It's so bizarre how this administration keeps talking about environment toxins, but they're also pro-pollution
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

If the NIH gets messed up, there is no alternative. Not just in the US, but globally. It is by far the biggest engine of health research in the world. Which is why the idea that US scientists can just do their work elsewhere is a little fanciful.

PEAK GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY, AMIRITE??
The CDC is planning to conduct a large-scale study to re-examine whether there is a connection between vaccines and autism, federal officials said Friday. Dozens of scientific studies have failed to find evidence of a link.

Dozens of studies have failed to find evidence of a link. The decision to re-examine the question comes as a measles outbreak, driven by low vaccination rates, widens in Texas.

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Imagine being so lost in the woods that you're actually okay with Donald Trump illegally sending the world's richest man into the US Treasury to interfere with YOUR information.

I can't imagine how anyone becomes that stupid.

Hanging out with Elon Musk is probably a bit like hanging out with Martin Scorsese's character from Taxi Driver.

Both Trump and Musk are openly breaking dozens of laws, they are regarding the law and Constitution as completely irrelevant. They aren't trying to conceal their lawbreaking, they simply believe they can operate above it, ignore it completely.

I stated a few days ago that it won't be military/police that Musk uses, but he'll have his own private paramilitary. I didn't expect it to start so soon.

I wish the search engine on this website worked better (twitter's sucked too), but I can't find the post I made.
The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

"Folks, president trump and elon musk *say* they want to improve government efficiency, but I think that getting government workers to take time out of their day to take down posters that were already bought and paid for and paint over murals is an example of republican government waste"

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

The CDC medical eligibility criteria for contraceptives was a super useful tool I used often to determine what hormonal treatments (sometimes but not only used for birth control) were safe for my patients.

It’s no longer online as we apparently won’t need it as make America healthy again

These people weren't elected, they're not Senate-confirmed and they're not even filling Schedule C positions. Who is even paying them? Why is security even allowing them in the building? Where are House and Senate Democrats? This is effectively a government takeover.
