Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

RFK,Jr. just laid off 1,000 employees of HSS. A deliberate act to further decimate the nation's CDC, which serves to investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses, and collect data.

Expect sickness & deaths.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

The case against Comey is beyond weak. The case against James is worse. It is based on a lie, and they know they're lying because exculpatory evidence that contradicts the indictment had already been presented to a grand jury in another jurisdiction. Everyone involved with this needs to be disbarred

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Trump is shutting the door to the U.S to Black and brown people fleeing war and famine while welcoming white Afrikaners, who are the most wealthy group in South Africa. He’s going to lower the cap on refugees from 125,000 in 2024 to just 7,500. More at www.anothertrumpdisaster.com/immigrant-fa...

RFK Jr.’s attack on mRNA vaccines will cost lives
HHS shouldn't pull the plug on vaccine breakthroughs. If RFK is successful in rolling back any vaccine’s approval, many will suffer and die. Using children as his guinea pigs is unconscionable. He must be removed.

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.
