We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.

The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.

It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.

DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

The problem with Elon is we can't fire him because we never hired him.

And we can't impeach him because we never put him in office.

But the DC police can arrest him as a private citizen for trespassing next time he barges into federal offices without legit authorization.

I'm using paid carer's leave + paid FMLA to take my daughter who was in a major motor vehicle accident to her doctor's appointment but not until my husband teaches me what to do if confronted by authorities and reminds me to carry my Global Entry because I'm brown. This is America.

Seeing your adult child leave home is like the scene in the #WildRobot where Roz runs after Brightbill when he leaves for migration.
