The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

DOGE’s Millions: As Musk and Trump Gut Government, Their Ax-Cutting Agency Gets Cash Infusion The Department of Government Efficiency is funded — and acts — like a federal agency. But the White House has shielded DOGE from the rules that govern such agencies, ProPublica found as it examines…

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public.

If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

State Dept. Plans $400 Million Purchase of Armored Tesla Cybertrucks The department plans to buy armored Tesla vehicles. Elon Musk, who is leading efforts to cut government spending, has won more than $13 billion in government contracts in the past five years.

Oh I see, Department Of Giving Elon.😒 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

The Government’s Computing Experts Say They Are Terrified Four IT professionals lay out just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government could be.

This morning, we reported that government IT officials considered DOGE’s efforts “the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history.”

Also this morning, the Treasury put Musk’s DOGE ally in charge of its payment systems: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Beware riders. @asklyft.bsky.social drivers can just arbitrarily charge you for cleaning fees. I was charged $80 for damage fee "from my suitcase"! I didn't have luggage with me. 😠 Lyft drivers are scamming riders this way.

It’s time for the percolator.
