Of course, while scientists are developing new tools to protect people around the world from diseases like malaria, global health funds to deploy these are shrinking dramatically. Countries “will have to choose carefully", how to use the funds they have, says Fredros Okumu, a mosquito biologist.

And in August CDC decided to stop tracking Listeria via FoodNet. www.foodsafetynews.com/2025/08/cdc-...
6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional.

Brooke Rollins can't help but lie if she wants to stay in Trump's good graces.
The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Note—every time a Federal judge rules against Trump, Trump claims "the judge is usurping the President's power."
That's a lie.
Judge's don't "usurp" POTUS's power—they enforce Constitutional & Congressional limits on power.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

🧪CDC’s former statements on vaccines were based on science, not whims.
This is quite possibly the most damaging headline I think I’ve ever seen from the @nytimes.com
It’s not merely “CDC’s position,” it is established scientific fact
Portraying RFK Jr as a brave, swashbuckling maverick—out there challenging “scientific orthodoxy”—is astoundingly irresponsible

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

So does that mean they are against Medicare, the VA, and USDA commodity supports (among many other socialist policies in the US)?
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

So sad that it has come to this (and so quickly), but it has. CDC used to be my go-to for accurate and true information. I'm using Health Canada more often.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Chiropractors are now considered more professional than nurses by the Department of Education? All I know is I've never dissected a patient's vertebral artery or sold overpriced wellness supplements that do absolutely nothing except make your pee smell bad
