Taxpayer money to be thrown into the nonsense hole.
And I’m sure there’s plenty of scummy clout chasing pathetic scientists and total nonsense believing kook doctors will be willing to follow the politics right into garbage medical disinformation promotion.
RFKJr is pushing Great Barrington Declaration “natural herd immunity” eugenics pseudoscience for bird flu.
RFK Jr. warns vaccinating poultry for bird flu could backfire By Alexander Tin March 6, 2025 / 4:00 PM EST / CBS News We’ve in fact said, at the USDA, that they should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds and preserve the birds that are […]
CFPB was setting right decades of wrongs, but Elon Musk decided it all belongs to him.
CFPB has been making rules to stop bad actors ripping us off in the financial system. Who gains by supporting rip-offs of the American people exactly?
On cleaving MAGA from the tech tycoon project.
It makes sense to use Steve Bannon’s talking points, because obviously he’s expert in messaging to MAGA.
The problem with “no tax on tips” and the tip-ification of the job market.
I recommend listening to AOC’s response to the presidential address purely for the very good explanation of what’s wrong with the idea of “no tax on tips” and the perverse “unintended consequences” that would come out of that. AOC responds to Trump’s Congressional Address | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Mar 6, 2025 I highly recommend keeping […]
Info cocoons and the fired IRS worker saying that silly comment about thinking Trump had “business acumen” .
The fired IRS worker thought Trump had “business acumen” because he was in an info cocoon. He probably watched The Apprentice and believed it was reality not just a fictionalized reality tv show. He was likely well situated enough during the first Trump term to not pay much attention to politics. Many people, even government workers, ignore […]
Even the guy who is Trump aligned and got promoted at Social Security for leaking to DOGE is worried now about DOGE.
We deserve to know what exactly Elon Musk’s hacker gang crew is doing at Social Security, and what “nuances” they don’t understand that may wind up wrecking things for senior citizens.
Less regulation, more misinfo, buyer beware.
In an era of rampant medical misinformation, health claims need scrutiny. Any claim made really – slow down and consider it.
Dark money has been trying to dismantle the EPA for years.
The EPA is not supposed to consider business, only the effects to public health.
When it’s Family, it’s nepotism.
NBC News – Secretive Christian group at heart of D.C. politics ready for its close-up in Netflix docuseries “The Family” puts the spotlight on the enigmatic Fellowship Foundation, the Christian group behind the National Prayer Breakfast.

Air out the particle board furniture.
The government needs to regulate formaldehyde, including in furniture, as it’s a health hazard.
James Carville is pushing Accelerationism.
Apocalyptic hopium isn’t just lazy or bizarre, it’s curious and we should all be suspicious when it’s pushed.
It’s a mistake to assume any of it is a mistake.
They really are actual eugenicists. Didn’t those salutes tip you off?
Jellyfish Rob Bresnahan folds like a cheap lawn chair and breaks promise to not cut Medicaid.
My representative in Congress, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R, PA-08), had promised not to vote for cuts to Medicaid, and was quoted saying, “If a bill is put in front of me that guts the benefits my neighbors rely on, I will not vote for it.” And yet, he voted for the bill that mathematically would have to cut Medicaid.
Social security is essential necessary social insurance.
robertreich – march 2, 2025 Elon Musk called Social Security a “ponzi scheme.” This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger “ponzi scheme” is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations? This social security lie is the biggest […]
New FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino never stopped promoting anti-vax nonsense for political attention.
Conservatives have admitted to running ad campaigns to convince liberals to be anti-mask, so I don’t doubt there’s been target marketing of anti-vax aimed at democrats.
The right-wing chopping at the American weather service.
The right-wing chopping at the American weather service.
Government Executive – DOGE enters NOAA, accesses IT systems and removes the top HR official – The Musk-led team is rooting out DEI and, some lawmakers fear, may have an eye toward grander aims at the agency. February 5, 2025 02:55 PM ET Eric Katz
My letter to reps:
There is no profit motive for maintaining public safety, that’s why the weather service has to be a community government effort. The Elon Musk people should stay the hell away from my weather service. I don’t trust things already. If I can’t trust the weather information, then where are we? Nobody can plan for anything or trust anything if NOAA is corrupted.
Please feel free to copy or repurpose the contents of my letter for your own letters to reps.
The surveillance state already exists, including at healthcare appointments.
Members of law enforcement agencies may have the ability to track the medical appointments of any patient of Kaiser Permanente (which owns Geisinger in Pennsylvania), without a warrant and without any probable cause, for any reason that may interest them.
Get ready for AI hallucinated mistakes in Social Security payments.
They’re planning on deploying dubious crappy AI in federal government systems.
Goldbug political disinformation ops from a government agency.
EPA press release: “Administrator Lee Zeldin Finds Gold Bars from EPA at Stacey Abrams’ Connected Group, Biden-Harris Ethical Red Flags” Actual news story: “Lee Zeldin likens Biden energy ‘scheme’ connected to Stacey Abrams to ‘throwing gold bars off the Titanic’” There were no gold bars involved at all that I could find out. The hypothetical […]
