I knew Trump was corrupt AF, but I never in my wildest dreams thought there would ever be something named the Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani Air Base on American soil.

Military families are having to go to food banks to get food for their kids during the Trump shut down and Trump is selling gold watches on his social media site and selling American soil to the Qatari Air Force.

Democrats are trying to save your health insurance.

Dear MAGA: None of us want Qatari pilot’s carrying JDAMs over our soil. But this has to end with you.

YOU have to call your representatives and relentlessly tell them you’ll replace them if they don’t impeach Trump. He’s out of his mind. He’s grifting. YOU have to act!

RIFed:
Office of Science (OS) - MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report)

MMWR is crucial to quickly disseminate info about infectious disease.

June 5, 1981—The First Report of AIDS in the U.S.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration

Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.
