What on Earth is the NIH thinking right now?
I mean, what if an moon landing skeptic took over NASA? It's like that. They literally produce this mountain of evidence and organize this stuff, and... yeah.
i think i remember in the debates, maybe it was JaDonald Vance, saying "it is either we choose to rely in science people, or rely on wisdom and common sense Trump has".
this is that wisdom.
Has Trump rehired anyone from his previous administration? I know he fired a shit ton of them but I know a few managed to stay on.
Because if this is all new people, it's very telling and I have a feeling it means it's going to be more dangerous and not less.
I feel like the only people who can do anything powerful would be the front line government workers and contractors. If they all quit their jobs en masse on January 20th, it might prevent the new administration from doing even more dangerous shit.
Lol the whole plan is to fire any government worker that doesn't step into line and replace them with party loyalists.
Every government worker that objects to Trump's Agenda quitting would help that agenda. There's no shortage of cronies willing to do any job for the sake of "Making America Great Again". And it's not like he needs qualified people in these positions. Most of the government agencies, he wants to run into the ground. Easier to get rid of regulations or to privatize that way.
No betsy devos, yet.
Stephen miller, which is not reassuring.
Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff, I believe. She didn't serve in an office before, but was high-level in his campaign in 2016, 2020, and 2024, so she's around for a long time.

Didn't just show up with Trump, has done Republican campaigns for a long time.
I feel like these articles blowing up now is just a way to make people less interested when it eventually has to pass the Senate... manufacturing consent and all that
What could possibly go wrong ?
So everyone funded by kremlin, gotcha
This guy is like a Nurgle devotee or something, right?
Next time ebola breaks out, I half expect him to eat a live bat on TV to prove it doesn't exist and immediately become patient zero right here
But fellatioborne transmission means the president gets it. The president.
This administration is turning out to be one of the most experienced in history. I have extremely high hopes for these picks, the combined knowledge is unheard of, nobody could imagine all of these top individuals.
I, for one, welcome our new kakistocratic overlords.
I know there’s an /s in there that you forgot. Please say that you forgot it…
Y'all still gonna trust vaccines when the next pandemic hits? Cuz I aint trusting these RFK worm-infested vaccines.
Mask your biohazard self if you’re not getting vaccinated for the next 4 years, thanks.
Or blue states can start manufacturing their own vaccines. fuck them red states lol, they brought this upon themselves.
I don’t know what about that comment signaled to you that I’d be okay with my family members that live in a red state dying because RFK fucked with vaccines, but I’m not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Where you live is a location, not an ideology.
Perfect reason for a strike.
