Zelensky has been fighting for democracy in Ukraine. Trump, aka-‘Wannabe dictator bone spurs’ and his fascist goons are trying to destroy democracy here in the U.S. If I had to go into battle— I know which one I would want on my side.

He's a fucking child. And it's a bad troll too. Every time anti-traffic-congestion, pro-enviroment measures are being taken in the US, the right wingers are against it. Do they hate themselves really that much that they want to destroy the place they live at? Or is it just to own the libs? Ugh.

BREAKING: Gov. Hochul just issued a new statement that the resignation of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ top aides “raises serious questions about the future of this mayoral administration.” and that she’ll convene a meeting tomorrow to discuss the mayor’s future. She isn't ruling out removing Mr. Adams.

The abrupt terminations of more than 1,000 employees, including new Epidemic Intelligence Officers, across CDC are deeply disturbing. For more than 70 years, EIS officers have served on America’s front line as its disease detectives, ready at a moment’s notice to respond to emerging outbreaks.

Half of CDC "disease detectives" terminated. DOGE takes aim at US disease surveillance. Entire first-year class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service must be out by 5 p.m., sources say. Also: a major CDC contractor "just let go," and others may follow. insidemedicine.substack.com/p/news-half-...
