DOGE is driving Social Security cuts and will make mistakes, acting head says privately The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner said members of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team are outsiders who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the agency’s programs.

Republicans would rather let DOGE mess with your hard-earned Social Security checks than grow a spine and stand up to Elon.

MSNBC just called Rep. Al Green's censure "an embarrassing mark on his record." Maybe MSNBC thinks Rosa Parks' arrest was an embarrassing mark on hers.

Pass it on.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

Same.

I'm so sorry. It really is the worst.

This is a national emergency:

🪓MASS DELETION UPDATE—More than 1,000 pages are now deleted from websites of CDC, National Institutes of Health, and other sites of the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a new WSJ analysis—including many **vaccine recommendation** scientific pages!

White male fragility at its finest.

Don't be fooled by any sleight of hand with the use of the phrase, "TEMPORARILY PAUSE"

If any of these federal funds/awards are being used for activities/programs inconsistent with Trump's policies or his Administration's priorities, they'll be gone.

Excellent post

If you don't 100% unequivocally support trans rights, unfollow me. You will find no comfort here.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

The Second Trump White House Could Drastically Reshape Infectious Disease Research. Here’s What’s at Stake. Donald Trump’s pick to lead the federal health agency has vowed to replace hundreds of staffers and shift research away from infectious diseases and vaccines. Such an overhaul could imperil the develo...

Bhattacharya has gone under the radar but would be a disaster. He spread disinformation about COVID, opposed lifesaving public health measures, and encouraged mass infection. As Trump’s NIH head he plans to cut research on vaccines and infectious diseases.
