The staff of the CDC - all public servants with impeccable credentials - often do unheralded work.

It’s that very work which makes us clinicians much smarter - they let us know of new threats, give us key disease trends, and help shape our diagnostic acumen.

A functioning CDC is good medicine.

John Denver, gone 28 years ago today.

“.. I was camping up in the mountains. We were in the Rockies … I remember looking straight up and seeing meteor showers and thinking, this is what it is to be alive. And that line ‘I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky’ — that actually came from that night.”

Unfortunately, that not happening. Americans across our country are asking questions and ICE agents are ignoring to answer.

At this point in time, it seems different otherwise.

Then, why are they targeting and going after American citizens?

Ryan Abbott 🇺🇲 🦅 @ryanabbottrv13.bsky.social · 1h

Does the American people have a right to know what ice agents are doing?

Yes, the public has a right to know what ICE agents are doing, largely due to the First Amendment right to film law enforcement in public, though this is balanced by local laws and potential risks.

Ryan Abbott 🇺🇲 🦅 @ryanabbottrv13.bsky.social · 1h

Does ice agents work for the American people?

Yes, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are tasked with working for the American people by protecting national security and public safety through enforcing immigration laws and investigating criminal threats.

Ryan Abbott 🇺🇲 🦅 @ryanabbottrv13.bsky.social · 1h

What is the purpose of ice agents covering their face?

ICE agents cover their faces primarily for their own safety, citing threats from doxing and increased assaults from people targeting them and their families.

I just watch adaptations of Sleepwalkers. "It's a terrifying nightmare of a thriller." The master of horror himself, Mr. @stephenking.bsky.social doesn't hold by of [his] wildly and frightening imagination, when it came to his own writing for the screen.

Republicans want to be the party of healthcare? Open up the government. Put the subsidies back in place, and stop fucking with people’s health care.

Douglas Brinkley: There is no way in hell Donald Trump is going to get a Nobel Prize for Truth Socialing bigotry, or dividing people, hate language. It wouldn't be a natural fit, but he doesn't seem to get that. He sees it's like getting his own reality TV show.

I don't know what Donald Trump is looking at. Because every single video that I see of Portland, Oregon - nothing is being "burning down."

I think we all can agree, that [he] lost his mind. I mean, [he] don't know what he's talking about anymore. It's really concerning.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Correction: It'll be Republican-oriented. Republicans control White House, Senate, and House.

It's this guy behind the podium in this video and the MAGA Republicans who are on vacation, that don't want to negotiate with Democrats. Ladies and Gentlemen that's the real reality we are in right now.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: How many layoffs have you authorized?

TRUMP: It'll be a lot. And it'll be Democrat-oriented.

(2/2) MAGA Mike Johnson made it clear. He don't care for healthcare, our military or basically anything. He rather blame Democrats (which is the party not in power).

Ryan Abbott 🇺🇲 🦅 @ryanabbottrv13.bsky.social · 2d

(1/2) Ladies and Gentlemen, please remember this when it comes to cast your vote in the upcoming midterm election.

Republicans hold the control Washington DC and control of a branches of government. White House, Senate, and House.
