BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

And when you are done reading the article on the arena deal from the Sprawl, ask yourselves why we dont get this kind of coverage from the mainstream press.

Please listen/read this article on the Calgary arena deal and then get out and vote. We can’t afford another misstep. We couldn’t afford this one.

Calgary mayoral candidates are bickering about which arena deal was best—and who got fleeced. And an outgoing city councillor now says progressive councillors voted yes to the deal in 2023 "at great political cost." Here's how the deal got done. (Listen and/or read!) #yyccc

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Please, if you’re tired of seeing billionaires get even richer off the backs of working Calgarians/Albertans, get out & vote. Murray Edwards could have paid out of pocket for the Arena without breaking a sweat. But Danielle Smith, Sonya Sharp & their team, thought “Nah, the taxpayers got this one.”

Wow, there it is.

COUNCILLOR MIAN: “there were many of us around the table who struggled with the arena decision, right? We were like: This is a huge decision. It's a lot of money. And it was largely led by the Communities First folks.”

Four wards in Calgary haven't had election debates (Wards 2, 3, 12 and 13). The Sprawl has waited for others to organize debates in these wards. It hasn't happened. We're done waiting and are making a last-ditch effort to organize and livestream debates in these wards before Election Day. #yyccc

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Connecting SignalGate to Project2025: “They're doing official communications on Signal to avoid those communications being retained. There are Project 2025 training videos that specifically recommended this type of thing as a way to avoid subpoenas… There will be no evidence…”

@tizzyent.bsky.social

Connecting SignalGate to Project 2025: Key under-discussed point about
why Hegseth Gabbard Rubio etc were on Signal:

“The part that people are missing is that they're doing official communications on Signal to avoid those communications being retained. There are Project 2025 training videos that specifically recommended this type of thing as a way to avoid subpoenas. Our government is using 3rd party software to discuss OPSEC, NOFORN, and Top Secret levels of communication in avenues that do not retain data. They can stage a total takeover of the US and there will be no evidence through any official channels.” jeanie.online

tizzyent: “This! This is the part that should have every news organization and every politician who actually wants to put country over Trump shouting from the rooftops.”
