As we all know by now, the #ConvictedFelon and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are supposed to be finding waste and excess in government agencies. It is not doing that. Instead, Musk, with encouragement from the #ConvictedFelon, is trying to destroy the agencies investigating his Tesla and SpaceX companies.
Trump, Musk, and the totally unqualified Cabinet members are also quickly initiating policies that are putting our health and safety at serious risk.
The most embarrassing member of the Kennedy family is threatening to eliminate mandatory vaccinations, including for school children, even as outbreaks of measles are escalating among unvaccinated people in several states.
The illegal DOGE has all but eliminated services for our veterans, including VA hospitals nationwide and the hotline for veterans having mental health troubles.
The Republicans in Congress are trying to eliminate Medicaid for low-income Americans, and most hospitals in rural areas are already closed.
Starting April 1, Medicare and Medicaid will no longer reimburse doctors for Telehealth appointments, making it much harder for the elderly and infirm to get the care they need.
The 200,000+ (and growing) Federal employees that DOGE has illegally fired most probably lost their government-funded health insurance.
Almost all of the medical professionals at Indian Reservation Health Centers have been fired.
Almost all of the medical and scientific research at universities, hospitals, the Centers for Disease Control, and other similar facilities have been defunded, including for cancer, Alzheimer’s, Aids, COVID-19, and infectious diseases of all kinds.
Musk intends to fire all air traffic controllers and TSA and replace them with SpaceX and Starlink private contractors.
The illegal DOGE fired all of the nuclear experts before saying, “Oops! We need them!” However, finding those people is almost impossible because the firing included deleting all contact information and email addresses. So, who is ensuring that we won’t suffer a Chernobyl-like nuclear emergency?
The illegal DOGE is also putting agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration on the chopping block, endangering the food supply for all of us.
President Biden capped the prices of many medications, including insulin and asthma inhalers, to $35/month. Trump raised the prices back up to over $200+/month. There have already been notices of people dying because they cannot afford those life-saving medicines.
The FBI, whose job it is to monitor and protect us from terrorists, foreign and domestic, is now led by two totally unqualified Trump loyalists who believe their main job is to go after Trump’s “enemies.”
Trump has destroyed all of our North American and European alliances, including NATO and the intelligence-sharing agencies, leaving the United States vulnerable to covert and overt attacks, and our former allies will no longer assist us in future times of need.
Trump wants to eliminate FEMA, leaving it to the States to attempt to help residents after natural disasters such as floods, tornados, hurricanes, and wildfires. Ironically, the red states are the least able to respond, and because of Trump, the former interstate assistance that FEMA provided (firefighters, medical personnel, electricians, etc. from various states) will no longer be available.
At this time, the best things you can do include ensuring that your vaccinations, and those of your family members, are up to date, stocking up on medications you know you’ll need in the near future, and planning for the care of the elderly people you know and love. Undocumented immigrants make up a large proportion of caregivers for the sick and elderly, and they are being rounded up and deported.
The millions of MAGA Trump supporters have already F*ed Around by voting for the #FOTUS (Felon of the United States). Now, they are in the FO (Finding Out) season, and after they realize that Trump isn’t going to save them, he is letting them know he can care less about them now. They are of no more use to him.
Unfortunately, the rest of us are also suffering.
We have to continue to fight and continue to resist.

An excellent, succinct summary of the chaos so far. Thank you, Pamela.
Among other things, this administration is enacting a eugenics project. It's baked into Prokect 2025 and is parcel to white-supremecist-capitalist-patriarchy. Same as it ever was.
