Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Even with some staff having their firing rescinded, CDC has been deeply damaged by the cuts from 🧠🪱 that remain intact. We do not have a complete list as this was done in secrecy. 🧵

Vance: I’m sure that in the course of his life he has been paid more than $50,000 for services. The question is did he do something illegal.

Stephanopoulos: I’m asking if Homan accepted the $50,000

Vance: Is it illegal to take a payment for doing services? Low income women can’t get food

During the last "No Kings" protest, MAGA didn't have much to say. But they're so worried about this coming Saturday's events that they've labeled peaceful protesters as paid terrorists.
Show up because you love this country. And, no, George Soros won't cut you a check, despite what MAGA liars say.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

(1,2) I have often stated my belief that the Current Occupant of the White House lies about everything. Last night he posted this. He is either knowingly lying, senile, or both. HE WAS THE PRESIDENT ON JANUARY 6TH. Biden was still a private citizen.

Heartbroken by this news out of #SC this morning. Entire families and a community are forever changed by preventable gun violence. Let’s pray, and let’s also act.

JD Vance says the fact that Biden and Obama haven't been prosecuted (yet) is proof that Trump's DOJ isn't targeting its opponents.
Vance's soul left his body long ago. He's just a robot spewing disinformation at this point.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1h

WELKER: Is the DOJ acting on orders from the president to prosecute his political opponents?

JD VANCE: No ... You know who we haven't prosecuted? Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton ... he's allowed to have opinions about law enforcement

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

1) WHY isn't this a bigger story? High food prices were cited time and again as a major 2024 campaign issue?

2) Democrats said said over and over again this was going to happen.

3) Why didn't the MSM take it more seriously, when trump LIED over and over again about bringing food prices down???

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?
