We agree, @robhuebel — seems Dems should be talking about this: “State Dept denied Trump intervened on Alexandrovich’s behalf, but that appears implausible. Trump, Israel, pedophilia, corruption… a gift unicorn grazing in Dems’ backyard — And yet?” zeteo.com/p/why-arent-...

DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
