Could you keep your job if you made mistakes 20% of the time?

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spoke about cuts to his agency, saying that they "are not affecting science," and that of the personnel that were cut, "20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled" due to "mistakes."

I don't anyone (except Trump cabinet members) could keep their job if they made mistakes 20% of the time.

Trump’s popularity is dropping

It should. He’s terrible.

It took Donald Trump a little more than two months to completely squander any kind of postelection goodwill he had. His approval rating has steadily dipped from 47% to 45% to 43%, according to Gallup…..www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d…

Wow, new AP/NORC poll has Trump deeply underwater on economic and trade issues and even underwater on immigration.

⚡️ 73% of Ukrainians say Trump is bad for Ukraine, poll shows.This is a major spike from December 2024, when only 21% saw Donald Trump as a negative for Ukraine, a recent poll shows.

Trump: "I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years. We're in the high 70s in many polls, in the real polls."That's nonsense. Today's CBS poll finds 40% of Americans strongly disapprove of him; 11% somewhat disapprove; 19% somewhat approve; only 31% strongly approve.

YouGov poll:74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

Some really bad swings on the economy for Trump in the new CBS poll. In January, 42% thought they’d be better off under his policies on the economy. Now just 23% say they are, and 42% say they’re worse off. And almost as many people blame him for inflation now as Biden.

I donated to Democracy Forward because they are suing Trump

I think the Democratic Party isn’t worth donating to until they remove Schumer as minority leader.

I donated to Democracy Forward which has sued Trump. That’s what needs to be done and should be supported.

Note: There are two parts to it for donations

Democracy Forward Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and Democracy Forward, a 501(c)(4) organization. Donations to Democracy Forward are not tax deductible.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration over its use of the wartime law to quickly deport people, which they say violates due process.

This is yet another lawsuit against the Trump admin led by Democracy Forward.“This decision affirms a critical constitutional principle: the President cannot unilaterally shut down an agency created by Congress,” Robin Thurston, the group's legal director, said in a statement.

Last night, Democracy Forward filed a Motion for Emergency Relief in a Maryland Federal court on behalf of unions and retirees vs SSA and DOGE to stop DOGE from accessing sensitive data and determine what DOGE is doing in the SSA #Voices4Victory http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog…

This latest effort to weaponize federal funding will directly harm the health care of millions of Americans.

At Democracy Forward, we’ve successfully taken the admin to court on similar cases, and we plan to use every legal tool to protect the essential care that so many rely on.

Trump has gutted the CDC, FDA and other health agencies

I don’t know how you can ever rebuild them. I assume Trump will be sued but the damage has been done.

It’s incredible how badly they treat people. From a Marisa Kabas post below:

“Some employees found out by security badge being denied. Others got email.”

"The FDA as we've known it is finished."“CDC clobbered. The agency will not be able to function."
