I mean nothing new, Mr. Brainworm has been ranting about this for a while now and Trump has specified that gutting agencies was always his project 2025 plan so why would anyone be surprised here?
Good luck everyone and enjoy 2025!
Burn it all down.
Headline from the future:
"Displacing heart disease, the primary cause of death in the USA is now 'easily preventable disease'"
Oh no! Guess they weren't kidding about project 2025.
This will be very interesting to watch. From outside USA ofc. Otherwise I would use a different word.
As a American, it's morbidly interesting to me.
And do you think there will be a single Republican willing to do anything about it?
Mark my words, they will vote 100% in lockstep every single time. And if what Trump is doing is illegal (like that matters anyway), they'll just write legislation to make it legal. Not a single one of them is going to even think about criticizing him, out of fear of either violence, political suicide, or both.
The government will be crammed with unqualified hacks from top to bottom. The corruption will be open and blatant.
And every single Republican senator will vote to confirm. Every single time.
RFK in charge of healthcare. Musk in charge of spending. Aileen cannon is either getting the AG job or a Supreme Court seat. Whichever one she doesn't get, Alina Hobba gets. Steve Bannon gets pardoned and gets communications director. Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.
They'll all get jobs. The Senate will confirm them all. And far-right conspiracy theories will become official US policy.
Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.
White House Press Secretary Alex Jones is an Onion article that writes itself, 3 times a week
I hate how you right you are.
Snake oil is back on the menu, boys.
Medicinal mercury is back baby! Just as long as there's no vaccines!
I wonder if they will fudge some studies and numbers so that it will be evidence based snake oil?
A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.
I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.
She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.
Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don't have to deal with pesky things like "safety" and "consequences for killing people".
You just need to reference their last playbook: less data means it's not happening, like covid.
Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.
He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.
Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.
I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I'll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.
So, in other words, Trump is going to do exactly what he told us he would do.
Technically, he said he has no knowledge of Project 2025. Fortunately for Republicans, Trump’s team is all over it.
While being able to say that a majority of voters wanted it this way because they voted for him.
Same justification he will use for a nationwide abortion ban and locking up his political opponents.
