This is insane. www.utilitydive.com/news/white-h...

One of the infinitely galling aspects of Trump winning re-election was how he and his administration experienced no real consequences with their handling of COVID. 1.2M dead, but no problem, let's put an anti-vaxxer in as health secretary. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Hello Sky People. This is bringing back fond memories of a platform of old - before it became a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Remember when it was described as "microblogging?" 🙃
