Just weeks after being confirmed by the Senate, CDC Director Susan Monarez is out! It’s widely suspected that HHS Secretary RFK Jr. ousted her after she tried to push back on him over changes in policy for the COVID vaccine. Several other top HHS officials — including the Director of the CDC vaccine unit — have also turned in their resignation. Take a look: BREAKING: CDC Director Susan Monarez has been OUSTED by RFK Jr. after she attempted to push for the COVID vaccine, per multiple reports Multiple other top CDC officials are out as well, as they too complained about rescinding approvals for the vaccine Good riddance! pic.twitter.com/xOJ3ws06Cz — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 27, 2025 BREAKING: On top of CDC Director Susan Monarez being fired, the FOLLOWING PEOPLE have reportedly resigned– Director of the CDC vaccine unit– CDC Chief Medical Officer– Head of CDC Zoonotic division A PURGE just happened.

We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people. @SecKennedyhas full confidence in his team at @CDCgov who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad. RFK Jr. reportedly gave Monarez the option to either resign or be fired multiple times. She refused to gracefully resign, and so, she was ousted from the role today. Politico has more: The Department of Health and Human Services announced on X Wednesday that Susan Monarez, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is “no longer director” after just one month in the role. However, an HHS official granted anonymity to discuss the situation, says Monarez was repeatedly asked to resign but refused. Monarez had received a call Wednesday afternoon from a White House official who advised her to resign by the end of the day or be fired by President Donald Trump, the official said, but she remains in the position. An HHS spokesperson directed POLITICO to the X post from the agency, which also said: We thank her for her dedicated service to the American people.” Three top CDC leaders resigned minutes after Monarez’s news broke, including Chief Medical Officer Debra Houry, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Demetre Daskalakis and National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Director Daniel Jernigan, said four people familiar with the departures granted anonymity to discuss the developments. Monarez was called into a meeting in Washington with Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and HHS Principal Deputy Chief of Staff Stefanie Spear on Monday, when the two pressured her to resign, the HHS official said. Monarez declined. She was also directed to fire several senior CDC staff by the end of the week, the official said. It was unclear Wednesday why HHS was seeking the ouster of Monarez and her staff. Monarez was confirmed as CDC director roughly a month ago by the Senate. She won support from several public health experts who have denounced Kennedy and said they hoped she would serve as a bulwark against his plans to upend the agency. While the HHS did not provide an explicit reason as to why Monarez was fired, this news comes on the same day RFK Jr. revoked the Emergency Use Authorization for the COVID vaccine. Per Axios: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a series of moves Wednesday that will limit who is eligible for COVID vaccines even though the stratus variant is surging. Why it matters: Patients who now want to get the COVID vaccines will first have to consult with their doctor rather than booking directly with a pharmacy, adding another step to the process. What he’s saying: “The emergency use authorizations for Covid vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded,” Kennedy wrote on X. The FDA and White House did not immediately respond to Axios’ requests for comment. State of play: The FDA approved an updated Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine for adults 65 and older. Younger people, between 5 and 64, are eligible if they have at least one underlying health condition putting them at high risk for severe outcomes from the virus. “FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+),” Kennedy said. Pfizer said in a statement that this season’s COVID-19 vaccine will begin shipping immediately and be available in pharmacies, hospitals and clinics across the U.S. in the coming days. That leads many to suspect that Monarez was fired for objecting to this move. JUST IN – FAFO: CDC leadership pushed back on RFK Jr. changing vaccine policies Today, he revoked the Emergency Use Authorization for the COVID vax Also today, the CDC Director WAS FIRED, and the CDC vaccine unit director RESIGNED Get out of RFK Jr’s way. He’s on a mission. pic.twitter.com/Myx3i4KWJk — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 27, 2025 Monarez has a history of being pro-vaccine, among other concerning things. So, in the long run, this is excellent news for the MAHA agenda. Everyone who is not on board with President Trump and RFK Jr.’s mission to Make America Healthy Again — including pulling dangerous, experimental vaccines — can get out! Now, President Trump is free to nominate someone who is aligned with that mission to head the CDC. Some folks are urging President Trump to bring back his original nominee for the role of CDC Director: PLEASE tell me this story is true. The Washington Post reported that the CDC director is being OUSTED.

