BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

โ€œ.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..โ€

These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of whatโ€™s at stake.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court.

This is not deportation.

This is ethnic cleansing.

Israeli troll farms are out in force attempting to justify Trumpโ€™s illegal actions in Iran. This is a foreign entity in control of the US armed forces. Unsurprisingly not the only one.

Trump's Iran strikes meet bipartisan blowback in Congress over war powers Lawmakers in both parties argued that Trump lacked the authority to strike without congressional authorization.

Reports areTrump informed some Republicans in advance of the strikes- no Democrats. No effort was made for Congressional notification or approval while Trump made it clear tonight he is more than ready to do it again. #congressionalapproval #iran #trump

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Back in 2003, Bush lied to the American people about WMDs to justify attacking Iraq.

Trump also clearly misled the country and didnโ€™t even inform Congress about his intention to bomb Iran. He didnโ€™t even listen to his own intelligence agencies.

Every American is less safe today.

Trumpโ€™s demonization of California sounds like what Putin said to justify his attack of Ukraine.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didnโ€™t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?

How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ?

20 minutes at the most
