The scoop: Trump refuses to do anything to reduce health insurance premiums; House Republicans refuse to come back to Washington due to Epstein files; and now they send layoff notices to CDC researchers dealing with burgeoning measles cases?

JD Vance is LYING. These firings have NOTHING to do with the shutdown.

Donald Trump is CHOOSING to fire these scientists to threaten Democrats.

Trump is destroying what little is left of our public health infrastructure, and we will NOT be ready for the next pandemic.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision
