Trump's supposed patriotism is performative, and it's a really bad performance! No Academy Award for this slob

The health & safety of Americans is at risk due to extremist HHS Secretary Kennedy who’s bent on wild, costly conspiracies.

He should resign immediately before he does more damage &costs lives. He’s already cost us top scientists &vital medical research.

And CDC Director Monarez should stay put!
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"
Ex-Israeli minister Ayalon: "There is no famine in Gaza."
Me: "Why does the IPC say there is a famine?"
Ayalon: "The IPC changed the criteria."
Me: "That's a lie. What criteria did they change?"
Ayalon: "They changed many criteria."

Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.

When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

"American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over — and almost specifically to spite — their vociferous objections."
Slouching into fascism
Are we already past the tipping point?

The story of the human race is a story of refusing to accept violence as ordinary and normal.

But Donald Trump celebrates and uses violence - and the threat of violence - everyday. Our nation under him is bathed in violence. We are heading backwards.

What’s happening at the CDC is chilling.

RFK Jr. is driving out dedicated public health experts because they refuse to rubber-stamp his dangerous views on vaccines.
CDC WRAPUP: A White House spokesman emailed me at 9:30 p.m. to say that Susan Monarez, the CDC director, has been fired.

This came after days of back-and-forth in which RFK Jr. tried to force her out and she refused. 4 other top CDC officials have quit.
