"Teams that fulfilled requests for government documents lost their jobs on Tuesday as part of the Trump administration's 10,000-person staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services. Their work, mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, gives the public a view of the inner workings of federal health agencies."

What was in all of those signal chats. Guess we'll never know. And by that I mean guess we'll have no documentation of multiple meetings

If you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.

TL;DR (quoted from the article)
- Personal devices only
- Don’t leak from work, on a work device, or from work Wi-Fi
- Use Signal and Signal’s camera
- The reporter should recreate any image you leak before displaying it to the public

Thought: Bill Burr should be the comedian at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.

PLEASE HELP ME ESCAPE!

Please #boost and share to other platforms.I don’t have energy left (see below).

Seems I’m famous (and real!) and desperate enough to go to the media for help. Yes, the trapped woman in the articles below is me.

Last year:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2024/05/03/me-cfs-anna-australia/

Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.

If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.

A year later:
https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/04/01/anna-severe-me-cfs/

I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.

Are able help? Please ask people in real life if they have somewhere for me to go. Could they take me in (I can pay small rent)? A lot people have ‘big house, not enough money’ problem. I can help!

Is anybody an #advocate? I desperately need help.

I would be incredibly grateful for any help beyond words.

Please read articles for full information.

Thank you for reading.
