Trump Fires CDC Director, Declares War on Sanctuary Cities

In a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, Trump’s spokesperson Karoline Leavitt slapped down Susan Monarez, fired from the CDC for not being 'aligned' with the Maha agenda — yes, we’re still trying to decode that too. Meanwhile, Border czar Tom Homan announced a 'ramp up' of ICE ops post-Labor Day, targeting hot Democrat sanctuaries like Chicago, NYC, LA, Portland, and Seattle – because apparently public safety means deporting non-collaborative citizens on a city-by-city vendetta tour. So, in 2025, Trump’s government is less about public health and more about playing whack-a-mole with sanctuary cities. Meanwhile, Karoline’s flexing the 'right to fire' card like it’s going out of style. Welcome to the Cirque du Dysfunction!
