Hey, kids, it looks like the flu and other diseases are rising throughout the U.S. I think it should be named the Trump Flu. Could become part of the worst epidemic in history, cuz Trump is trying to shut down healthcare systems because of Woke! DEI! Democrats. Shooting the nation in the foot as he does, of course.
Without doing intense searching, we’re talking Texas, Iowa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Dakota, Missouri, and Kentucky.

Bonus update: Federal employees report that Musk aides have taken over the OPM personnel database and computer systems.
Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say
Doing the same with the Treasury pay systems. Looks like Musk is going to raid that data and enshittify that system. Suggested new word: Musktrash. It’s almost like enshittification but it’s done in the name of wanton greed and right-wing ideology.
Yes, it is a billionaire oligarchy takeover of the government. Too many fools voted for that Trump. Now Musk is moving in to make a grab on Trump’s behalf.
What can go wrong? Well, I’m sure we’ll see more FAFO stories emerging fast next week after more ICE raids, more executive orders, more flu news, higher inflation as his tariffs land, and another attempt by Trump’s government to cut off funding.

Hi. Michael I think Musk is looking to enrich himself by raiding all the data of the federal work force, then try to take over the pay system to convince tRump to move it private, let X be a new type of government PayPal system for a fee for every transaction, every one or thing paid out through the system. The republican way is to get control of a government service, totally destroy it so people get upset it doesn’t work then move that service to the private sector for companies to make profit. That is why all the corporations are kissing up to tRump and the social media companies are kissing the tRump … ring. It is why Musk wants to be all over every part of government. Hugs

I think the same, Scottie! Why? Because he is just that craven, greedy, and unprincipled. Because he’s willing to destroy to make money. Leading me to think that sooner or later, the GOTP will officially announce their new party slogan, “Let’s fuck everything up and make lots of money.” Hugs, M
