Our hearts go out to the incredible folks at NIOSH. On Friday night, most remaining staff were laid off—gutting programs that protect workers, like PPE approvals and firefighter health research.
RFKJ’s HHS tried to downplay it on X, brushing it off as just a “required notice.”
Total BS.

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against:
-Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest
-Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers
-Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans
It's open season for corporate crooks.
