A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago.
As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last year’s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided “nah.” That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.
We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

This is how patronage systems work in totalitarian transition. Claw back all resources and then (in showy performances of beneficence) bestow them selectively to supplicants now in your debt. What once were public services become private favors.
Lots of people seem to think this is bad for red states too but I’m not so sure. Trump says he wants to personally make the disaster relief decisions. He’ll help his cronies and punish those who won’t kiss his ass. That’s life under mob-style governance.
The Trump administration’s plan for FEMA is to fuck over the states and then blame Democratic governors
