Is there another way to say “This is scary as hell!” because I’ve been saying this every single day after learning about another destructive action taken by this deplorable regime.

Kennedy is a disgrace. His father would be so ashamed. He is desperately seeking to please Trump, who wants to destroy the federal government and distrusts experts - scientists, doctors, researchers, anyone who has knowledge and won’t accept his lies and deceit.

To morons like RFK Jr. and Nazilon, firing thousands of people without cause is being “efficient”.

We have invested decades of tax dollars building exceptional institutions that are the envy of the world. Musk, Trump and the GOP are demolishing it. It is unforgiveable and reflects the twisted, hateful, bigoted nature of the people doing it.

Trump is firing the doers.

I'm going to keep on till I see Dem leaders saying it:this is a planned, purposeful, and wide-sweeping EUGENICIDE.

ANY of us they deem undesirable(NOT cis,white,hetero, mid-upper class,christianish,neurotypical,able-bodied,health privileged,housed,institutionally educated etc) are being culled.

Can Ca and NY get together and form their own health and disease agency?

It's the human equivalent of burning the books. Fascist guide book: make the general population helpless and desperate. MAGA will be hurt badly (the nonwealthy) because they hate the government but they depend on government programs, even if they don't want to admit it.

To me it’s never been about a budgetary issue; it’s a constitutional one.

To me, they are total idiots given power and control over other people lives, and this is the result. There is no plan, there is no concept, they just do random stuff they currently think is important. Yes, some has some idiotic convictions, there is still no proper plan in it.
