Unemployment up, Uncle Sam downsizing. #econsky
* Number of additional unemployed Americans since January: 982,000.

* Number of federal government job losses: 271,000. 🤡
Trump: "The only reason our unemployment tucked up and went up to 4.5 percent [it's actually 4.6 percent] is because we are reducing the government workforce by numbers that have never been seen before."

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

It is deeply disturbing to see the head of the FDA shift from simply doing terrible, politically guided science to writing science fiction.

NEW: On a podcast last month, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary:

- said HIV “very likely came from a lab.”

- said Lyme disease came from a lab—“a high degree of probability.”

- said the so-called “Montauk
Monster”—a bloated, dead raccoon carcass—was proof “mad scientists” were doing experiments.
FDA Commissioner: HIV “May Very Well Have Come From a Lab”
During a recent podcast appearance, Dr. Marty Makary promoted lab origin conspiracy theories involving HIV, Lyme disease, and one dead raccoon.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Ok, so it IS about stealing oil.
The is a declaration and act of war without congressional approval, and imperialistic jingoism.

How one of the world's worst people eulogize one of most talented and kind. An outspoken gentleman.
This is both disgusting and expected.

Mob mentality. Torches and pitchforks.
"The Muslim community was there for us in November, and while I'm president, I'm going to be there for you" — Trump, at the White House Iftar, in May

"Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With the little [makes a noise]. With her little turban." — Trump, today
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

I'm not an economist but I don't see how this doesn't end in economic collapse. 1. Deporting the labor force that maintains our basic necessities 2. Slashing funding for education, government, and healthcare 3. Massive layoffs across the private sector 4. Destroying relationships with allies.

Well done CDC.
We earned it.
I’ve now had multiple sources tell me the UK NHS is removing the CDC from its list of reliable sources.

Welcome to irrelevance.

It took dozens of special agents the best part of a decade to bring Juan Orlando Hernández to justice for flooding US cities with cocaine. Then, in a single social media post last week, Donald Trump set the former Honduran president free.

Tennessee does not initiate a recount based on random people calling the election board and asking for one. The losing candidate needs to formally contest the election with five days of certification. Then there might be a recount.
