close calls already this year. flight safety in the u.s. is a growing concern and just yesterday in florida two small planes collided in midair. officials say all four occupants of those two planes were killed. let's bring in cnn's aviation correspondent pete muntean. pete has been following the hearings today. so, pete, what did we learn today from these hearings on the hill? >> reporter: well, this is the second appearance by faa acting administrator billy nolan on capitol hill in the last month and really the focus here was the aircraft certification changes, the reforms that came after the 737 max disasters, but those close calls on america's runways between commercial airliners, mind you, kept coming up. what is so interesting here is that since billy owns' last appearance on capitol hill there

have been three more of these, six in total since the start of 2023, jfk, austin, burbank, boston, sarasota, also in honolulu. so this is happening quite literally nationwide. the big thing here, billy nolan says, the acting head of the faa, is that this is something that the faa is taking seriously, but also he insists that aviation right now is safe. there will be a safety summit held by the faa in just one week's time where he says the faa will connect the dots, if there are any to connect between these two incidents. i want you to listen to the acting administrator of the faa now. >> safety is always a journey, we are never going to declare victory and if there's something to learn we're going to look for ways and opportunities to learn it. >> reporter: senator ted cruz is one of the ranking members on that senate commerce committee that learned heard from nolan today and he said the issues are

concerning. we will see if there is any commonality between them, that is the big question now. >> it very much is. obviously a close call is not an actual, you know, coa , collisit it is very concerning for people who are on those planes. pete muntean, thank you very much for all of that. and right now the two americans who survived that deadly kidnapping in mexico, they are recovering at a hospital in texas. one of the survivors recounted watching her two friends die in that horrible attack. new details next. so no matter what the market's doing, he's r ready. and that's... how you collect coins. your money nevever stops workig for you with merrill, a bank of america company. what does it mean to be ever better? its your customers getting what they ordered when they expect it. discover how ryder ecommer makes your customer's experience ever better.

she watched her friends die. one of the four americans kidnapped in mexico told her mother that when a gunman ambushed their group on friday two of her friends were immediately shot and killed. mexican authorities completed the autopsies today and the two survivors are getting medical treatment in texas. right now one person is in custody. cnn's rosa flores is at the texas hospital where the two victims are recovering and cnn's dianne gallagher is in their hometown in south carolina. rosa, let's start with you. it does sound like this attack was unfortunately over before it even started. what else do we know about the sequence of events here? >> reporter: you know, abby, i just drove from the hotel where

these americans were staying to the international bridge where they crossed and it's about an 11-minute drive. now, mexican authorities say that they crossed at about 9:18 a.m. on friday and that that dramatic video of the kidnapping was taken at about 11:45 and that in between that time the americans were lost, they were trying to find the doctor's office where one of the americans was supposed to get a medical procedure. now, in that dramatic video you see how they are dragged and put into the bed of a pickup truck. now, police at that point really didn't issue a statement. that video actually circulated in mexican news outlets throughout friday and there was really no statement issued by police at that point in time in mexico. now, on saturday one of the friends of latavia washington mcgee reported this to the police, on sunday a family

member watched that dramatic video and started asking questions. it was on sunday actually that the fbi issued its first statement and overnight on monday that's when it became international news. abby, it was on tuesday following a tip according to mexican authorities that they actually followed this tip that they received that led them to a wooden house in the outskirts of matamoros where they actually found the americans and, like you mentioned, tragically two of them dead, the other two survived. >> diane, you are there in south carolina where these families, i'm sure, are broken over how this has transpired. what are we learning about these victims? >> reporter: abby, it's important to remember that these four were friends who grew up together in a small town. they have been lifelong friends. two of them survived and two of them did not. and that is breaking all of these families. i spoke with the mother of latavia washington mcgee this morning and she said that she is

absolutely elated that her daughter is coming home, she believes as early as today, but she is devastated that her nephew shaeed woodard who she raised as a son for the teen years of his life after she tells me his mother died and then zindell brown, who she said was also like a kid to her, they all grew up together, did not make it. now, she spoke with her daughter yesterday, she said that latavia mcgee was crying and upset on the phone while she was in the hospital and recounted exactly what happened and what she experienced to her mother. >> they was driving through and a van came up and hit them and that van it started shooting at the car, shooting inside the van or whatever, and i guess she said the others tried to run and they got shot at the same time. shaeed and zindell, they all got

shot at the same time and she watched them -- she watched them die. put everyone on that has something to do with it, i want them locked up. >> reporter: now, eric williams also was -- survived, he was shot at least three times according to his wife in the legs. she said that she spoke with him as well on the phone yesterday, abby, that he was extremely emotional, mourning the death of his long-time friends, but she also noted that their 11-year-old son was overcome with emotion as well, so happy that he could speak with his father after these terrifying few days that these families have experienced. >> just a horrible tragedy all around, rosa and diane, thank you for your work on this. coming up next for us, i hate him passionately. that's a text message in newly released documents that reveal that fox news' top stars really thought about donald trump in their own words coming up next.

