Trump’s admin has asked a military base outside Chicago for support on immigration operations, the base said Thurs, signaling a push to expand its law enforcement crackdown to other [democratic] #cities.

The idea #Japan would give a city to #Tanzania is of course fucking stupid

But it's the same destabilizing fever swamps of #socialMedia that brought #Trump to power in the #USA, as the #farRight makes advances in Japan

#Racism, #xenophobia, #conspiracyTheory, pure insanity, amplified:

A political base

Beware Japan

Do not laugh or dismiss this crap

Fight this bullshit

Four days later, the CIA officer was at work at the spy agency’s Langley headquarters when she was abruptly ordered to report to the security office. She was informed that her clearance to look at classified material was being stripped. In a span of minutes, her 29-year career in public service was essentially over.

🇺🇸 In the days leading up to Trump’s Aug. 15 Alaska summit with Putin, one of the CIA’s senior-most #Russia experts worked grueling hours, helping #Trump and his team prepare for high-stakes diplomacy over Ukraine and making sure they were adequately briefed.

Dr. Monarez’s lawyers, Mark S. Zaid & Abbe Lowell, asserted in a statement earlier Wednesday that Dr. Monarez’s situation was symbolic of larger issues.

“It is about the systematic dismantling of #PublicHealth institutions, the silencing of experts, & the dangerous politicization of #science,” Mr. Zaid & Mr. Lowell wrote. “The attack on Dr. Monarez is a warning to every American: Our evidence-based systems are being undermined from within.”

#Trump#RFKJr #vaccines #medicine

Dr. Monarez’s firing, along with the resignations of 4 of the #CDC’s top leaders, will undoubtedly throw the nation’s #PublicHealth agency into further turmoil after a tumultuous month in which agency employees were laid off & a gunman fired a barrage of bullets at the Atlanta headquarters, killing a policeman & terrifying employees.

New #CDC Director Is Fired, #Trump White House Says

#SusanMonarez was said to have refused to adopt #Health Secretary #RFKJr.’s stance on #vaccination policy.

The White House said late Wednesday that it had fired Susan Monarez, the new director of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, after a tense confrontation in which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to remove her from her position & she refused to resign.

Le harceleur-chef vise l'UE, son #DSA & ses taxes. Le RU a déjà réduit ses taxes sur la tech US, ce qui irrite le chef du LibDem, le 3è parti britannique:

"Le PM ne doit pas céder au harceleur #Trump en réduisant la taxe UK sur les services numériques. Les magnats à la Musk se font des millions sur nos données & se moquent de la sécurité des enfants sur le Net. Réduire la taxe est la dernière chose à faire. La seule façon de répondre à Trump est de faire front avec nos alliés pour lui résister"

Bravo !

Trump announced Monday that half of the restaurants in DC had been closed due to crime, and he's gotten them open again. As Adrian Carrasquillo notes, chef José Andrés responded:

"I understand why you are confused...all your time in DC you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel."

Mass shootings are a daily occurrence now that they rarely make headlines in #America 🇺🇸.

This one, however, is being highlighted by the #Trump administration on #Instagram & other social networks.

"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about power, pure and simple. Trump is expanding his own personal power in every direction he can — over Congress, over universities, over civil society, and over American business."

Kate Riga notes that "the standoff the Supreme Court left the door open for is here" with Trump's determination to seize control of the Federal Reserve:

"The Court’s right-wing majority has been largely gleeful to cosign Trump’s rampage through the federal government, the weakening of executive branch agencies being a special hobbyhorse for Chief Justice John Roberts in particular."

25 days have now elapsed since #Trump promised 10 hostages would be released pretty soon

When you see troops on the streets of Washington DC … troops deployed for no reason … that’s what every other shithole dictatorship looks like.

It’s Trump’s dream to be the second coming of Hitler.
