Federal officials appear to have "revoked" the layoffs of more than 400 employees of the CDC who had been abruptly dismissed months ago. The USG may reinstate the entire staff that tracks viral hepatitis and most employees in one of the CDC's environmental health divisions. The workers were among thousands that the HHS laid off on 1 April as part of a reduction in force, most of whom are still out of work. Employees of the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention accounted for 214 of the staff "expected to receive the rescission of RIF notifications." Some of these scientists performed disease surveillance work unlike any other labs in the world. Staff confirmed that the lapse in activity during the layoff caused damage in some of their labs and up-to-date disease surveillance was not conducted. read more
Former CIA analyst Asif William Rahman (34) of Vienna was sentenced to 37 months in prison for unlawfully leaking classified information on social media platforms in October 2024. Rahman accessed and released Top Secret documents regarding Israel and its planned actions against Iran on social media platforms. Some of the documents referred to Israel's nuclear capabilities, which have never been officially acknowledged. He then engaged in a deletion campaign of his work products on his Top Secret work station. Continuing through Nov 2024, Rahman repeated the process. Rahman, who worked abroad, was arrested by the FBI in Cambodia and brought to the US territory of Guam to face charges. On 17 Jan 2025, Rahman pleaded guilty to two counts under the Espionage Act and has remained in custody since his arrest. The BOP has not yet released information as to which prison Asif William Rahman (USMS #46561-511) will be confined in. read more
The DNC removed David Hogg (25) and Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta through a virtual vote on Wednesday night, stemming from a procedural complaint unrelated to Hogg's primary activities. Hogg (25) said he would now focus his efforts on Leaders We Deserve, the group he co-founded, which said it would take on "asleep-at-the-wheel" Democrats by pledging to spend $20 million on safe-seat Democratic primaries. Hogg's plan, announced in April, triggered a wave of anger from elected officials and DNC members, who argued that Hogg's role as a party leader conflicted with the decision to take on incumbents. One analyst writes the Democratic Party implosion is worse than you think: PJ Media read more

US Soldiers have begun directly detaining immigrants along the southern US border, in an escalation of the military's enforcement role. Those migrants were quickly turned over to USCBP and are now among more than 1,400 migrants charged with illegally entering militarized areas along that border. Soldiers are prohibited from conducting civilian law enforcement on US soil under the Posse Comitatus Act. But an exception known as the military purpose doctrine allows it in some instances. A judge in New Mexico has dismissed more than 100 national security charges against immigrants, finding little evidence that immigrants knew about the national defense areas. Those migrants still faced charges of illegal entry to the US. In Texas, a Peruvian woman who crossed the US border illegally was acquitted of unauthorized access to a newly designated militarized zone in the first trial under the Trump administration's efforts. read more
One theory: Trumpf may be trying to discredit and destroy Gavin Newsome's potential 2028 presidential candidacy. He saw the entirety of the Biden Administration going after him with the Special Counsel. Another theory: The Trumpf junta is seeding the American mind that seeing the US military everywhere should be a common everyday occurrence. After 9/11, the first time New Yorkers saw US military or NYPD personnel with assault weapons initially stunned them, but this is now an ordinary sight for them, like Americans seeing heavily armed ICE agents everywhere: 4.-------------
Iranian weightlifters, chess players, and wrestlers are world-renowned, as is Persian cuisine. Andre Agassi's father competed in the 1948 and 1952 Olympics for Iran as a boxer and later became a Golden Gloves champion in Chicago, before ably coaching his son in tennis. American grapplers can't wait to compete against these talented Iranian scrappers and vice versa.

Our boys are in harm's way again, thanks to Bibi (and Trumpf):
