    Jim Jones, head of the food division at the Food and Drug Administration, has resigned, according to a source familiar with the matter. The division is tasked with ensuring that the country's food supply is safe, overseeing inspections and recalls.

    Jones' resignation comes after the Trump administration last week cut thousands of federal workers, including some who worked at the FDA. The source didn’t provide a reason for Jones' resignation.

    The resignation was reported earlier by Bloomberg News.

    In an interview with Stat News later Tuesday confirming his resignation, Jones said the firing of 89 people in the food division effectively dismantled the group.

    “I’m not sure if it’s a lack of understanding of how things get done, or it’s that there’s really no seriousness about what they want to get done,” he told Stat. “I don’t know. But I didn’t want to spend the next six months of my career on activities that are fundamentally about dismantling an organization, as opposed to working on the stated agenda.”

    It’s unclear whether Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was sworn in Thursday, has an immediate replacement for Jones. Kennedy met with HHS staff Tuesday morning as part of a welcome ceremony, according to a second source.

    link to article found within.

    White students in rural Pennsylvania created a group called the “Kool Kids Klub” (KKK), wore Confederate flag clothing, and told a Black student to “go pick cotton.” The US Department of Education investigated the Norwin School District for failing to protect Black students, but now Trump has halted civil rights investigations at the department.

    US IRS expected to fire 6,700 employees on Thursday in Trump downsizing spree - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-irs-expected-fire-6700-employees-thursday-trump-downsizing-spree-2025-02-20/
    Fuck it, why file?
    Personally, I'd like my refund.
    Good luck with that. The amount of time it takes to receive it might correlate with who you voted/vote for. Choose wisely.
    People are getting their refunds already. I get weekly reporting on it. The volume is just starting to pick up. 
    What do you think happens when 6000+ employees get terminated this week? Do you expect the volume to continue to pick up?
    You did see the part of the article that says:


    The IRS will retain several thousand employees deemed critical for processing tax returns, including those involved in supporting and advocating for taxpayers, one source said.


    This weekend we rock Portland
