I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It's just gobsmacking that the Press and our country, and the GOP Congress, let a madman destroy our country right before our very eyes.

This project was a legally congressionally appropriated and funded project. Trump has no authority to cancel the project, yet the GOP Congress lets him do it.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

Because nothing says "hate America" quite like Americans exercising their very American freedoms of assembly and free speech guaranteed by America's constitution, to affirm America's very American rejection of kings, the way America's founding fathers rejected a king.

Gee why dont they want accountability? Why do they no longer keep required visitor logs? Can maga figure out why they don’t want any records?

soundgood2 @soundgood2.bsky.social · 10h

Trump DMs with Pam Bondi and others via Truth Social in order to circumvent the Presidential Records Act which
states that any records created or received by the POTUSt as part of his constitutional, statutory, or ceremonial duties property of the US govt and will be managed by NARA.
