Update: I didn’t realize the updating the thumbnail overwrote the link to the article.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed federal health agencies to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing a dozen current and former officials and sources.

Fucking WHY
So they can ensure they’re only parroting the party’s lines when they do resume communications.
Is that a real question?
It’s textbook behaviour for dictators: Control all the information.
To suppress the soon-to-be outbreak if bird flu
Remember covid? Numbers go up = bad. No numbers = no bad.
He operates on optics and not reality. As long as the spin is good, he doesn’t care if the thing happening is actually good or bad. If everyone died on earth except him he would think it was a great thing he didn’t die and not oh no everyone died.
Drumpf’s “reality” and scientific reality tend to clash on a number of things
He’s listening to RFK
If the admin wants whistleblowers, we should probably give them whistleblowers.
If you work for a health org and your manager tries to pull some fash shit. Blow the whistle. If you see that there is waste with un-administered or destroyed vaccines. Blow the whistle.
That’s a .gov address for an office that will be administered by Trump officials. That will get you shit canned immediately.
Don’t report it to the corrupt assholes committing the corruption. Go to the press.
There are whistleblower protections. There will be a requirement to bring this to court for the public to see it. If you’re getting fired already due to DEI. I don’t see why not. There is going to have to be pushback to these policies.
Go to the press.

In an administration run by a man who has stated he wants to be a dictator, we shouldn’t assume the rule of law will hold any force, including whistleblower protections.
That’s why you also leak to the press.

That was by accident. I thought it kept the link when I added the thumbnail.
Thanks for adding it back in :)
Lmfao they’re gonna fuckin kill us all
Hope we see some mass civil disobedience. Feels like it would be the patriotic thing to do.
We won’t hear about it because he’ll control the media with the fear of shutting them down if they don’t publish only what he wants to be heard.
Brilliant.
