I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Can someone explain to me how this is making America healthy? Because to me, it seems like this isn't about health at all—it's dismantling the very systems that protect us when it matters most.

But beyond jobs, historical knowledge, and projects stopped in their tracks, this will impact Americans' health. Viruses don't pause when government stops working. Bacteria doesn't pause. Worker safety doesn't pause. Chronic diseases don't pause.

Today, thousands of health workers at the CDC and FDA lost their jobs, effective immediately. People are literally finding out if they were fired at security when they try to badge in. It's cruel and unnecessary, which is the point.

President Trump did not rule out seeking a third term in office on Sunday, telling NBC News that he was “not joking” about the possibility and suggesting there were “methods” to circumvent the two-term limit laid out in the Constitution.
Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Seeking a Third Term in Defiance of Constitution
President Trump, in an interview with NBC News, said there were “methods” that would allow a third term. The 22nd Amendment prohibits a person from being elected to more than two terms as president.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
