Who the heck was the last guy questioning Susan Monarez? What a serious jerk, twisting her words? His summary of what she said was not at all correct, his goal was clear -- protecting RFK Jr. & Trump, NOT protecting people!! INCREDIBLE that these people get elected!! #SusanMonarez #CDC

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Ironically, while I do not think that #RFKJr is qualified for the job in the LEAST, I think his agenda is in direct opposition to Trump and this admin's agenda. I actually think he is well-intentioned, although astoundingly ignorant and gullible.
