It's the CDC’s job to detect, respond to, and help prevent the spread of diseases like chikungunya, while keeping the public informed and prepared. It's too bad for us that the Trump regime is destroying the CDC.

What is the chikungunya virus now transmitted in the US for the first time in years?

A mosquito-borne virus more common in South America has been detected in the United States. Health officials say the chikungunya virus has been identified in a patient living in the suburbs of New Yor...

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

There will be reporting. Just not from within the building.

The network of sources hasn't gone away either.

"The near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens combined with the lack of an available legal workforce, results in significant disruptions to production costs and threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S consumers," according to a Department of Labor report.

The Trump admin wants to make the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program — which has saved people from wars and persecution for generations — into a program to bring more Europeans into the United States who "oppos[e] mass migration."

The proposed changes would put new emphasis on whether applicants would be able to assimilate into the United States, directing them to take classes on “American history and values” and “respect for cultural norms.”

The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.

A senior official said the Trump administration was monitoring the situation in Europe to determine whether anyone would be eligible for refugee status. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan had not been finalized.
