"In early April, Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency team — which pushed federal agencies across the government to slash their workforce by thousands — flagged to the agency’s leadership that many programs on the chopping block were mandated by Congress, and that cutting them posed a 'litigation risk,' according to a memo sent to CDC and viewed by POLITICO."

Forest fire in Delamere Forest in Cheshire today, expertly managed by the firefighters. Crisis over at 19:00.
“This administration is not streamlining the federal government; they are sabotaging it & all of us,” said #NYAG #LetitiaJames, who is leading the challenge filed Monday. “When you fire the #scientists who #research #InfectiousDiseases, silence the #doctors who care for #pregnant people, & shut down the programs that help #firefighters & #miners breathe or #children thrive, you are not making America healthy—you are putting countless lives at risk.”
Massive cuts in the number of #firefighters and funding - it's not sustainable anymore!

They supported trump in 2020.
In 2024 they hugged him, welcomed his photo op with cold pizzas, & booed Letitia James. They refused to endorse Harris.
In 2025, trump stripped funding of their 911 health program. He gutted the NIOSH department. And now he's further cutting funding for firefighter health & safety.
Now they discovered REGRETS. That sponsorship of trump by #firefighters may have backfired.
