How long before Trump and RFK Jr shut down the national milk testing program? Any bets?

Hmmm I thought public communications like this were paused.

Did someone do it anyway? Or did a judge somewhere squelch the gag order?

The less you test the less disease you will find!

"I said to my people, Slow the testing down please,' " the President had said.

I don't know. But there's nothing Donald is doing that makes me hope that he won't kill off another 1.2 Americans.

I am an old man afraid for the future, both of the nation's and mine. I have zero sense that this Executive Branch gives a damn about me or any other low income seniors.

Ignore it and it will go away. Just like COVID.
