Low Cost to Free Healthcare, Renewable Energy, and Low Cost- Free Education. If we have money for war we have money for services. I want my taxes to fund public programs not wars.

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

BREAKING: Sen. Ron Wyden sounds the alarm that Trump approves of the House budget resolution -- the only way they can meet their $880 billion in cuts is by cutting hundreds of billions from Medicaid, a disaster for millions. Make sure everyone sees this.

3rd day in a row on the golf course while Musk runs the country. He didn’t even know yesterday that the head of the Social Security Admin resigned, and didn’t know SpaceX employees were working at the FAA/DOD, and claimed Medicaid wasn’t being cut when it’s being cut massively.

The Trump-House Republican budget includes hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, Head Start, and food assistance. Meanwhile, the rich get tax cuts. Trump isn’t lowering costs for working people – he’s raising them.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

We must come together and do what we must in these times of crisis. But even while looking in the face of evil we must maintain our morality and civility. Protest every week speak out speak loud. Mobilize and organize. Today was just the beginning.

Republicans have no problems with an immigrant spewing his opinions and influence on every major election in the US (state and federal) and abroad. Yet have a problem with immigrants walking thousands of miles, sacrifice everything for a better future, and yet the one you cherish is the billionaire.

Just so ya know, the CFPB they’re yapping about is the part of gov that puts big money in its place and stops it from ripping you off. It’s got $20b back to taxpayers. So is it a coincidence that the world’s richest man and his Republican puppets want this gone? No, not at all.

Reality TV actor Sean Duffy’s last 3 tweets as Secretary of Transportation are: -fighting with Hillary Clinton -more fighting with Hillary Clinton -lamenting the third(!) airline crash that's occurred since he was sworn in

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse accuses Kash Patel of lying to the Judiciary Committee ahead of his FBI director confirmation vote: "He wouldn't tell this committee what he said. He pretended there was a seal order. There is no record or any evidence of any seal order."

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned. Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. 

Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. 

"I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. 

To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together."
 
While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. 

I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.
