Officials in US health agencies fear ‘people will get sick’ as programmes are slashed and scientists are fired under the constant surveillance of DOGE
Zoom meetings are avoided out of fear they are being secretly recorded. Conversations about budgets and policies are held in soundproof offices, as if they were matters of national security. Many employees carry small notebooks with them, jotting down notes instead of logging them on a computer. The desks of several sacked colleagues are empty — save for the few who have left family photos and possessions behind in case a judge rules they can return.
“There is a constant sense that we’re being watched and monitored,” the source said. “DOGE leadership are located several floors above but they have this omnipotent presence … We’re counted when we swipe our badges into the building.”
Duh
Everything under this Chicken Taco Turd’s shadow has been a disaster
Not quite. Israel is getting its wishes granted, and that’s all that really matters.
True, but I was making a reference towards everything in the US
A reminder enough Democrats voted to approve this guy to be there. Everyone saw this coming.incorrect statement. (Edited)This is totally false. No Democrat voted to confirm him. It was 52 R for, 45 D, 2 I, and 1 R against. See https://ballotpedia.org/Confirmation_process_for_Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr._for_secretary_of_health_and_human_services#Confirmation_vote_roll_call for more details.
A reminder that even if it is false in this case, many Dems did vote for many of Trump’s appointees. Kristi Noem comes to mind immediately.
I will admit to being wrong here. I mis remembered.
Who are twenty people who downvoted the comment? As is the attribute of the party, there are always enough Democrats who are bootlickers and vote for oligarchic policies to keep the corruption going!
The 20 of us who looked up the vote record for his confirmation?
Democrats do bad things, but let’s at least complain about the bad things they actually did.
Why do I want to listen to King Crimson now?
Not terribly relevant - I’m crying today.
His face really exemplifies my impression of the entire Boomer generation.
They’re obsessed with chasing aesthetics of wealth (tanning their skin) but are also too arrogant to reconsider their values in light of all the new knowledge we’ve discovered (using sunscreen). So they just end up with avoidable consequences (extra wrinkly), pissed off, and don’t even know why or how so they just take their angry out on everyone else.
I’m always so blessed to be in the presence of greatness on Lemmy. Now it’s all clear exactly how an entire generation of people think and behave. Thank you 🙏

RfK is doing great! - Lord of Pestilence Nurgle
he is pestilence acolyte. controlled by goauld.
don’t besmudge-tain the great-famed god Nurgle like this!
I didn’t know the Skaven recognize Nurgle.
honorary pestilens
(still salty that 40k doesn’t have skaven)
The upside of the 40k setting is that there’s an indefinite number of as-yet-undiscovered or un-re-discovered worlds, or strata of worlds, populated by any number or type of humans, abhumans, or nonhumans, so any time someone does an RP in-universe there’s absolutely no friction in acting like 40k does, in fact, have them.
We did get beef tallow fries back in the United States again available at Steak 'n Shakes because of RFK Jr
Guess we gotta take the wins we are given
RFK jr prefers finer things, like wild animal carcasses, with side dish of parasitic eggs. he would probably actively fight scavengers for the roadkill.
Yeah nothing says win like doing away with seed oils for no fucking reason.
Nothing like having “bro influencer science” being applied by the federal government…
Eicosanoids are created when polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as highly refined vegetable and seed oils, are oxidised. They increase oxidative stress on human cells. I’d err on the side of caution and avoid consuming more than necessary.
Is that more or less harmful than the cardiovascular effects of beef tallow?
Deep fried food is bad for you in general, but personally if I had to I’d take the beef tallow over PUFA for deep frying, although if the oil is used for a long period of time they are both terrible.
What are the cardiovascular effects of beef tallow that you’re referring to?
Ah yes. Eating deep fried food, for your health.
Fucking America.
Even if we took that “win” which is just some junk science to make idiots think they got a win the net gain is still significantly into the negative. You can’t run a country on one false step forward and 100 real steps back
