Also from STAT "Biden’s health secretary approved appt of eight new candidates to a critical committee that helps set U.S. vaccination policy — that could, in theory, make it more difficult for the Trump administration to shape the panel with its own appointees." www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/a...

DOGE is now a verb. He's going to get DOGE'd. He texted me and said: 'Jesse, this isn't good. I'm upset. This is really sad.' This guy is not a DEI consultant. This guy is not a climate consultant. This guy is a veteran. So when you're talking about DOGE-ing people, veterans should get priority

Jay Kuo: "It’s too early to tell whether these are isolated cases or the beginning of an internal revolt, but one thing is clear: There are cracks now in the GOP dam protecting DOGE and Trump." open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

All this winning

Tiedrich: "turns out that even MAGA doesn’t like Kid Ketamine taking his chainsaw to the government programs that they’re just now finding out that they use, too. somehow, these fuckwits thought that firing half the government would somehow only affect drag queens." open.substack.com/pub/jefftied...

Imagine. A government official (of some sort) lying and calling those who dare to oppose him silly names. Imagine that in any other administration. That's also part of my gripe. The clown show dumpster fire is so embarrassingly unprofessional and inexperienced.
