President Donald Trump’s moves to end foreign aid agency hit close to home in Illinois Illinois groups receiving aid dollars that help developing nations say freezing federal funds hurts jobs at home.

Lack of accountability for the outcomes of their decisions is a travesty. Musk admitting their justification was untrue fits a pattern—say something inflammatory to get what you want, then walk it back later. You would think that would upset supporters more than it seems to be doing.

US goverment seeks to rehire recently fired nuclear workers It is having problems contacting people who were fired in Trump's blitz to shrink the federal workforce.

The incompetence is truly staggering.

Top Justice Department official orders prosecutors to drop charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams The Justice Department has ordered federal prosecutors to drop corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams and halt the ongoing investigation.

"...the order was not based on the strength of evidence in the case, but rather because it had been brought too close to Adams reelection campaign and was distracting from the mayor’s efforts to assist in the Trump administration’s law-and-order priorities." This scary to anyone else?

The public lost access to Census Bureau data for days after a Trump order After Trump put out an executive order targeting gender identity, the public lost access to many Census Bureau data tables and research reports for days, raising concerns about the data's integrity.

One of many sources of data going missing. In a nightmare vista of scary things, the loss of data (not to mention trust in data) is a significant mention. www.npr.org/2025/02/12/n...

When private funders are afraid of retribution by government officials for socially conscious and responsible initiatives, that's (one of the many current indicators by which you can know) when there's a big problem.

This poll says to me that the US has not done a great job in teaching people second-order thinking

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

The US Government Is Not a Startup Elon Musk is moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.

"Things that can't afford to be broken." Louder for the people in the back.

Cannot emphasize this enough. Don't give them power they don't have.

There are so many things wrong here, but this is the one that is sticking out to me right now: Making decisions without understanding the implications is the hallmark of amateurish leadership
