Yes, the HPV vaccine is safe, despite R.F.K. Jr.'s claims. It's remarkably effective at preventing cancer — roughly 97% effective in preventing cervical cancer, and nearly 100% effective in preventing external genital warts.

DOGE is just a rebranding of the US digital service. It has nothing to do with efficiency. It is a political monitoring station that installs political commissars into agencies that have traditionally been above politics.
It would be great if you stopped playing along with their branding.

Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company. Crazy I know. But reality. The Dir of NIH should reach out to DOGE and offer to bring them in to remove inefficiencies.
There are always some and the Director know what they are.
DOGE gets a win. NIH gets back to work.

The story of this first week is corruption. Billionaires seated on the inaugural stage in front of the cabinet, crypto pump and dump, and the illegal firing of IGs. The media is acting like this is too chaotic and bewildering to interpret, but they are just afraid of sounding shrill. It’s corrupt.

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

The man is not qualified for the job. That is all that matters. He has never managed more than 100 people. He won't be the actual one running DOD because he has no clue how.
And this is what the Dems focus on ?
