Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.

Absolutely chilling interview by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social in the New Yorker.
Their strategy is to break the institutions that serve as pillars of our democracy — media, judiciary, lawyers, Dems’ ability to raise money & mobilize volunteers — to ensure we can’t win elections.
We must stop them.

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect.
Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Yeah, it's not up to them to declare the investigations into their colossal fuckup and the wider lapses in national security are all over.
Don't let this fade away.

Remember last week, when the White House said an internal review was underway on the Signal chat scandal?
Forget it: Seven days later, the White House announced that "the case has been closed." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

That was quick: White House declares ‘case closed’ on Signal chat scandal after 7 days
There are plenty of lingering questions about the "Signalgate" fiasco. Donald Trump and his team are apparently no longer interested in getting answers.

Today, 23 states and DC sued the Trump administration to block $12 billion in cuts to public health funding.
The funds were allocated to state and local health departments during COVID.
States are aruging that the cuts will put people at greater risk for future pandemics.

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
