Whiplash and trauma- that's what the CDC staff are currently experiencing. CDC can't protect us if they don't have the resources and the boots on the ground. My conversation with @jaketapper.bsky.social @cnn.com last night. @firedbutfighting.bsky.social

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

The past nine months have been filled with lies and broken promises from Republicans.

But here’s the truth: Republicans don’t want to fix health care. They want to continue kicking millions of Americans off health care so they can give more tax breaks to billionaires.

President Trump renewed his threat to punish Democrats during the government shutdown, promising that he would release on Friday a list of “Democrat programs” slated for permanent cuts. The comments are the latest escalation in Trump’s attempts to weaponize the shutdown.

Trump Renews Threat to Cut ‘Democrat Programs’ as Government Shutdown Enters Third Week

The president said he would release a list of the cuts on Friday. “We are closing up Democrat programs that we disagree with, and they’re never going to open again,” he added.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

The measles website at CDC continues to share updated data. 1514 cases reported in 2025. 3 deaths. CDC scientists working hard but have to manage vaccine attacks from @SecKennedy and his minions. This will be the year that ends US’s measles elimination status. Not one word at #UNGA.
