BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.

The SS United States, built in 1951, set the average speed record in 1952 - which remains unbeaten today.
She was retired in 1969 due to advances in air travel.
She is due to be sunk off the coast of Florida to create an artifical reef in 2026.
Metaphors abound. 🇺🇲

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Summer Lim, 11, loved drawing, reading books, the outdoors, athletic, & most of all loved spending time with her family & friends. She was adventurous & brave--in any activity the first in line to swim, jump, rock climb, zip line, & fly. She leaves behind her parents & 2 younger siblings.

🧵 Thread: "We don't need the votes!" MANY times Trump said he did not need votes in 2024 to win the election. And 'vote counters' are what mattered (with lowest polls in history)

Trump’s presidency has been defined by a steady deterioration of public information sources, and the dismantling of public health institutions.

🇪🇪🇷🇺Tensions are escalating even further on the Estonia–Russia border.

🔹️The so-called “little green men” have already appeared — they are clearly not border guards, have no identifiable markings or insignia, and most importantly, they are armed.
