"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, they’re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. It’s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."

Trump and Musk are hopelessly trapped. They were both skating on thin ice before this last month and now that ice has completely dissolved. If either of them makes an appearance outside of their superfan bubble, the pushback will be swift and brutal as we saw today with the Governor of Maine.

Always like to see a drunken, incoherent shitbag pass judgment on someone whose boots he's not fit to clean. About one step away from the "What do you call a black man with a Ph.D./four stars on his epaulets?" question

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.
