WTF, Fetterman?
An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

Well, dismantling the NIH is by far one of the stupider things he's doing. Guess another pandemic may be waiting in the wings...P.O.S.
It appears that Trump is fixated on punishing the agencies and individuals (Dr Fauci) he blames for his own failures during the the COVID pandemic -- failures that cost him re-election. Now he's lashing out by essentially canceling all federally backed research. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
What the Hell Is Going on at NIH?
Scientists sound the alarm about Trump’s unprecedented “Big Brother” research crackdown.

No surprise the OrangeAnus cannot tolerate any inference of his inferiority in so many categories of just being human. Pathetic bastard.
We are essentially hostages to Trump's inability to emotionally process ordinary defeat and disappointment. And 76 million voters handed him the keys to wreck the whole country in one giant tantrum he thinks will erase his history of failure. Watch him try to reverse his impeachments, too.

If you've read any history about WWII and/ or the Holocaust, this is dejà vu.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

ICYMI:

Trump's late-night purge of 17 independent Inspectors General who serve as watchdogs against government waste, fraud, and abuse just furthers his dismantling of any checks and balances system.

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

HCR reminds us how hard people fought to safeguard the democracy their grandchildren threw out as unwanted trash.

"This democratic government was popular, but as the memory of the dangers of fascism faded, opponents began to insist that such a government was leading the United States to communism."

Greg Palst’s new report includes Brennan Center information about the multiple ways black votes were suppressed in this last election. We need to investigate and shine the light on exactly what happened and who actually won.
