If there's any indication of how far the US will fall, it is this 👇
Even Caroline Kennedy posted a video detailing the sickness/evilness of her cousin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nryo...
I'm guessing, for starters, there'll be no bird flu vaccine in the (likely) event that it spreads ala Covid. 📰🧪

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible.
So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.

It's going to be interesting to watch what happens to NASA once they get to DOGE'ing that government agency.
I'm guessing: dismissing all parts of NASA that have anything to do with missions not involved in getting humans to Mars.
What is your guess?

Well, a lot of soldiers may be caught in one. Musk just got a government order for $400,000,000 dollars to supply armored trucks to the military over the next few years.
