Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget. https://go.nature.com/4gM6oW4

lol it does present a scene wherein a grandmother asks an 8yo boy if he wants to suck d***

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

you’d think these dipshits would have at least seen Alien 3

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

The JFK Library in Boston is reportedly closed indefinitely because of federal job cuts

very interested in the argument that destroying these somehow reduces waste

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

can’t believe how dumb this is

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

yes the “medication” we have to cure chickens of HPAI

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Never heard of ASPR? It’s the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. For health emergencies. Like natural disasters or infectious disease outbreaks. You may not know or think much about ASPR on the regs, but you’ll notice when it’s not there for the next health emergency.

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

According to the Houston Chronicle, public health officials in Texas think that there are likely 200-300 people now infected with measles. If confirmed, this outbreak is already out of control. H/t to @mickiemo.bsky.social for the heads up. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Another disastrous and ill-conceived decision. Directly negatively impacts the health of Americans. Foodborne illness outbreaks (such as Salmonella and Listeria) will not be investigated or controlled.

great time to fire all the infectious disease researchers

good time to fire all the infectious disease researchers

just like twitter

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

An absolutely scorching OpEd by Harold Varmus, Nobel laureate, on Trump's destruction of the vaunted US scientific & biomedical enterprise & on Trump's kooky picks to lead the US health & science agencies Gift link to share far & wide www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Allegory alert!

won’t be any new diseases now, good plan

NEW: Elon Musk and his team have posted classified data on DOGE's new website www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

good lord

starting to think the guy who named a company “Palantir” may not quite understand those books…

I’m sure this same logic applies to all companies and industries right?

lol

would like to have some Larry David bald solidarity here but man fuck these guys

Shaq: "In the words of Marshawn Lynch I'm tired as shit America. We getting fired anyway Ernie fuck it!" LMAO

It's also idiotic because it treats these as separate offenses rather than as one coherent narrative of TRUMP STOLE YOUR MONEY AND SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT

Pam Bondi and Emil Bove should resign and be arrested by their successors tbh.

This is good! Getting into the details shows this is dumb as rocks…but no more nonstop swing state press sounds kinda nice

So either Pete Hegseth is telling Russia & the world that every U.S. president & general has been lying about our military being the most lethal fighting force in history..Or he is telling the truth that the U.S. navy can’t match the Russian navy. Imagine navy folk hearing this

get your shots and medicines while you can

A very interesting “view” of “Boston” in the Netflix movie Aftermath

2.3% is…higher than I’d like

This is an absolute scandal. Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States. As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

this person probably getting hired at HHS
