Every ten minutes here is like:
- Trump doubles student debt
- Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs
- Three planes just crashed
- Trump signs EO making women illegal
- Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA
- Meteor not arriving fast enough

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.

Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

CDC staff have been told to RETRACT all studies submitted to journals (but not yet accepted) if they include the words “gender” or “pregnant people”.
