Among those initially cut were staff responsible for the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a critical vehicle for disseminating public health findings.

In the second week of the U.S. government shutdown, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified some 1,300 employees they would be laid off — then rescinded hundreds of those notices within hours, a person familiar with the matter said.

The Trump administration is set to lay off entire offices and hundreds of CDC workers as part of mass job cuts during the federal shutdown, four sources told Reuters on Saturday.

A crowd-sourced list from CDC employees, reviewed by Reuters, suggested several units, including the entire Washington office, were targeted for termination. Two sources within the CDC and two at other health agencies confirmed the list’s validity.

    I think she is just afraid of her voters, looks like Georgia is heavily affected by this.

    For example interview with Senator Warnock:

    Greene also supposedly is for releasing Epstein file, but when there was a vote to add amendment to another bill she voted against it.

    I think she is just acting in front of her base.

    BTW regarding the funding bill she actually said she is in favor of the nuclear option, meaning remove the 60 vote requirement, pass the funding bill and then maybe make some adjustments benefiting her state.

    Republicans don’t want to do it, because:

    1. If tables turn they no longer will be able to sneak their things with a threat of shutdown
    2. At that point the effects will be 100% on them
