@ChrisMurphyCT The Trump administration is literally killing Americans:
-cut cancer research
-cut healthcare
-cut the CDC
-demonizing vaccines
-killed innocent citizens via ICE
-killing women by sepsis by banning abortion.

Now Ebola is at our doorstep!
We are fucked.

Yesterday I told you the government is pulling 900 ocean monitoring instruments out of the water.

Here is the part that should make every American angry, regardless of where you stand on climate.

Congress voted to fund this network. Not once. Twice. The Trump administration proposed cutting it by 80 percent in 2025. Congress restored the money. Proposed the same cut in 2026. Congress restored the money again.

So the administration labeled it a "descope" and ordered the instruments pulled anyway.

That is not a budget disagreement. That is an executive branch telling the legislative branch that its votes do not matter. The public paid for this infrastructure. Congress protected it. One office in Washington decided the public should not have it.

This is the pattern I document in 𝑾𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒅 𝑮𝒖𝒚𝒔. It is not about left or right. It is about who decides what Americans are allowed to know about their own planet.

Who should make that call?

🚨BREAKING: A lawyer active in lawsuits seeking to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and later represented the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, is the latest attorney to be hired by DOJ’s Voting Section. https://t.co/eJlU2JZObc

Definitely. The next White House will meet an “office of undoing dumb stuff. Donald Trump did.”

[Turnbull @cturnbull1968]

DOGE cut 15K USDA jobs that included monitoring of screwworms in Mexico.

They also cut funding for a project, that released sterile flies, that helped maintain a buffer between Latin American cattle and our domestic cattle.

Make sure to thank a Republican.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

So putting a bunch of 20 something incels with no life experience in charge of making cuts to necessary government programs was a bad idea? Who could have seen that coming?

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

Trump and Elon's DOGE axed a program dedicated to preventing this.

Now, a flesh-eating parasite we eradicated is back and hard-working Americans could pay the price.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

The whole point is that he is unqualified and will make us less safe. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. The US is to bend to its rivals abroad and collapse from within. For this he is the right guy!

Screwworm has now reached Texas, breaching the barrier designed to keep it from moving north of Panama.

These larvae can devastate livestock. Human cases are less common but can be severe & disfiguring.

We recently saw a case in Toronto in a traveller returning from Costa Rica.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Agriculture Sec @BrookeLRollins in November: "We have screwworm under control south of the border. Beef prices will come down by spring 2026"

Beef prices continue to rise, and screwworm is now in the US.

Dear Scott Pelley: pull the entire 60 Minutes team together and go to MSNow and offer a package deal to recreate the show for Sunday night and call it The Hour

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

We agree.

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

Sir, we have Trump disappointment syndrome. When you said no new wars, we took it to heart, and a few of us meant it.

[Lisa Ann @oakaged22]

@elonmusk Fuck off Elon.

[SWTBS @SWTBS4now]

@propublica Some “fear” his actions are aimed at making sure midterms go his way?
Whatever it takes he will fuck with the midterm elections. He knows he cannot allow Democrats to gain the majority in the House & Senate.
He’s gonna lie, cheat and steal. Again.

[ProPublica @propublica]

Trump has destroyed federal guardrails meant to ensure secure and fair elections.

Some fear his actions are aimed at making sure the upcoming midterms go his way.
