You can thank the Trump admin for your explosive diarrhea. The record-setting cyclospora outbreak hit over 11,000 people across the country. And Trump's cuts to the FDA, CDC, & other health programs helped the outbreak spread rapidly. They failed to protect public health.

Federal judges say they are losing faith in the Justice Department’s trustworthiness, legal scholars say. “Judges simply don't believe the representations that are being made by United States attorneys,” one former federal judge said.

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.