This is truly disgusting. The mayor of Minneapolis called out Christians who were offering prayers for the victims of the Annunciation Catholic Church, which left 17 injured and two dead. During a press conference held shortly after the shooting took place, Democratic mayor Jacob Frey stated that thoughts and prayers are not a sufficient response to the shooting. People reported more details on the mayor’s remarks: The mayor of Minneapolis, where a gunman opened fire at a Catholic church on Wednesday, killing at least two children and injuring 17 other people during morning Mass, said “thoughts and prayers” were not a sufficient response to the mass shooting. “These were American families, and the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary,” Frey said at a news conference near Annunciation Catholic Church in South Minneapolis, where the shooting occurred. “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.” The deceased children were aged 8 and 10. Of the 17 people injured, 14 are children, two of whom are in critical condition, officials said. Hennepin Healthcare is treating two adults and nine children between the ages of 6 and 14, said emergency medicine chair Dr. Thomas Wyatt. The church has a school for children from prekindergarten through eighth grade. Frey noted that the school year had just begun this week. The students were celebrating their first Mass of the new school year at the church on Wednesday morning when the gunman fired a rifle through its windows at the children sitting in the church pews, striking children and worshippers, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. Dozens of children attended the Mass, O’Hara said. The gunman, believed to be in his early 20s, also fired a shotgun and a pistol, O’Hara said. O’Hara did not release the name of the gunman, who ultimately took his own life, or whether he had any ties to the church. “This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping,” O’Hara said. Watch the moment he said it here: The disgusting mayor of Minneapolis mocks prayer as impotent, demanding political action instead. But he’s already mayor. His political party controls his entire state. What’s been proven impotent is precisely the godless political action he demands.pic.twitter.com/ylvrElgWl0 — Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) August 27, 2025 Frey’s remarks were dark because, as Michael Knowles suggests above, he is essentially saying prayer doesn’t work because the children were praying while the shooting occurred. The gunman offered similar language on his gun and wrote, “Where is your God now?” https://x.com/BenVerbanicTV/status/1960834426302022037 According to the New York Post, the mayor later called out conservatives who were pointing out that the shooter was reportedly transgender: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey preached about trans rights during a presser on the mass shooting that left two children dead at Annunciation Catholic School, hours after it was revealed gunman Robin Westman identified as a transgender woman. “I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” Frey told reporters at an update presser Wednesday afternoon. “Anybody who is using this … as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be operating out of a place of hate for anyone,” the mayor said. Frey stated emotionally that instead of the shooter’s gender-identity and state of mind, public focus should be put on the child victims —- and then he segued into calls for gun control. “Look, we need to be doing more than talking. It can’t just be words there needs to be action. When we have seen school shooting after school shooting. When we have seen church shootings by horrible actors,” Frey pontificated. “To recognize that we’ve got more guns in this country than we have people. And it’s on all of us to recognize that we can’t just say that this shouldn’t happen again and then allowed to happen again and again beyond that,” Frey intoned. What do you?

He needs to RESIGN IMMEDIATELY! pic.twitter.com/jRB5t1MeA7 — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) August 27, 2025

