Man Fired 180 Shots, Shattering 150 Windows, In CDC Attack Bullets pierced "blast-resistant" windows, and it could take weeks or even months to repair the damage, agency officials said.

The man who attacked the CDC fired more than 180 shots into the campus

Trump asserts control of Washington DC police, will deploy National Guard in nation's capital President Trump promised a weekend crackdown on Washington, D.C.'s homeless population and criminals. Trump activated federal agents to also be a show of force across the district.

JUST IN: President Donald Trump says National Guard soldiers will be deployed on the streets of Washington, D.C., and he asserted federal control over the city's Metropolitan police department.

Russian state media says that agreeing to meet with Trump in Alaska (which they call “Russian America”) is Putin’s goodwill gesture. In reality, the US president welcoming a genocidal authoritarian is an unwarranted freebie and encourages future attacks and invasions.

Russian and Ukrainian social media are lighting up with Trump's revealing announcement: "I'm going to Russia on Friday to meet with Putin."

They know Alaska is Russian America to Moscow imperialists. The Putin regime is looking good to win another stunning victory over the USA.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.

Bullets in the windows Until now, it was only a metaphor.

“Those bullet holes are a haunting, terrible metaphor for what public health has endured over the past six months—and the past six years.” @kkjetelina.bsky.social

Monarez did not provide any additional information about the suspect's motives during the call. However, a briefing some CDC employees received Saturday from senior agency leaders said the gunman left a note, according to one employee who attended. "We were told very clearly that this was targeted, directed at CDC," the employee said. "But we were also told that this was an isolated event." There has been speculation among CDC employees that officials may have known about possible threats. When Monarez was at the CDC this week - her first week on the job - she was accompanied at all times by armed security guards, the employee said.

During Monarez's call with staff Saturday, another CDC senior leader, Daniel Jernigan, who heads the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, or NCEZID, estimated there were about 40 bullet holes in CDC buildings on campus. He did not mean it as a complete account, but rather an indication that "it will take a bit before the buildings are 'fixed' again," said an employee who listened to the call and, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share sensitive information. The shooting was "way worse than what was initially reported," the employee said, adding that gunfire continued for about 15 minutes and that "it's a miracle more people weren't hit."

Feel like this needs a spotlight: employees were told that the shooting at CDC, which left an officer dead and buildings riddled with bullets, was targeted at agency, @lenasun.bsky.social, @laurenweberhp.bsky.social and @tobiaraji.bsky.social report

Years of anti-CDC rhetoric has consequences

Russia is at war with the West.

Ukrainians show courage while others quiver from fear.

Ukrainians demonstrate wisdom while others are foolish.

Ukrainians remain strong while others falter from the foe.

It's wrong they are alone but thank goodness Ukrainians are our vanguard.

People who think Russians saying "Alaska is ours!" is crazy talk should keep in mind Trump is a Russian asset who says Canada should be the "51st state" and Greenland belongs to the USA.

We are grateful for your service, sir. This protest sign is one of my regulars in Nebraska. I will never let the violent cultists forget J6 and the LEOs that were killed & injured.

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr. CDC Director Susan Monarez convened an online all-hands meeting of the agency division that focuses on vaccines, and employees called out Kennedy’s rhetoric specifically.

Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

Thinking of Lincolnites who have holes in their roofs+major structural damage to their homes from this morning’s severe storm.

We mobilized a team; removed fallen trees fr. property & cleaned up for others.It’s good to see my community pull together.
Very saddened to hear of loss of life+injuries

Bad in multiple sites. 40/Sheridan, 84/A, 70/O, 40/Normal, 48/Pioneers. I’m helping several people clear big limbs.

Destructive, with no warning at all. One woman dead. But I’m sure it has nothing to do with cuts to NOAA & National Weather Service & trump attacks on science.
#ClimateCrisis kills.

A stunning victory for the terrorist leader Putin, who arranged to have his subordinate Trump meet him in Russian America

Russians say "Alaska is ours!" in the same breath they say "Crimea is ours!"

Putin owns Trump, and manipulated his asset to hold a meeting in Russian America.

Russians make the connection clear: if Crimea and Donbas aren't part of Ukraine then Alaska isn't part of the USA.

Never trust Putin. Never trust Trump. Any agreement with any one of those men is worthless.

Suspect and Officer Are Dead After Shooting Outside C.D.C. in Atlanta

The Emory shooter was a regular visitor to right-wing social media accounts which persuaded him that the Covid-19 vaccine was to blame for all his personal medical problems. So he took his gun to shoot up the CDC, killing a policeman in the process.

RFK Jr. defunds mRNA vaccine research. His anti-vax policies will kill people. | Opinion In his ongoing crusade to make America sicker, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has axed about $500 million in mRNA vaccine research funding.

RFK Jr. is an unqualified lunatic, but his actions are deadly serious. And they're often overlooked thanks to the daily chaos Donald Trump creates. People are going to die.

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

On Jan. 6, Jared Wise urged rioters to "kill" cops.

"You are the Nazi. You are the Gestapo," Wise yelled.

Trump dismissed Wise's Jan. 6 case, and the DOJ hired him as a senior adviser.

We got the bodycam video showing Wise on Jan. 6.
