After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work. "Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP. So much government efficiency going on. What a joke.

Why is everything so dumb

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Gee, who would’ve thought this happen? Smh…

JUDGE ALSUP: “.. The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency.” @nbcnews.com #OPM

Here is California. This is great!

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

Literally have been telling this dude this for a very long time. Keep up, Chuck. Also: WTF are you going to do about it?

Finally this is getting national attention:

Just thinking about how once the Kremlin’s oligarchs pillaged their nation’s resources - dividing it all up for themselves (“privatizing”), they stole everyone’s pensions. The evidence of this is what Magnitsky found, btw, and why he was murdered. This spurred us - when we were a democracy… /1

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Dear World, We’re sorry. Sincerely, Sane, Decent Americans

Because the script was written by a Norman (William himself perhaps? 🤷‍♀️) who does not see the need to include anyone born before the conquest. Makes perfect sense to me!
