I've never studied political science and I've never been media-trained so maybe I'm wrong but:

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Schumer & Dems need to get it thru their heads, this is wartime. It's the moment to stop the madness, not nudge a vote here & there for the focus groups. The enemy's flooding the zone, putting out their worst to see what they get away with. Act on J'Biden's creed every single day: #WillYouShutUpMan

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.
To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

I'm following several hundred people. Why is my feed the same 40 or so, over and over, with 3 or 4, whom I've never met or corresponded with, showing up multiple times every day? Is it a pure number-of-posts to feed-supply ratio thing?
