All in favour for keeping all travellers from the USA in isolation until tests proof they are not a carrier of #birdflu before letting them enter your country, raise your hand. 🙋🏼‍♀️

And for the record, surpressing information about the spread of a biohazerd level 3+ pathogen with #pandemic potential is criminal. ☣️

Trump's #GagOrder Halts #CDC
First time in its 60-year history, the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (#MMWR) did not go out as scheduled because of a communications pause at federal #health agencies issued by the Trump administration.
"This is a concerning precedent that #publichealth messages won't be left to public health professionals and experts, and instead will be potentially controlled by politicians," Sonja Rasmussen, MD, former editor of MMWR

In May, #Trump was convicted on 34 counts of having #FalsifiedBusinessRecords in connection w/a #HushMoney payment to his ex-fixer #MichaelCohen made to adult film actress #StormyDaniels so she would keep her story of an affair w/Trump… a secret until after the 2016 presidential election.[#ElectionInterference]

The #GagOrder once prevented Trump from attacking key witnesses — like Cohen & Daniels — & jurors, but the judge partially lifted the order after the trial’s conclusion.

#NewYork’s high court tossed out #Trump’s #appeal of the #GagOrder in his #FalsifiedBusinessRecords / #ElectionInterference / #HushMoney #criminal case Thurs.

The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s #sentencing, bars him from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families.

In a brief order, the court said “no substantial #constitutional question is directly involved” & that it would dismiss Trump’s appeal.

#Trump loses appeal of #GagOrder in #criminal #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference case

A #NewYork state appeals court on Thurs rejected Trump's challenge to a gag order in his criminal #conviction case on charges stemming from #HushMoney paid to a porn star.

The ruling means Justice #Merchan's order preventing Trump from publicly commenting about individual #prosecutors & others will remain in place through his Sept #sentencing.

“Judge overseeing #Trump’s hush-money/elec interf criminal case has modified a #GagOrder, freeing TFG to comment publicly about witnesses & jurors in the trial until sentencing next month.

Judge Merchan’s ruling allows Trump to go on the attack against Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, other witnesses.

But Merchan ruled Trump is bound by restrictions on speaking about lawyers & staff for Manhattan DA’s office & the court, if those statements could interfere w case”

The revised order now allows #Trump to speak publicly about #witnesses in the case, but keeps in place restrictions on his comments about individual prosecutors & others involved in the case.

Trump's attys argued the #GagOrder was stifling his #campaign speech, & said it might limit his ability to respond to attacks from Democratic #POTUS Joe #Biden during their coming #debate on June 27.
