His heart is 14 years younger than his actual age according to the press release 😂😂😂

This is exactly right. Trump wanted to hide his gutting of CDC staff because he knows the public would be outraged by getting rid of the people who monitor the spread of diseases. It's a bit more important than Trump's idiot ballroom.

as someone who worked at the CDC, the way they’ve targeted these illegal firings are pretty much what i would do to inflict maximum damage to what remains of our nation’s federal public health infrastructure. a hostile takeover of the agency

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

The section on his heart health… absolute fabrication. It would have been more believable if they said 5 years …. Not 14!!

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.

YouTube video by Democracy Currents with Maxwell Stearns FIRST THIRD

I'm thrilled to announce my YouTube channel: Democracy Currents with Maxwell Stearns. I start with an 11-minute Ted-style talk, Saving the Future of Our Democracy, given at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Faculty Commencement. Please watch and share.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

@timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

The Trump admin has begun ANOTHER mass firing of federal workers.

People are losing their jobs over Republicans' unwillingness to end this government shutdown.

Livelihoods are on the line.

This is a disgusting abuse of power.

You could tell as they spent a big chunk of time on Jay Jones and spent no time on Reid and his Nazi and slavery pornography fetishes (among other things)

The WHO overturned dogma on how airborne diseases spread. Will the CDC act on it? A new report comes as the CDC is updating its guidance for infection control. A committee advising the agency seems poised to brush the latest science aside.

“You think viruses stop after 3 feet and drop to the ground?” Tang said of the classical notion of distance. “That is absurd.” [April 2024]

I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Bruce

My opponent’s hateful attacks target me because of my faith.

For three decades, I taught American literature and the texts that define the values of our nation: justice, equality, and freedom. It’s too bad John Reid never learned about Jefferson’s Statute for Religious Freedom.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

After the absurd pseudoscience heard again from RFKJr about autism seems a good time to reshare this article I wrote in March...

Reid is an embarrassment to the state and should be nowhere near a leadership position.

Far-right former MAGA radio host John Reid, the 2025 VA GOP Lt. Gov. nominee, rants about Ghazala Hashmi that she's supposedly a "sour, random, and strangely elitist poetry professor" who wants to "lecture the whole state like we are her students scolding us about how she will fix us." Weird.

One minute John Reid's claiming (insanely/falsely) that @senatorhashmi.bsky.social wants to establish Shari'a law in Virginia; another minute that she's a commie or whatever; next minute she's a "sour, random, and strangely elitist poetry professor." LOL, alrighty! bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sam-...

Where to find accurate vaccine information amidst the CDC’s ongoing collapse With the CDC no longer a trustworthy source, use these resources to find reliable, accurate, evidence-based information about vaccines.

We can't rely on the CDC for evidence-based information about vaccines anymore. It's sad and frustrating, but that's where we are. So here are a ton of other resources where you can go instead. healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/10...

FASCISM!

The local police arrested him for daring to criticize dear leader.

And this isn't a threat, not even close. He posted a quote from Trump. That's it.

Post a meme - arrested for inciting violence

Ghazala Hashmi tweet: "My opponent's hateful attacks target me because of my faith...too bad John Reid never learned about Jefferson's Statute for Religious Freedom"

Exactly right by @senatorhashmi.bsky.social. Of course, if the media did its job (which it definitely doesn't), Virginia voters would widely know about John Reid's extreme, "hateful attacks"- including his "pattern of Islamophobic" ravings. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sam-...
