In 2011, the Daily Show aired a segment about the National Bullsh*t Ceiling. "If we reach the point where the amount of bullsh*t exceeds the amount of actual things, we will effectively default on reality. It's already started happening." I think about this segment often.

The weather forecasts you see on TV or the severe storm alerts you get from your apps are powered by a federal science agency that’s in line for some of the most drastic cuts proposed by the Trump administration so far.

A rule of thumb that I use for consuming social media posts is if I am completely disgusted or enraged by a post then that is when I need to fact check it.
(There are a lot of enraging things going on at the moment, so I admit this can be a challenge.)

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.
