If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Veterans protest Trump, DOGE and Musk on National Mall - WTOP News Former members of the armed services joined friends and family on Friday on the National Mall to protest cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs and mass layoffs of federal workers.

"We paid for this with our blood, sweat and tears, and Elon Musk is out here destroying federal agencies with the stroke of a pen." I stand with our veterans. Enough is enough.

America is cutting $880 billion from Medicaid to force poor people to die so billionaire's can yacht.

We are such an amoral, Christian Nationalist country that hates the teachings of Jesus.

Thought we were attempting to reduce the federal deficit? Instead, Trump’s proposed budget plan is projected to significantly increase it.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

ABA
It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day.
Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform.
Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity.
We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few.
But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong.
It is also contrary to the rule of law.
The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair.
We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

They killed off Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it was too effective at protecting the public from unscrupulous, opportunistic conmen like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders The National Science Foundation has canceled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

This administration will have disastrous impacts on science and education in the U.S. this is just the start I fear. Please share far and wide. πŸ§ͺ www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze has led the National Parks Service to cancel job offers for seasonal employees. We are concerned this could leave our parks understaffed during the busy summer season, which sees over 100 million visitors annually.

So fascinated by the human impulse to be like 'wow, this food sanitation practice really improved the quality and safety of food, what an amazing development, we should definitely stop doing it.'
