Trump is not happy...
Trump Truth Social post: The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap. The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price. There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!

🧵: New details on CDC shooting suspect Joseph White:
Cobb County police were dispatched to the Whites' home three times over the last year to address Kenneth White's concerns for his son's mental health, according to incident reports I obtained.

Police have not yet explicitly said whether the Emory shooter was targeting the CDC, although Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens alluded to the suspect's concerning online behavior.

Here are photos taken by a CDC employee from inside the office.

National nonprofit leaders, understandably, are pissed...
In response National Alliance to End Homelessness CEO Ann Oliva made the following remarks: “The federal government must listen to the experts: institutionalizing people with mental illness, including those experiencing homelessness, is not a dignified, safe, or evidence-based way to serve people’s needs across the country. Homelessness is a national problem that is addressed at the local level. This order will strip states and local communities – both red and blue – of the resources that they desperately need to serve people experiencing homelessness.” "Everyone deserves a safe place to live," stated Donald Whitehead, Jr., NCH Executive Director. "These executive orders ignore decades of evidence-based housing and support services in practice. They represent a punitive approach that has consistently failed to resolve homelessness and instead exacerbates the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals."
