Earlier this year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced massive cuts to federal health agencies.
The Trump administration has refused to say how many workers have been lost so far. But a new ProPublica analysis gives a detailed view.

Stupid is as stupid does. There’s no getting through to them. Suckers.
From Letter From An American. Or is that an anecdote or opinion? Oh, and ask AI what percentage of a tax cut those are in the example given. You know, for shits and giggles. And don’t forget your fauxrage for Ilhan Omar and her husband.
The administration officials told the congress members, who have been hearing from constituents angry about the law’s deep spending cuts, that they should be pushing the idea that the law helps “working families.” Vice President J.D. Vance tried this last week in Wisconsin, and this afternoon, House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) appeared to take that advice out for a spin, publicly referring to the law the same way Vance did: as the “working families tax cut act.”
The nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes that under the law, a family earning less than $50,000 a year would get less than $300 in tax cuts in 2027 while losing access to Medicaid and food assistance, while a filer earning more than $1 million would receive about $90,000 in tax breaks. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the 10% of Americans at the bottom of the economy will lose about $1,200 a year.
Trump’s policies are working well for his family, though. Angus Berwick of the Wall Street Journal reported that the Monday launch of their WLFI cryptocurrency netted them about $5 billion on paper. Today Eric Trump launched American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency mining company; Kyle Khan-Mullins and Dan Alexander of Forbes reported today that he is now worth at least $3.2 billion.

Suckers. And all for, “it could be this. It could be that. I think I saw a yellow cat.” But hey! Dems need to revive the coal industry!
Trump vowed to halve electricity prices. But they’re rising twice as fast as inflation
New York —On the campaign trail last summer, President Donald Trump promised to swiftly cut electricity and energy prices in half if voters returned him to the White House.
“We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months, maximum of 18 months,” Trump said during a campaign rally in battleground North Carolina. “You will never have had energy so low as you will under a certain gentleman known as Donald J. Trump.”
Although gasoline prices have been low during the first year of Trump’s second term, electricity costs are rising uncomfortably fast for a variety of factors, including the insatiable power needs of massive data centers that serve as the backbone of the artificial intelligence boom.
As of the end of July, electricity prices had surged 5.5% over the prior 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s just over twice the pace of overall inflation, which remains elevated despite Trump’s promises to make prices tumble.
Power bills are causing sticker shock in some corners of the nation, adding to lingering frustration over the cost of living.
Residential electricity prices spiked by much more than the national average in Maine (26%), New Jersey (25%), Wyoming (15%), Utah (15%) and Illinois (14%) as of June, according to the US Energy Information Administration, the analysis arm of the Energy Department.
‘It’s stressful!’
Average residential power prices have fallen in only a handful of states: North Carolina (-1%), Rhode Island (-1%), Idaho (-1%), Hawaii (-4%) and Nevada (-26%).
About one in six US households were behind on their energy bills as of March, according to estimates from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. Americans were collectively sitting on about $24 billion in outstanding utility debt.
“Joe Biden’s Green New Scam agenda crushed America’s energy industry with stifling regulations, causing electricity prices to soar by more than 30 percent in just four years,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to CNN. “Beginning on Day One, President Trump began rolling back these policies and unleashed American energy to lower costs for families and businesses.”
Analysts blame the power price hikes on a range of factors joining forces to push up costs.
“Unusually fast electricity prices are due to a perfect storm involving all market drivers: fast growing demand, supply constraints and infrastructure costs,” said Bob McNally, president of consulting firm Rapidan Energy Group and a former energy adviser to President George W. Bush.

My last 2 Bills that I got I thought I would never see in the home I live in now (I downsized over 4 years ago). I've had my Thermostat at 76 all Summer. I guess I should've set it at 80 or just shut it off and sweat my ass off. At this Rate I may have to (shut it down) next Summer. Good thing Summer is about to end.
