"The AVMA never recommends raw diets for dogs or cats because of the risk of multiple pathogens..." and the spread of H5N1 makes raw feeding riskier than ever. "The strain that’s currently circulating has a near 90 percent case fatality rate in domestic cats” www.popsci.com/health/how-t...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.
What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.
Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice.
But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

Well...I just realized why he is going after Native American citizenship and fuck him. If they aren't citizens they can't get gaming licenses. Will have to sell controlling stakes to US companies.

Heard from inside the National Cancer Institute, part of NIH — travel through April is canceled. Purchasing with government card is frozen. All public comms are off limits. Can’t even submit abstracts to future meetings. Can’t submit *manuscripts* for publication. All hiring activity frozen. Fuck.

A nice piece of Burns today:
“What force or guile could not subdue,
Thro' many warlike ages,
Is wrought now by a coward few,
For hireling traitor's wages.”

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.
Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds
