Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Is the Supreme Court obstructing justice?

See? Trump's plan based on HItler's playbook is working. He'll cause conflicts that look lke a mini civil war, so he can seize total control of nationwide "law enforcement."

BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed my bill (SB 41) to end abuses by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — behemoth corporate drug middlemen that increase the cost of Rx drugs & destroy local pharmacies to favor their own mail order pharmacies.

Huge win to lower drug costs & benefit consumers.

Today, we have 15 Democratic trifecta states and we control even more mayorships and city councils.

Remember the guidelines, guardrails, and separation of powers that protected democracy?
Page two of Hitler's playbook was establishing the Sondergericht ("special court") of Nazi Germany, outside the frame of the German constitution, to prosecute his opponents. It executed 5,000 people.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
