Friends - we will be doing additional content on this Monday. But a quick primer on what you need to know about Measles, from a recent segment. Stay vigilant, stay informed. youtube.com/watch?v=XNZP...

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Nice job, maga! Kings Musk & Trump don’t need Telehealth — so they’re taking it away from everyone: all of you who are not as rich, powerful or privileged as Trump & his Tech Bros. Why are Americans struggling to make ends meet be stripped of this invaluable healthcare tool? We have to fight!!!

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

This guy called Zelenksy a dictator this morning.

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, is sounding the alarm over a massive measles outbreak in neighboring Texas. Cassidy fucked around and voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr as head of HHS. Now Louisianans, and all Americans, get to find out about deadly outbreaks of containable diseases.

Senator Bill Cassidy, a physician who voted to confirm Robert Kennedy Jr., posted this today.

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

HAPPY PRESIDENTS’ DAY TO PRESIDENT MUSK!!!!

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This is fascism.

Abortions are set to resume in Missouri after a judge blocked regulations that had restricted providers even after voters approved enshrining abortion rights into the state’s constitution.

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

ABC: “.. Multiple current and former employees described the situation as ‘a national security crisis.’” @abcnewsgo.bsky.social abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

Too. Little. Too. Late. ✨

WSJ tops Page One with its piece about Amazon — “a company that prides itself on frugality” — bidding $40m for Melaina’s doc, “nearly three times the next-closest offer,” after dinner with Bezos. $AMZN

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

RFK Jr. has always been one of the most dangerous men in American public life. Now, with the vast powers that come with his position at HHS—not to mention the bully pulpit—he is one of the most dangerous men in the world.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha times infinity

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

If Musk, Capo Trump’s enforcer, meant to freeze the work of government, he’s doing a great job. By short-circuiting the legislative process, he has invited (and is receiving) lawsuits that will freeze everything in place. This is what Amateur Hour gets you.

True.

Senator Lindsey Graham, before: “USAID is a force for good, creating a great impression for our country, improving the lives of others, which is good foreign policy, good national security.”

In nearly 40 years in uniform, I often served alongside AID workers. Columbia, Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.They are brave and true and deliver real security for a tiny amount of the federal budget. Almost anyone in uniform would endorse their contributions. Shutting them down is a huge mistake.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump's new Attorney General Pam Bondi has just disbanded the DOJ task force dedicated to enforcing sanctions against Russia and targeting oligarchs close to the Kremlin. The task force previously brought indictments against prominent oligarchs, including Konstantin Malofeyev.

Suddenly the "America First" movement wants to spend all our money developing condos in the Middle East.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Ronald Reagan: “Our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies; they are our allies. We should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends—weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.”

The HHS nominee is a dangerous science-denying conspiracy nut. The FBI nominee pleaded the 5th to his involvement in criminal conspiracies and has fund raised for violent insurrectionists. The DNI nominee is a Russian asset. ...and here we are, doubtful if anything can be done to stop them.
