I think a lot of people still have a hard time understanding how deeply and completely this administration simply does not care.
Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.
With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us'

Starting to think that the SC ruling "Mango mobster can do whatever he likes, no matter how criminal or deplorable, he can have someone murdered or assassinated at his whim, he can steal from the Treasury, pillage the country, he is above every law of the USA"....might have been bad. Just saying.

Is this what efficient government means? Are we great yet?
Are we including the fatally poor management of the Pandemic & the leaving of office in 2020? J/6? Bcuz I remember. Plus, 34 felonies. I’m just in shock at how many shitty American men there are & that there are so many ignorant women that married these men.

I’m guessing dinosaurs aren’t the only thing LSD made RFK see.
Dr John Campbell on YouTube got ahold of the CDCs autism epidemic paper. RFK is saying 1/3 to half of kids now born w autism have IQs LESS THAN 70. Nationwide. IQs LESS THAN 70! If this were true…it would require investigation. I don’t believe it’s true. Anyone out there know anything about this??🏴☠️🫤

I guess you just have to prioritize when money is tight.
Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

Active defense of American constitutional democracy was ALWAYS the job. We got here because too many generations of congress thought that part was optional as long as they brought a major contract to their constituents.
The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule.

I believe this is what Steve Bannon refers to as “flooding the zone”. We can list the symptoms, but we need to treat the underlying disease.
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
