The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Trump’s “Return to Office” order for the federal workforce is a misnomer - many of us were hired as remote workers into remote teams that have been remote for 15+ years. Despite this, we are still being forced to “return” to an office we don’t have.

When you threaten farm workers with deportation raids at their place of employment, they stop showing up for work. That decreases productivity, which thereby increases prices.
This was predictable and we fucking told you so. This is squarely on Donald Trump.
