Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations.

Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance.

Nobody fucking wants any of this.

At 7:59 AM this morning, Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. both received the email with the scathing Bethesda Declaration attached.

300+ NIH employees are calling out leadership for putting:
❌ Politics before lives
❌ Loyalty before science
❌ Ideology before the American people

This is unprecedented.
