When @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social writes “the world is worried” about Trump’s tariffs and other economic moves, he’s not speculating.
“Trump Just Bet the Farm” is the headline on a @nytopinion.nytimes.com column late Thursday afternoon that has this haunting observation:

Despite GOP and media framing, $880 billion is not a "cut" to the Medicaid budget.
The total expenditures for Medicaid as of 2023, the last year for which figures are available was $880 billion dollars. This is the wholesale elimination of funding for Medicaid.

Do Americans want safe food?
Which Departments are responsible for food safety?
USDA
HHS -> FDA and CDC
Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries)
If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food

In 1985 in Africa 25 vaxxed children were compared with 25 unvaxxed for 5 years.
In the vaxxed group one got mild measles while 4 had suspected whooping cough.
Among the unvaxxed 11 got measles leading to 2 deaths & an unvaxxed child died of tetanus.
This is why we don't do these studies anymore.

Los Angeles COUNTY alone pays more in Federal taxes than all but 4 US states.
So maybe Congresscritters from places like Grand Wizard Junction, Alabama and Fentanyl Heights, Ohio should shut the fuck up.
