  3. You know why CDC has blast-proof windows? A response to the Oklahoma city bombing, in 1995. That's how long the American right wing has been mass-killing federal workers.

    The bombing followed the Gingrich Revolution of 1994, when hatred of government workers rushed into the political mainstream.

  4. Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.

  5. But a white guy with a COVID conspiracy manifesto isn’t news at this point. After all, that’s who runs the government now!

    The CDC is a part of Health & Human Services, headed by RFK Jr., whose conspiracy-addled ideology is indistinguishable from the motivations of this terrorist.

    “In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

    The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6

  6. Miraculously, he didn’t hit a single CDC employee! But he did kill David Rose, the police officer who responded, who leaves behind two children and a pregnant wife.

    I can't help but imagine the vast attention this case would have received if the race of the shooter and the victim were reversed.

    A memorial to David Rose: his photo in uniform surrounded by flowers and hand-written messages of support.

  7. A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! đŸ§”

    An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

  8. Echoing Renee here, me and my team were FOIA'ed by the MO AG office, sued by America First Legal, and then hauled in front of Jim Jordan's committee in DC, where, at the table interviewing me (for SIX HOURS) sat a lawyer who shifted from America First to Jordan's staff. This is MACHINE.

  9. Old enough to remember that a former DNC press secretary put together a project, in 2021, to name and ostracize Trump’s operatives. Folks from Jake Tapper to Democratic elected officials piled onto him so furiously in response that the plan died in the crib.

    Welp.

    If you're ruthless for the right, you get money put behind you. If you're ruthless for the left, you get money put against you.

    America First Legal got >$50 million in funding. A left version of the same would get attacked by Dem orgs and donors, and everyone associated with it blacklisted forever.
