Thousands of federal health workers woke up on April 1 to find they had been fired or laid off. Scientists and civil servants at the FDA, CDC, and NIH were let go as part of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s pledge to cut jobs at the country’s most important disease-fighting agencies.
The Department Of Health And Human Services Cuts 10,000 Jobs
The cuts hit multiple agencies, affecting work on HIV, gun violence prevention, vaccines, minority health research, and more.

Either Iran or Greenland are going to be hit by the Trump regime in the next months but which is first?

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

President Donald Trump has suggested that “methods” exist by which he could attempt to serve a third term in the White House, an act that is barred by the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Here’s what to know.
Can Trump run for a third term? The 22nd Amendment flatly prevents it.
Trump suggested he has “methods” for seeking a third presidential term. Constitutional law scholars are skeptical.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday seeking to dismantle seven additional federal agencies, including the one that oversees Voice of America and other government-funded media outlets around the world.
Trump Orders Gutting of 7 Agencies, Including Voice of America’s Parent
The order targeting the agencies, largely obscure entities that address issues like labor mediation and homelessness prevention, appeared to test the bounds of the president’s power.