Democrats should be very concerned about their ability to win elections in the future, and that isn’t just because of their corruption or how out-of-touch they are with the American people. In what could be a nightmare for Democrats, the Electoral College is predicted to drastically shift in favor of red states after the 2030 census. Eric Daughtery broke it down: BREAKING: In a devastating development for Democrats’ political future, the US Electoral College is about to swing +14 VOTES in favor of Republican states after the 2030 Census. That means a swing of 14 seats in the US House of Representatives toward Republicans as well. And… pic.twitter.com/5XFdkCruoX — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 25, 2025 BREAKING: In a devastating development for Democrats’ political future, the US Electoral College is about to swing +14 VOTES in favor of Republican states after the 2030 Census. That means a swing of 14 seats in the US House of Representatives toward Republicans as well. And that means the Republican presidential nominee’s pathway to 270 Electoral College votes DRASTICALLY expands, per NYT. In a scenario like this, the Republican could win the Sun Belt states, none of the Rust Belt swing states, and win the presidency – NOT the case in 2024. Other combinations open up as well. Doom. What this means is that the path to victory for Democrats is about to become a whole lot narrower. Strategies that would have worked in 2024 and 2028, like picking up several key swing states, would no longer secure a win. The 2030 census brings bad news for Democrats. Reapportionment could flip 9 House seats and the road to the White House gets much tougher. In 2028 a Democrat can get elected President by winning MI, WI & PA. In 2032 the Democrat loses even if he/she wins MI, WI, PA and NV. pic.twitter.com/9ggtUa0iG4 — Wiley Nickel (@WileyNickel) August 26, 2025 In fact, Democrats’ potential ways to secure the majority of electoral college votes would shrink from 25 paths to just five. Maybe the direness of this all hasn’t sunk in with the Democrat party as a whole yet, but the New York Times is already full panic mode. In a new report, the NYT is warning Democrats that they will not be able to win elections in the future without majorly changing their strategy. To ever win an election again after the next census, Democrats will need to win over voters in states they traditionally ignore. Read an excerpt from that New York Times report here: The year is 2032. Studying the Electoral College map, a Democratic presidential candidate can no longer plan to sweep New Hampshire, Minnesota and the “blue wall” battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and win the White House. A victory in the swing state of Nevada would not help, either. That is the nightmare scenario many Democratic Party insiders see playing out if current U.S. population projections hold. After every decennial census, like the one coming up in 2030, congressional seats are reallocated among the states based on population shifts. Those seats in turn affect how big a prize each state is within the Electoral College — or how a candidate actually wins the presidency. In the next decade, the Electoral College will tilt significantly away from Democrats. Deeply conservative Texas and Florida could gain a total of five congressional seats, and the red states of Utah and Idaho are each expected to add a seat. Those gains will come at the expense of major Democratic states like New York and California, according to a New York Times analysis of population projections by Esri, a nonpartisan company whose mapping software and demographic data are widely used by businesses and governments across the world. Across all of the possible scenarios in the nine states that would be considered battlegrounds in the 2032 election, Democrats would see about a third of their current winning Electoral College combinations disappear if population projections hold. However, when looking only at the most feasible winning combinations based on voting behaviors in the 2024 election, the outlook is far worse. Of Democrats’ 25 most plausible paths to victory in 2024, only five would remain. Some groups have arrived at an even more challenging outlook for Democrats in 2032. For example, the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan organization, projected Republicans to have three more safe seats from Texas and Florida, and New York to lose one more seat than The Times’s projection. The Democratic Party already faces acute challenges after its disastrous losses in 2024, including fundraising woes, an electorate that slid decidedly to the right, a vacuum of leadership and a sharp decline in voter registrations. The party is also battling President Trump’s push for red states to redraw their congressional maps in the middle of the decade in order to secure Republicans an advantage in next year’s midterm elections. While this does not directly affect a future Electoral College, it adds urgency for Democrats to expand into new areas. The dire post-census projections put the party in a bind between two necessary tasks: investing to win in the short term, including in the midterms, and building a future in states that have not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in decades. Still, the looming Electoral College shift presents such an existential threat to the party that many Democrats, including the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, are adamant that planning for the next decade must begin now. “There’s no doubt about it, and it’s a lot of what I talked about when I ran for chair,” Ken Martin, the D.N.C. leader, said in an interview. He added, “We have to acknowledge that there’s some of these states that are red that are going to need more resources to essentially help us win down the road.” Of course, there’s one solution to all this that the New York Times  overlooks. The Democrat party could back up and begin focusing on actually serving the American people. Get rid of the woke, radical ideas. Stop prioritizing illegal criminal immigrants over hardworking, honest U.S. citizens. Drop the support of mentally-deranged men in skirts. Start focusing on making our nation a great place to live, work, and raise a family. If Democrats actually did some of those things, then they’d be bound to pick up some key votes. In fact, they’d probably get a lot of support. But, of course, that would mean Democrats would have to admit they were wrong and start agreeing with President Trump on a lot of things. Something tells me the chances of that happening are even lower than the odds of Gavin Newsom retiring his hair gel. Whar is your thought?

