Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Russ Vought wasn't lying when he said he wanted to inflict "trauma" on our public servants.

This is what he is doing...with RFK Jr.'s permission at HHS. Last night, they destroyed our nation's ability to track and report emerging diseases/potential pandemics, among other things.

This cannot stand.

@michaelwolffnyc describing photographs he saw @ Epstein's property during interviews. Wolff has reported that Epstein would bring them out & show them off in a boastful way.

FLARE is never going to stop talking about this. They all need to be held accountable, regardless of party.
