You know who does Ebola prevention here in the U.S.?
The CDC, Spencerwrote.

USAID has long supported Ebola response efforts overseas.
The president also made the ridiculous claim that the European Union was formed to screw the United States.
Several lawsuits have been brought against Musk and Trump for the way that theyre currently destroying the federal government.
But it remains to be seen whether those lawsuits will be worth anything.
Trumps Justice Department continually ignores court orders in brazen defiance of the rule of law.
