The CDC reduced its surveillance for cyclospora last year. Something to think about while you're on the toilet www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
washingtonpost.com
How much did CDC cuts really impact this cyclosporiasis outbreak?
The cuts would have little effect on the current situation, a former agency official said, but do constrain CDC's ability to track longer-term disease trends and risks.

A friend of mine volunteered with an Episcopal ministry that helped merchant marine sailors when they docked in Seattle, with shopping, phone calls and rides. Her talk about it was eye opening: these people live dangerous, underpaid, hard lives and Donald Trump just made 20,000 of them miserable

Corrupt immoral pendejo Marco Rubio says that being born in the United States doesn’t make you an automatic American citizen. Since both of his Cuban immigrant parents weren’t US citizens when he was born, he should be deported to Cuba as per his own hateful logic.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Nancy Mace is a despicable, broken human being. She’s the only survivor of sexual abuse I know that does everything she can to capitalize from it. I feel, in doing this, she demeans the trauma and those of us who have experienced it. She needs intense therapy.

Lutnick is in Trump's cabinet so I am not sure Mace understands that trying to make Clinton look bad for knowing Lutnick is the win she thinks it is. Mace needs to be asking Trump how much money he actually got from Epstein via Lutnick, not if Lutnick was asking for it for Clinton. Mace is unfit.
