"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Letitia James, who prosecuted Trump in N.Y., is indicted on one count of bank fraud

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

In September our health insurance went from $300 a month to $1500.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Exactly

Air-traffic controllers are calling out sick and I support them. No one should be forced to work without pay while the people responsible for the shutdown still get their checks. Shut down Congress instead. Shutdown the entire country! Remind Trump: WE keep this country running.... #GeneralStrike

😆 🤣 😂

Edit by me.

The law that requires hospitals across this country to treat ANYONE in need of care isn’t a Democratic thing. It was signed into law by President Ronnie Reagan the old conservative GOP. So when you hear MAGATs throwing out the latest talking lie hit them with this fact.

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Down State law enforcement said Monday that investigation remains ongoing, but so far “no evidence” has been found “to indicate the fire was intentionally set.”

Trump, the people in his administration are guilty of stochastic terrorism. They know their fake incendiary accusations will activate extreme right wing fringe unstable Trump loyalists.
Any of them saying they refer such accusations to the U.S. Marshall's service are silly.
