Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

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.

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office. And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

My Governor Ron DeSantis has called for a special session to address the issue of “illegal immigration”. He wants a law that requires all state law enforcement to assist in Trump’s efforts to round up and deport undocumented human beings. Do not remain silent. ✊🏾🇺🇸🇺🇦 www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2N3uyd3/

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
