Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

This is typical gaslighting from Linda McMahon.

Every state already controls its own curriculum and schools.
RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

We are hearing that Andy Singleton, director of a new and promising Alzheimer's research center at NIH, just announced his resignation.

This will disrupt innovative new Alzheimer's work to go beyond the "amyloid hypothesis." Bad news for anyone who's been touched by this disease. 🧪

"DOGE" is firing people, even though it has no legal authority (or existence) as a government agency and zero oversight.
A USAID HR director sent out this email today to staff letting them know he was placed on administrative leave.

“Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees.”
