Just...ugh. Wishing for a different timeline. Every one of us needs to vote, assuming that we can, despite the obstacles. It really is the last chance for the U.S.

🚨 I have just introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Donald Trump is not above the law, and when he ignores the constitution, he should be held accountable.

A Canadian woman was detained, sent to a detention center in Arizona for weeks, and deported only once the media got a hold of her story. She was repeatedly denied her rights along the way.
She entered the country in Southern California. Nobody is safe while 47 is in office.

The Golden State and Canada have always shared so much in common.
Sure, you-know-who is trying to stir things up back in DC, but don't let that ruin your vacation plans.
We’re launching a new international campaign to welcome and encourage Canadians to visit the Golden State.

So.
It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.
I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications?
Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE?
Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.
