JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.

Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.

Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists.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

NEW: Trump meant to send a Truth Social DM to Pam Bondi about indicting his rivals. That sounds like official business, so I'm filing a FOIA for her DMs, plus those of five other cabinet members. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/my-latest-...

My Latest FOIA: Trump's Truth Social DMs

Recently, Trump posted a message to Pam Bondi that was meant to be a direct message. I want to know what other official messages he's sending to cabinet members.

Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill.

What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up.

It's shameful.

Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."

All the years I've lived in Manhattan we have never had door knockers from campaigns. Takes a lot of drive to hit all the buzzers at an apartment building and come upstairs.

Polite, informed volunteers. This campaign is out in full force.

Republicans are using every tool to attack abortion access.

They want to strip funding for hospitals and training programs that teach future doctors how to provide abortion care.

It is harmful, it is dangerous, and it could prevent doctors from delivering critical healthcare.

This completely phony AF veep has some nerve talking about violating an oath. Does he not recall taking an oath to defend the Constitution? So when shall we expect JD Vance to get arrested?

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?

VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe

S: It's a yes or no question

V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

At this point, the evasive, foolish non-answers tell us all we need to know. "Five Fingers" Homan made off w/the $50K.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Did Tom Homan give the $50,000 back?

VANCE: He did not take a bribe. It's a ridiculous smear

STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't answer the question

VANCE: Did he accept $50,000? I'm sure that in the course of Homan's life, he's been paid more than $50k for services.

(So, no, he didn't)
