Medicaid is popular! About 3 in 4 Americans view the program favorably but Republicans are pushing a budget w/ devastating cuts — to finance Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires. The hospitals in GOP districts particularly in rural areas will suffer & potentially close. #DontCutMyMedicaid #MOMSky

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.

The 'find out' phase is here.

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

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

First nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by Trump…deleting a resource that experts said improved public safety by helping 2 prevent bad officers from jumping 2 new agencies and starting over with clean records. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

A number of federal agencies, from HHS to the USDA, have laid off employees only to rescind those terminations days later. An expert says it "suggests something about mismanagement of government."

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

Call your weekend

The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but haven’t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact they’re making it worse. Why the rush?

Republicans have to listen to Americans scared about rising costs, job cuts, and attacks on democracy, public health and education. Billionaires like Musk are putting themselves ahead of acting in service of hard-working families. www.nbcnews.com/video/georgi...

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

I miss the days when YA drama was like "This person in my debut group one-starred my book on Goodreads" and not like "this school district in Florida set a bunch of books on fire and also the FBI now has me on a list for writing about Black people."

Everything is going according to plan: Russia openly threatens all European countries and the US, while they sit back and do nothing to stop it…

The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.
