This is huge breaking news. Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Chief of Naval Ops, Vice of the Air Force and all three JAG’s of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Watch this breaking news report we did for @votevets.org tonight. This is outragous. www.youtube.com/live/OdOjEdR...

This is a red alert for US science, for new cures & treatments for diseases that afflict everyone in this country. This isn't "oh, it will blow over." Soon we will have reached the point of no return destroying what it has taken decades to build. WE NEED TO BE BANGING DOWN THE DOORS IN CONGRESS.

Here's one more action, bc I realized that Chair of the House Ag Committee's district (appropriately) includes State College. If you're at Penn State, plan a trip to one of his offices to ask him he's not holding a hearing on USDA firing people in charge of bird flu. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
