Especially when he says the RIFs will affect the Dems. Probably anyone who donated to ActBlue or orgs like the ACLU. I suppose they have all that info now due to Musk’s DOGE stealing our files.

Trump's personal touch — both as a heavy hand and a gentle guide — played a pivotal role at key moments in the development of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, current and former officials in the United States and other nations told NBC News.

How the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal came together

They just fired a bunch more from HHS including ones that are actively combatting an Ebola outbreak. Over a million Americans didn’t survive the first administration. This one intends to beat that record. It’s time to put the brakes on everything. Shut down capitalism until government opens.
