This should be the Trump Administration's new slogan.
The Mine Safety & Health Administration has stopped enforcing the silica exposure standard and is dismantling NIOSH, which does lung disease research and certifies respirators.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
NewsGuild:
"Management plans to lay off six of our members, most of whom are BIPOC women or trans, including Teen Vogueβs Politics Editor...
There was no mention in the announcement of the coverage that has earned Teen Vogue massive readership and wide praise from across the journalism industry."
Complete insanity. Right in front of her daughter. This thug has no ID or anything.

Trump's Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has the authority to ensure SNAP benefits continue during the shutdown. Their own shutdown guidance confirmed it.
Instead, they decided to illegally reverse course and cut SNAP benefits for 42M hard working Americans. Hunger is not a political tool. Shameful.
βWalmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonaldβs was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.β

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβbut in jobs that pay poverty wages

Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.
I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.
