If Graham Platner loses in the primary or general, it wonโ€™t be because his messaging didnโ€™t land, or that his ideas arenโ€™t good.

Itโ€™ll be solely because he has a f*ckn Nazi SS totem tattoo on his damn chest, and did nothing to resolve that before running, until he was exposed for having it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

USDA's reputation suffers after massive revisions in US corn acres The U.S. Department of Agriculture, long the world's gold standard for crop estimates, faces mounting doubts about the reliability of its data from farmers, grain traders and economists following deep...

Under Trump, the USDA *wildly* underestimated the amount of corn that was harvested by US farmers in 2025.

This has been attributed by experts to be a direct result of massive staffing cuts.

Now, nobody in agriculture trusts USDA estimates and this could have disastrous effects.

These are efforts to make cures for multiple sclerosis, herpes โ€”ย affects hundreds of millions in the US alone! โ€”ย and shingles.

This is mindblowing, amazing stuff.

But these efforts for cures require a predictable regulatory environment, where decisions are made based on science & and pub health.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

All Tesla has to do is market to MAGA in the United States and convince MAGA that REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS drive Tesla.

One reason why public servants have for cause job protections is exactly to protect against this: an expert public servant with years of training fired from their job because they failed to satisfy the personal whims of egotists.
