Bad: Todays publication is about fires, and not the missing bird flu or mpox studies we knew were up for publication. Of which have safety implications for veterinarians and people with house cats

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

We cannot tolerate the devastation Kennedy would wreak in an H5N1 pandemic if he is confirmed. We cannot sacrifice millions of human lives to install an anti-science ideologue as the overseer of American health. The HHS is supposed to save lives, not end them.

Unbelievable that this f'ing orange baboon is suddenly an air traffic control expert and is out here casting blame less than 15 hours after the accident. Sick to my stomach.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

January 20, 1950: the CDC publishes the first Weekly Morbidity Report (which became Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) . The "Voice of the CDC" appeared every week through Jan 16, 2025. The January 23 edition was never published, a victim of Trump's crackdown on public health info. Insanity.

This. Dems need to empty the toolbox.
Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
