And that’s just for humans, the fda also is tasked with the safety of foods, feeds, medicine, devices for animals.

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.

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.

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.