today hundreds of just released documents including private texts, emails and depositions from the dominion voting systems lawsuit against fox news they expose what top executives and on air hosts at that network really thought about former president donald trump, despite what they were telling their viewers on air. tucker carlson backed trump's false claims in public, but in private messages he said, quote, we are very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. i truly can't wait. i hate him passionately. we are all pretending we have a lot to show for us because

admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest, but, come on, there isn't really an upside to trump. in previous released messages carlson wrote, quote, he is a demonic force, a destroyer, but he's not going to destroy us. i've been thinking about this every day for four years. now, this is the same tucker carlson who still pals around with trump, who right now is selectively airing footage from the capitol insurrection in an attempt to exonerate the former president. so let's bring in cnn's senior media reporter oliver darcy. so, oliver, tucker carlson is not alone in any of this, either rupert murdoch himself admitted that the network went too far in pushing trump's lies. it's so interesting to me to see and hear the disdain for trump in these messages while on air the commentary, the entire network is so sycophantic.

>> this trove of messages exposed these people as total frauds. they say one thing on air when the cameras are on to their audience and behind the scenes the person they have been cheerleading for years and years they trash them, they call them in very harsh terms. i mean, in these text messages as you just read tucker carlson sounds more like an msnbc host than a fox news host. if someone else were saying this, if someone else had the courage to go on camera and say these truths about the president tucker carlson and other fox news hosts would attack them, but in private they're saying these things. separately rupert murdoch, the fox chairman, acknowledges behind the scenes or at least in his deposition here that some of his hosts went too far. i want to read you part of an email that he had sent to suzanne scott, he says about election lies, maybe sean and laura went too far, oh, very well for sean to tell you he was

in despair about trump but what did he tell his viewers? and that really gets to the heart of this thing because, again, in front of the cameras these hosts were saying one thing, but behind the scenes everyone knew the truth, they just didn't share it with their viewers. >> yeah, as we were just discussing, i mean, this is happening right now where tucker carlson is airing this january 6th footage trying to whitewash what happened on that day, but the interesting thing is that the response on capitol hill has been pretty harsh. they are not particularly happy with his use of this footage. >> yeah, you don't have to take it from cnn that tucker carlson is trying to sanitize the events of january 6, you can just take it from congressional republicans. >> i think it is unfair to the american people. it needs to be broad and clear that it shows everything, not just cherry pick through however

many hours. >> gop republicans are saying tucker carlson is being dishonest about his presentation of this footage and i think that really just says it all, abby. >> yeah, it really does, and it also is just sad. i mean, i talked about the disdain for trump, there's also a disdain for fox news viewers where they're being lied to in this way day after day, oliver, thanks for your work on this. brace yourself for bigger, faster and more painful interest rates. what the fed chairman jerome powell is telling congress on capitol hill and what it could mean for you and your pocketbook. they customize your car i insurance, so you only payy for what you need. with the money we saved, we thought we'd try electric unicycles.. whoa! careful, babe! saving was definitely easier. hey babe, i think i got it! it's actually... whooooa! ok, show-off! help! oh! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

fed chairman jerome powell is back on capitol hill today, one day after warning that bigger interest rate hikes could be coming. now, that led to a big wall street sell-off. here's how the dow is reacting today. it's been down most of the day. cnn's rahel solomon is here to sort this all out. so, rahel, once again, powell is basically saying the data is almost a little too good. and that the next interest rate will depend on what the future data looks like. so what kind of numbers is he looking to see? >> exactly, abby. data-dependent is what we always hear from jay powell. so we hear from the fed in exactly two weeks, abby, but before then, we get a slew of

economic data that jay powell and other policy makers will be watching very closely to help determine their next rate hike decision. sto so friday, we get the all-important jobs report for the month of february. next week, we get two inflation reports, the consumer price index and producer price index and retail sales. and what jay powell and other policy makers will be watching for are any science of cooling. is the medicine working. i want to show you all that the federal reserve has done this year in terms of interest rate increases. and as you can see, abby, it is a lot. 4.5% since last march. and yet we're not seeing the type of changes in the economy that you may have expected. and so, as one policy maker put out recently, you know, the data isn't really cooperating. so what we'll be watching for the next few weeks is to see, is that starting to change. are we starting to see inflation cool in a more meaningful way. are we starting to see the labor market cool in a more meaningful way, which has become a bit controversial. i should say, however, we got some new reports this morning that showed the labor market is still really strong.

adp adding an additional 242,000 jobs for private payroll. still a really strong labor market, abby. >> the economy is roaring, but unfortunately that is not good news for interest rates. rahel solomon, thank you very much for all of that. and that does it for me here on cnn's newsroom. thank you for joining me on this international women's day. but don't go anywhere just yet. we have much more news ahead right here on cnn. hehey david! connect with an advisor to create your personalized plan. let's find the right investmements for your goals. okay, great. j.p. morgan wealth management. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaquesoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla ia pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. and no routine blood tests required. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.
