FAFO! I can't love this more!

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

I don't doubt the information is true, but the meme needs more accurate information to be taken seriously/reposted. Maternal grandparents would not have the last name "Musk". Not sure if this was reposted or your work - can it be checked?

I do not recall a 24 hour or one week news cycle with more disturbing news about the state of the presidency and the US government in it than those of today and the past seven days. January 6 was nothing compared to this. But make no mistake, this too is the gov't being torn apart by a mob of thugs.

CDC Data Are Disappearing The agency has already removed scientific data from public view. More could follow.

This is crucial reporting from @katherinejwu.com.

Among the data being scrubbed is “the agency’s AtlasPlus tool, which contains nearly 20 years of CDC surveillance data on HIV, hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis…”

Federal Judge Orders White House to Keep Money Flowing to 22 States A court in Rhode Island issued a temporary restraining order to block Trump’s directive to defund programs he considers to be “woke.”

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

This would be a good time for all the Republican Senators, Representatives, Governors, State AGs, and Judges I've heard say how pro-law enforcement they are during the course of my career to speak up.

I hope all states sign similar orders.

Quite the metaphor…

Many legal challenges coming up. Doesn't seem what felon Trump is doing is legal.
