As someone who used to do securities fraud cases for a living, this is the equivalent of opening up the financial gates of hell.

‘The basis of eugenics’: Elon Musk and the menacing return of the R-word The slur is rooted in the dehumanization of people with intellectual disabilities. Its resurgence threatens the fragile progress we’ve made

‘The basis of eugenics’: Elon Musk and the menacing return of the R-word

Call it by its name: Trumpcession

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians & other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful violation of a commitment.

Infant mortality rises in states with abortion bans, study finds Increases in infant mortality have been found in U.S. states that enacted abortion bans or severe restrictions after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark ruling that guaranteed a right to the procedure, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

A Marine vet thought he found a 'home' working at the VA. Now he's one of 1,000 fired. Andrew Lennox, who was terminated from the VA, noted the irony of the VA claiming it had fired some veterans to help veterans.

I’m going to continue to work until my computer access is revoked,” Lennox said. “Then I’m going to volunteer. I’m going to keep working as best I can to support the veterans. That’s what I’m here for.”

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated.

Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations.

The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

Impossible to exaggerate significance of today's events in Munich. 1) Vance eviscerated Europe's political leadership, accusing them of being Soviet. 2) Vance did NOT meet with Germany's leader, but DID meet with leader of neo-Nazi AfD. This day marks end of post WW2 global order. It's horrifying.

Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

3 hours to leave her house. This is how they treat a 4-star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard.

Anti-DOGE rally getting underway now outside the U.S. Department of Labor, where DOGE was reportedly scheduled to have a meeting today.

Big turnout from AFGE, one of the federal unions in Trump’s crosshairs.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,

Robert Reich
Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Weird stuff on the website

The Boring Company The Boring Company constructs safe, fast-to-dig, and low-cost transportation, utility, and freight tunnels.

Knowing this company was paid to dig tunnels…aka Musk Holes…underneath LV concerns me…more so knowing one of its members is part of “DOGE”

The EPA Just Locked Its Own Employees Out of Doing Their Jobs Employees were also warned they could be fired at a moment’s notice.

More than 1,100 Environmental Protection Agency employees could be at risk of spontaneously losing their jobs, according to a Trump administration memo.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms

‘Aliens’ and ‘animals’ – language of hate used by Trump and others can be part of a violent design Hateful language used to demonize particular groups of people had been used long before the era of Donald Trump, including by the Nazis.

Trump and his supporters often dehumanize #immigrants as “animals” or “aliens.” A human rights scholar warns that dismissing such rhetoric overlooks how words are a first step toward violent policies. https://buff.ly/3PYweeE
