I don't believe in gods, prayer or karma, but I DO believe in myocardial infarctions, type 2 diabetes, involuntary explosive diarrhea, tertiary syphilis, hypertension, rectal prolapses, penile gangrene, massive aneurysms and justice.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

So they’re keeping the House in recess for another week (see his follow up)?

To delay the Epstein Files and, I guess, avoid the No Kings rally on 10/18?

They are in full blown pants pissing panic

If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

The large number of reassignments reflect a vast reshaping of the agency and could put other priorities at risk.

Ezra Levin’s message here is perfect.

Despite all their best efforts at scaring us, it’s clear the goon squad regime are the ones who are scared.

Let’s make it the biggest demonstration in American history.

Tell them no f*cking kings.

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.
