Trump’s Decapitation of CDC Takes Darker Turn—and Hands Dems a Weapon Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me.

Dem govs must step up and fill the void.

Is there a zoom or YouTube for the service?

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Correct, Harvard today the rest of the universities tomorrow

The voting patterns of people with wealth is so one sided!

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

To all my NC neighbors who voted for Trump:

Way to go—you sure owned the Libs!

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera.

AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

What hair 😂

Nothing to apologize for.

Trump sucks.

If you'd like to see and hear @hcrichardson.bsky.social deliver her blow-by-blow account of the lighting of the lamps in the Old North Church – where she gave this address – and the Ride of Paul Revere 250 years ago, someone did us the service of recording it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv5l...

We need to make Trump supporters pariahs.

They should not be welcomed anywhere decent people gather.

Weak men, indeed. Adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it.

Hard not to be a "PANICAN" when led by someone suffering from severe mental illness

Absolutely.

This!

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Amen!

Thank you, @corybooker.com, for YOUR leadership and FIGHT on behalf of the Democratic Party!

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option.

Pete Hegseth should resign.

Mike Waltz should resign.

I’ve never been more proud to have voted for Kamala Harris.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

Pete Hegseth never should have been tapped for this job. It's too important.

He should be fired immediately.

If hypocrisy were deadly, this whole Administration would have expired by now.
