The Trump administration’s assault on public health—gagging the CDC, gutting USAID, censoring medical journals—isn’t just reckless, it’s deliberate sabotage. The worst part? Many have become numb to the destruction. Huge thanks to Dr. Faust, Dr. Benjamin, and others who are standing up to this.

Absolutely. It's what Steve Bannon said to do....just overwhelm with garbage that we can't even keep up with.

How can anyone believe the "promises" of someone as unscrupulous as RFK Jr?

I do wonder what kind of recourse the Senate really will have here. I'd imagine zero.

GOP Senators probably spineless, as usual.

Why didn’t anyone listen to what Caroline Kennedy said ? Ideas ? A lack of OSHA would be crazy.

I suppose they have determined that their own sense of power (increasing a delusion) is more important.

Would be interesting to know if ER visits are increasing for heart attacks, strokes, panic attacks, car accidents, etc life threatening incidents.. due to the increased stress that’s happening in our society and insomnia etc due to this nationwide political upheaval (science and research data related to ER visits over the last three weeks … and maybe increases of flu and covid due to stress lower immune function etc the big picture )
