😬The interval betw/ the onset of symptoms – which include fever, vomiting & internal bleeding – & death has been 48 hrs in most cases.

These β€œhemorrhagic fever” symptoms are commonly linked to known deadly viruses, such as Ebola, dengue, Marburg & yellow fever, but researchers have ruled these out.

Imagine a world where people running from a brutal dictator show up at immigration asking for asylum to avoid life in prison or death for opposing a political view, and a guy walks past the line carrying a briefcase, hands it to an immigration officer and immediately receives a permanent visa. Sick.

NOAA Employees Told to Pause Work With β€˜Foreign Nationals’ An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause β€œALL INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS.”

When NWS forecasters can't communicate with Canadian forecasters, things like plane accidents happen.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Dozens of CFPB Workers Fired in After-Hours Blitz Some affected employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau were notified with an email that addressed them as [EmployeeFirstName][EmployeeLastName], [Job Title], [Division].

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people.

That means you’ve got more time to tell your senators to vote NO on this Putin apologist with no real intelligence experience who was denied sensitive information in Congress because colleagues feared she’d leak to a war criminal.

FEMA official ignores judge's latest order, demands freeze on grant funding Federal workers are being swept into the fight between Donald Trump and federal courts, with four FEMA aides fired Tuesday for being "deep state activists."

This is how a democracy collapses: "A senior official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration β€” for the second time β€” to stop such pauses."

On the night that Putin invaded Ukraine, what was Tulsi Gabbard doing?

Spending her energy blaming NATO and the U.S. for what Putin did.

Tulsi Gabbard is not qualified to lead America’s Intelligence Community.

Vet found hanging draped in trans flag The suicide letter they won't publish

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

With this regime obliterating protections for consumers and opening the door for all kinds of financial fraud, it is a good time to freeze your credit. You can do it for free with all 3 agencies over the phone in minutes:

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.
