CDC staffers don't deserve any of this.
And... it is the American public who will pay the price. Public health depends on expertise and experts, but it protects the public!

Irony, much?

A Texas burger chain, which shot to fame after naming itself after Donald Trump and offering a supersized helping of MAGA politics, has closed after ICE arrested its Lebanese owner.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Shee-it

Prof. Mark Bray of Rutgers University and his family were blocked from leaving the U.S. At the airport, after getting boarding passes, they learned their tickets had been mysteriously cancelled.

He was relocating the family fleeing death threats catalyzed by Turning Point USA and others.

USCIS Q3 data dropped today and woof, it's not pretty. Total pending cases at a new record high of 11.5m, net backlog increased from 4.9m to 5.4m cases, and "frontlog" bizarrely increased to 60K cases.

A lot of red flags in this data.

These reports provide data on various aspects of USCIS operations. In addition, certain tables list the USCIS office responsible for the adjudication.

Speaker Johnson can swear you in today, unrelated to ending the shutdown. He chooses not to.
The two statements are not related, unlike what your post implies.

Make congressional appropriation law again, not 'opinions' Russel Vought can/will ignore. Add jail time for derailing an appropriation bill without a vote in Congress.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...
There is no budget "deal" to be made
President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.
