TOM & Co seem to have to do a lot of back pedaling when they “mistakenly” fire people. Umm. Figure it out folks. You make a VERY BIG DEAL out of firing people. And then not 48 hours later (multiple times this has occurred) you claim a whoopsie my bad and bring them back. Do they get emails that say JK JK. April Fools? “The Trump administration is scrambling to rehire Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staffers that were let go as part of the president’s promise to cull the federal workforce in response to the government shutdown.

The firings on Friday were part of the more than 4,000 government jobs cut by the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post. Many of those let go were working to combat critical diseases, including measles and Ebola.

After the New York Times and other outlets reported on the firings of the CDC staff, a federal health official told the outlet that many of those laid off had been terminated in error, and would be brought back. Officials speaking to the Times said that some of the staff working on the MMWR publication were laid off "in error because of a misclassification" of their job codes and that those workers would be restored. The source reportedly also said that anyone working to combat measles or Ebola would be restored.”

And not to be out-dumbed, Vance threatened that more fed employees would be sacked. That’ll bring in the votes. “Vance warned that as the federal shutdown entered its 12th day, the new cuts would be “painful,” even as he said the Trump administration worked to ensure that the military is paid this week and some services would be preserved for low-income Americans, including food assistance.

Still, hundreds of thousands of government workers have been furloughed in recent days and, in a court filing on Friday, the Office of Management and Budget said well over 4,000 federal employees would soon be fired in conjunction with the shutdown.

“The longer this goes on, the deeper the cuts are going to be,” Vance said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “To be clear, some of these cuts are going to be painful. This is not a situation that we relish. This is not something that we’re looking forward to, but the Democrats have dealt us a pretty difficult set of cards.” You do know, J Darth, that no one is buying that load of horse crap that the D’s are responsible for the shutdown. You’ve got MTG pointing her very red finger right in your direction.

Put your coffee cup down because you’ll spit it across the room on this next one. Leave it to R Fraud K Jr to come up with this. And to actually say it out loud. To the world. “Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Trump administration officials during a roundtable meeting that children who have been circumcised had “double the rate of autism” compared to those who didn’t receive the procedure. His statement builds upon an initiative he launched in September to review what he considered to be an autism epidemic.

Kennedy made the claim during President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting on Thursday after Trump requested an update from the secretary about the Department of Health and Human Services. He told the officials he had read two studies about circumcised children and autism. 

“There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism,” Kennedy said. “It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol.” There are no words for this. Soooo being Jewish means that you’re twice as likely to be autistic? You see where this is going, right?

“Tylenol launched a campaign featuring webpage pop-ups and numerous social media posts that refute the Trump administration’s claims and encourage people to seek information from a medical professional.

“If you are treating your little one with acetaminophen, please know that there is no credible science that shows taking acetaminophen causes autism,” the pharmaceutical company wrote. “When searching what medicine may be suitable for infants and children, the best thing you can do is to speak with your health care provider — they will guide you on what is best for your child’s pain and fever.” “Autism is a complex developmental disability shaped by genetic, biological and environmental factors,” the Autism Society said. “It is neither a chronic illness nor a contagion that qualifies harmful language like ‘epidemic,’ and to do so is both inaccurate and stigmatizing.” This from the people who advocate for people living with autism. I dunno about you, but I’m inclined to listen to them.
