It is in nobodies interests to give Elon Musk the money to build a doomsday device in orbit as a 'missile shield'

He's playing Supervillain cosplay, he wants to smite the unbelievers, he's going to want a doomsday device in orbit.

His apocalyptic rhetoric only highlights the danger he poses to us all.

We're told the FDA is now making plans to🚨end most of its routine food safety inspections

That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state & local authorities, under this plan.

The FDA is ultimately responsible for the safety of much of the US food supply that's distributed over state lines, like packaged products, seafood, eggs & produce.

Our food, drugs, water, air, money, consumer products... are at risk.

From the American Library Assoc:

Take action & tell your Congressperson to support libraries by signing on to the two bipartisan Dear Appropriator letters currently being circulated by Representatives McGovern & Bacon

Calling your Rep would be great too!

"Musk installed his top Lts at GSA.

GSA oversees many of Uncle Sam’s real estate transactions, collecting & paying rent on behalf of almost every fed agency. It helps manage $Bs in fed contracts. And it assists other agencies in building better websites & digital tools for citizens.

It's so important bc it's “a choke point for all agencies -they can, in effect,🚨 stop all civilian agencies from purchasing, period. That’s everything...”

Massive bonanza of abandoned tech!
Grab a windows 10 machine and begin building the real Star Trek.

Install linux, save thousands of dollars, reduce the income of billionaires coyping America, end survielance by billionaires coyping America, get free apps not malware from billionaires couping America.

RFKjr is making a simple mistake, well simple minded.

When RFKjr, Trump's Fourth Horseman, is talking about austic people, (won't pay taxes etc.) it's a mind worm* glitch, he means dead measles babies not autistic folks.

Dead measles babies. Sterilized mother's.

*mind worm, brain worm #shrug

Measles murdered children will never pay tax, never skateboard, never rise up against fascists, never end billionairism.

Leaked PDF outlines major #HHS restructuring proposal (authenticity now confirmed). "The safety nets are being blown up right & left."

Floated cuts include some programs mandated by #Congress.

The plan for #NIH is in & it is catastrophic. Reduction to 8 centers. 40% cut in budget. 15% IDC cap. This will decimate #science across #America.

CDC struggling to fight raging measles outbreak after deep funding, staff cuts

In now-rarified comments from experts at the #CDC, an agency official on Tuesday evening said the explosive #Measles outbreak mushrooming out of West #Texas will require "significant financial resources" to control and that the agency is already struggling to keep up

The agency has been devastated by brutal cuts to CDC staff and funding, including a clawback of more than $11 billion in public health funds that went to state health departments
