Tonight one of the CDC’s top public health leaders, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, has resigned from his post.

Below is his full resignation letter.

You should read every word.

This is a truly scary moment for public health in America.

Epstein's sweetheart deal? Cut by a Republican administration.

The guy who cut it? Trump put him in his first Cabinet.

Epstein's mysterious death? During Trump's first term.

Trump promised to release the files. Now he's not.

This is a Republican scandal. What is Trump hiding?

Here's one statistic for you:

→ Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million.
→ Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million.

That is not a typo.
Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

ICYMI, new piece/thread from me:
Barack Obama just delivered a blistering takedown of Trump's lawlessness. Importantly, Obama also offered Dems a way to argue that Trump's dictatorial abuses of power and his imminent wreckage of the economy are the same story.

New piece from me:
newrepublic.com/article/1936...
Obama’s Blistering New Takedown of Trump Gives Dems a Way Forward
In an appearance on Thursday, the former president laid out the connection between Trump’s lawlessness and—yes—the price of eggs. Will other Democrats follow?

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

I think it’s fair to assert that no Congress before the Trump era would have failed to investigate such cartoonish corruption.

This has distinct echoes of media coverage of Bush in 2002-2003, when lots of journos conspired to pretend that the stuff Bush was saying was based in real things, even though any 5 year old could see that there wasn't a shred of legitimacy to any of it
Pretty amazing to read news accounts implying that Trump's claim that he wants to "determine" if Zelensky is serious about peace before resuming aid to Ukraine is an actual intention on his part.

Something odd here.

CBS News confirms other media reports: "Hegseth has issued a directive to U.S. Cyber Command to pause planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions."

The CBS News then notes that National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said he's unaware of the directive.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has paused cyber offensive against Russia
The change comes amid President Trump's efforts to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct.

Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

It's a coup.
The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*
