CDC leadership has not been included in decisions that affect the agency's future. Termination emails will go directly from HHS to CDC staff. The tone from Center directors today: “sorry we don't know anything. Please tell us if you're RIF'd. We'll do a headcount Monday of those still standing".

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win.
This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

There are now 955 cases & 60 deaths from an unknown illness in DRC (links below). As this outbreak is growing, CDC is not permitted to exchange information with WHO and USAID outbreak response support is banned. Yesterday the Supreme court “paused” a federal judge order for USAID payments to resume.

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country.
These Americans are in real danger.

NEW: DOJ files a notice of correction indicating that (1) it underestimated the number of USAID employees placed on leave; and (2) misstated that only future contracts were being frozen, when existing contracts were frozen as well.
I suspect the judge will not be happy.

Here it is in a nutshell:
1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.
Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

I just heard that eggs have increased in price over 30% in the past week. I'm wondering what the current inflation rate is? I'm guessing not anything good.
