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.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Trump’s administration is the richest in modern history. Meanwhile, everyday Americans struggle to afford the basics. Tax the rich, fund the people.

Today the Senate votes on Kash Patel for our FBI Director. Call them. Leave message. (202) 224-3121. Patel is a danger to American democracy & to every American. - he aims to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and to all freedom loving Americans.

Typical Trump lie: He said Zelensky’s approval rating was 4% when in fact it hovers around 57%, far higher than Trump’s has ever reached. Another: He called Ukraine’s democratically elected leader a “dictator.” Yet another: He blamed Ukraine for Russia’s military invasion of its sovereign territory

It's a great question. Why are Republican members of Congress idly sitting by while their constituents lives get ruined? Their budget plan is a dismantling of our social safety net for average Americans. @repauchincloss.bsky.social brought the heat to NewsNation.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

With this EO, Trump is explicitly seizing control of agencies meant to operate free from presidential interference, such as the FCC, FTC, FEC and financial regulators. Now any new regulations must go through the White House. Monumental change here. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.
