Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

What is the right way to think about 30GW of energy???

Maybe it’s like well take a billion people (so like 1/10 people on earth), and have a 30 watt light on over their head that’s glowing all the time.

This is the near term projected energy load of these AI infrastructure projects

9/9 AltCDC remembers when “service” meant showing up.

We want to help - our admin won’t let us.

Reporters: please look into this.
👉 Ask why CDC won’t send Epi-Aid teams when lives are at stake.
👉 Ask who made the call.
👉 Ask why.

6/9 What’s happening in Maine?
A state facing a record HIV outbreak — people getting sick, dying — asked for help.
It’s still waiting.

🙄 Excuse offered: “the shutdown.”

But former CDC directors say Epi-Aids have gone out during shutdowns.
So what’s different this time — and who made that call? 🤔

Mega🧵 CDC IGNORES URGENT EPI AID REQUESTS

1/9 🚨 Maine is facing the largest HIV outbreak in its history.
It asked CDC for help.
😡 CDC is ignoring the request.

This is not getting enough attention in the news — and it should be.

After initially approving Penobscot County's request for CDC aid, the agency put it on hold. Meanwhile, the virus spreads.

John Fetterman is among the 10 Dems who made the deal with the Reps. Mike Johnson said he won't bring it up for a vote, so it's dead on arrival.

Am I supposed to believe Schumer doesn't have his own Dems under control? A whopping 10 of them?

I don't believe that. This fucking reeks.