Things got heated during the Mexican Senate’s recent public session. A recent video that has gone viral on X shows two Mexican Senate leaders pushing each other, eventually leading to punches being thrown. Watch the throwdown here: Mexico’s senate erupted into violence with punches, pushing and shouting after an opposition party leader grabbed the chamber’s president as the session was wrapping up https://t.co/9MLUQjnfwP pic.twitter.com/FMEIZbwR7a — Reuters (@Reuters) August 28, 2025 BNO provided background details of the fight: A brawl erupted in Mexico’s Senate when the chamber’s president and the leader of the opposition exchanged shoves and a punch during a public session. The fight broke out Wednesday between Senate President Gerardo Fernández Noroña of the ruling Morena party and Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, leader of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Video of the incident shows senators singing Mexico’s national anthem at the presiding area. As the anthem ended, Moreno, widely known as “Alito,” tried to get Noroña’s attention. When a woman attempted to lead Noroña away, Moreno grabbed his arm, leading Noroña to push back. Moreno then shoved him several times and threw a punch. A staffer who tried to intervene was pushed by Moreno and fell to the ground, and as Noroña moved to leave the chamber, another legislator grabbed him by the collar and attempted to hit him. The confrontation ended with Noroña walking out after more shoving and heated words. According to Milenio, the clash began after PRI members repeatedly requested the floor during the session but were denied by Noroña in his role as presiding officer. As the anthem concluded, Moreno approached the podium and began arguing with him, leading to the physical altercation. Moreno, 50, has led the PRI since 2019. The PRI dominated Mexican politics for most of the 20th century but has been reduced to a weakened opposition in recent years. Under Moreno’s leadership, the party has continued to lose influence and now holds only a small share of seats in Congress. Noroña, 65, is a leftist politician and member of Morena, the populist movement founded by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He became Senate president earlier this year after Morena and its allies expanded their congressional majority in the 2024 elections and Claudia Sheinbaum won the presidency.

This is a common theme that happens way too often. A Chinese doctor was caught at an airport attempting to steal confidential cancer research, allegedly. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agents inspected the Chinese doctor who worked at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. After a search, they discovered the doctor had sensitive cancer research. Fox News reported more on Li’s alleged crime and why the damage is already done: A Chinese doctor was busted in Texas for allegedly trying to smuggle cancer-related research back to China. Yunhai Li – a 35-year-old employed by the MD Anderson Cancer Center since 2022 – was confronted at an airport by officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection on July 9, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. The office said the authorities working in coordination with Homeland Security Investigations “found evidence Li was attempting to take sensitive medical information abroad during an inspection of his belongings.” “We were able to detain him as he was trying to get on a flight to China,” Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare told Fox26 Houston. “That intellectual property stays with us, so we can save lives.” Li was charged with theft of trade secrets and tampering with a government record. The theft charge carries a penalty of two to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. The Attorney’s Office said Li was staying in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant research scholar exchange visa provided by the State Department. The research he was working on was funded through the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense, it added. Court documents viewed by Fox26Houston said Li uploaded sensitive data to his personal Google Drive account while working for MD Anderson, and when the institution found out about it and confronted him, he deleted the files. However, the documents added that Li also uploaded the data to a file-hosting service based on a Chinese server.   NEW – Chinese University of Texas research student, Yunhai Li, charged for espionage, theft of trade secrets. pic.twitter.com/hGnOXlEmkh — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) August 26, 2025 A Chinese national and former research student at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Yunhai Li [Center], faces charges of espionage and theft of trade secrets.

In July, the Associated Press reported another Chinese National was arrested for stealing research: A Chinese national has been arrested on suspicion of hacking into several U.S. universities’ computer systems to steal COVID-19-related research, authorities announced on Tuesday. Xu Zewei is charged in a nine-count indictment in the Southern District of Texas for his alleged involvement in computer intrusions between February 2020 and June 2021. Another Chinese national, Zhang Yu, was also charged in the indictment. Xu was arrested on Thursday in Italy and is awaiting extradition to the U.S. Authorities said Zhang remains at large. Xu and others are accused of targeting and hacking several U.S.-based universities, immunologists, and virologists conducting research into COVID‑19 vaccines, treatment and testing, according to court documents. “The hacking of these American universities is not just a violation of intellectual property rights. It’s an attack on American scientific innovation,” Nicholas J. Ganjei, the Houston-based U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, said at a news conference.
