The former chief tobacco regulator Brian King prioritized reducing teen vaping during his time with the FDA. I respect that.

The Trump administration has fired him - the very person that brought teen vaping down to under 6% in 2024.

This administration is ready to feed your kids to the wolves.

DOGE fired all experts at FDA Centers for Veterinary Medicine & Food Safety (196 people) & FDA Center for devices (240 people). Also halted newsletters, unless screened for the “right political message. Grow your food, treat your animals with imported drugs & potions, & get all your parts & plates

This is a reckless move. Public servants at HHS work to improve our public health and undertake critical research.  All these firings undermine years of hard work spent building our public health system and ultimately it will make Americans less healthy.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is being decimated right now. Mass layoffs happening across agencies (NIH, FDA, CDC etc).

Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email.

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect.

Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Today is chaos. So many agencies are breaking down across the board from FDA to CDC to VA. Swaths of SSA are down.
The American government is being hacked by the American government. Medical research, medicines, & social security accessibility are all questionable.
It's only Tuesday.

Remember two months ago when another Starship rocket blew up and the FAA had to shut down air traffic in the area because of falling debris? That again.
🚨 BREAKING: Another one of Elon Musk’s taxpayer-funded Starship rockets just exploded—AGAIN.

How many billions are we wasting on this failure factory?

Everything Musk touches blows up, catches fire, or crashes—including the Trump Administration.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
