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.

I'm digging down details on a few stories, but I'm very interested in hearing from any federal employees or contractors: * who are just seeing DOGE folks coming into your agencies now * about what has happened in the wake of a DOGE bomb: rehires, canceled programs, big changes, etc. Signal: crg.32

The 'find out' phase is here.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

The last thing King Donold wants is for millions of Americans to protest in Washington DC and just not leave.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

“This is truly a national tragedy and one that is being executed by people who do not understand the value of scientific research.” 🧪 from @science.org

This is a coup.

Need a mental break of the doom and gloom? Here’s my kitten!

Congressional Dems need to start mapping out how they’ll hold Trump/Elon accountable if they flip the House/Senate in two years. They’re already defying court orders and skirting the law—will there be anyone left in govt to stand up to them after their purge?

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

It’s FUKKKING tiring already!

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

JFC indeed.

Yes, making Trump unimportant means making America unimportant to the world. A hefty price but it must be paid to stop the spread of our cancer.

🧵 It’s Sunday morning, and eggs are still expensive, so here’s a pro baking tip: You can replace eggs with baking soda & vinegar. This works really well for pancakes (and even cakes, muffins, and quick breads). Here’s how ⬇️ (1/4)

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

Read banned books!!!

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Just saw a post screenshotting this & saying they’d unfollowed me over it. Some Dems are responding well, but some aren’t and the base is clearly mad about it. There *will* be primary challenges, and just like AOC in 2018, a few of them will be successful. So … sorry for saying that out loud?

Elon Musk re-shared a tweet containing Judge John McConnell Jr.’s daughter’s job and financial records on X after the judge ruled against DOGE.

Dear Germany - Please tell Trump to sit down. Be humble.

Wildfire “season” is going to just get worse because of this. What did he say last time? We just need to go in and rake the forest?

i do not understand what elon and trump would be doing differently if there weren’t themselves actual agents of beijing and moscow

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

OK, I wrote my “who’s going to enforce it?” piece. It’s a lengthy read, trying to respond to a lot of questions I’ve gotten over the past three weeks, but it’s about democracy so I decided it was worth it to lay out in depth, with examples, what I’ve been talking about here and elsewhere.

Sorry world, more than half of us don’t claim him. 😬
