CDC leadership has not been included in decisions that affect the agency's future. Termination emails will go directly from HHS to CDC staff. The tone from Center directors today: β€œsorry we don't know anything. Please tell us if you're RIF'd. We'll do a headcount Monday of those still standing".

It is a sickness. You do for others without an expectation of ANYTHING in return, not even a β€œthank you”. Watching that sickened me. I am so embarrassed of this country.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. - TR

Thank you, Pence.

We need to remember why we need to keep fighting, keep calling, keep emailing, keep showing up on their door steps.

Washington Post Cancels Ad From Groups Calling for Trump to Fire Musk The newspaper told Common Cause, an advocacy group, that it was pulling its special ad, which would have covered the front and back pages of some Tuesday editions.

Remember when they said, β€œDemocracy dies in darkness”? I guess it can die when you are in with the coup.

How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025 President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

I read it last year and was sick to my stomach. It is now in action - and if anyone denies this, they are lying. But, people continue to sit back and hope the egg prices lower….

And we have traveled back in time to 1933. My grandfathers fought to stop this insanity. But here we are, not even 100 years later, treating fellow human beings like they are nothing.

You cannot just decide one day to rename something that isn’t yours…oh wait, I guess that is how we arrived here in the first place. This is unfortunately America. I hope she follows through with it.

Resistance 2.0: Furious Democrats flood the zone with acts of anti-Trump resistance "We can't be like, 'Oh let's let the long arc of a congressional session happen,'" said one senior House Democrat.

Resisting isn't just for this administration's unjust actions, but also pushing leaders to fight back.
- legislation to keep DOGE from the Treasury.
-"blanket holds" on nominees until efforts to shutter USAID end.
-plans to counter defunding US systems.

Keep it up!
