An HHS source says admin also RIFed entire Office of Population Affairs last night.
“Not a single staff person to run our nation's family planning program or the evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program. The Office of Adolescent Health which nested within OPA functionally ceases to exist”

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. publicly stated that "a lot of money" was "pouring in from Russia" to the Trump Organization, when U.S. banks were reportedly less willing to lend to the family business. Now the trumps are turning to the Middle East for funding as Russia is collapsing.
