Dear Humans,

Your great-grandparents prayed for a cure for measles.

You have it—and yet some of you want to 'research' your way back to the 1800s.

I shake my head as people actually think DOGE has identified waste, fraud and abuse in 5 days.  What they are doing is gutting programs they don’t like according to Project 2025.  They haven’t done any analysis and don’t even know the functions of the departments they are cutting.

Makes me long for the good old days (meaning anything more than a month ago) when administrations actually cared about obeying the law.

If Florida is so dangerous that people need to openly carry guns why would anyone want to take their family there on vacation?

Why hasn’t there been more coverage and posts on this march today in St. Louis? We need much more of this!

Health Resources Vanish Following D.E.I. and Gender Orders

This is what happens when you put a cult that deep down hates public health science in charge.

So now there will be a massive detention camp with all of the attendant human rights abuses. It seems that in the new Trump era we will be forced to re-live some of the darkest times in America.

Air controllers at this airport were presented with a new contract with a cut in pay. All are walking out. Gotta love the new FAA. Who needs air traffic controllers anyway? What could possibly go wrong?

Imagine RFK, Jr’s measles anti-vax debacle in Samoa on the scale of the United States. Frightening. He can’t be allowed to cripple the DHHS.

It would have been helpful to clarify what “sclerotic architecture” means in this post. Does it refer to party leadership, politicians, etc. or Dem seniors in general? Hopefully not the latter …
