CORRECTION:
Americans and the world can ONLY blame Trump and Republicans for this government shutdown AND the last one.

1. They shut it down.
2. They own it.
3. They MUST re-open it.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

WE are paying for the least (positively) productive Congress ever—controlled by elected Republicans to:

• NOT work
• NOT legislate
• NOT honor its oath of office and the #Constitution —Article I

They HIDE the #EpsteinFiles and shield a 34-count convicted felon and unwell POTUS.

Let that sink in.

Vance is playing in America’s face. Without a CDC HR or Employee Assistance Program how will these “mistakenly” fired CDC employees be onboarded again? THEY WON’T.

The lies are to confuse, divert and distract from the truth and facts.

The cruelty is the point.

RFK,Jr. just laid off 1,000 employees of HSS. A deliberate act to further decimate the nation's CDC, which serves to investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses, and collect data.

Expect sickness & deaths.

The Trump administration is using the government shutdown to dismantle our public health infrastructure.

The people laid off from the CDC are our first line of response for disease outbreaks. This will cost lives.

More CDC Cuts 💣💥

Gone is the Employee Assistance Program. They help staff deal with many things, among them coping with the trauma of being the victim of a terrorist attack 2 months ago.

Also gone, every policy and communications role left, eliminating any communication function at CDC.

Dana Bash is speaking with Jim Jordan—an accused, unindicted, and elected #Insurrectionist who NEVER responded to a legal and lawful subpoena by the bipartisan House #Jan6 Committee.

What do you expect him to say, EXCEPT more lies?

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

1. Trump did NOT invoke the #InsurrectionAct on #Jan6 and MUST not use it now without a #bipartisan PROMISE of #Impeachment or #25thAmendment.

2. #Jan6 was an #Insurrection.

3. Trump was president on #Jan6.

4. He did not call out the National Guard or the U.S. military to stop HIS #Insurrection.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.
