What the fuck
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

It would be a shame if Trump found out about this. He’ll be furious.
Uh oh. Donald Trump’s inauguration had 24.6 million viewers on average. That’s 27% fewer than the 33.8 million who watched Joe Biden’s in 2020.

Sorry, but I reject the premise. As a Musk biographer I refuse to adopt the fraudulent submission—even as a rhetorical exercise—that Musk has any interest in cutting waste.

His goal is power, influence, media coverage, and most of all vengeance—he wants to hurt his regulators and so-called wokeism.
Will the TWO heads of the NEW "Department of Government Efficiency" take a critical look at the department that has failed spending audits for the last 6 years?

(Spoiler: It's the Pentagon.)
If Elon Musk really wants to cut government waste, he can start here
The Pentagon is Exhibit A for bloated inefficiency and unexplained expenditures.

Republicans' plan: Tax handouts for their ultra rich donors. Kneecap working families by gutting Medicaid and food programs.
President-elect Donald Trump’s economic advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.

This election result isn't about Dem messaging.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz formed a balanced ticket filled with character, intellect, and genuine love for this country, and they delivered their vision beautifully and eloquently.

Did you know there’s a National Maternal Health Hotline that’s free, confidential, and available 24/7 in English or Spanish? Just call 1-833-TLC-MAMA.

We need to do more to support maternal and infant health, so I’m proud to have supported the law that made it possible.
