They Worked to Prevent Death -- Trump Admin Fired Them

Monday, February 24, 2025

Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind.

Arielle Kane was hired to work on a program at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid that was trying to reduce maternal deaths. Last weekend, she was let go. "This model that has a lot of potential is just being gutted. What does that mean for all of the potential impacts we could have had?"

FTA: "We are hollowing out our government in a way that is going to hurt people and is going to get people killed."

Pro-life my ass. All of you who voted for Trump, I hope you're happy now.

Thanks, Trumpers!

Hope it's not you or your loved ones who suffer from this totally unnecessary to accomplish the goal FUBAR by your heroes.

Just like conservatives who n North Korea are sure they're living the best life possible thanks to the Kim dynasty.

Alarm as bird flu now endemic in cows while Trump cuts staff and funding

Dotard's mass graves are right around the corner.

Sometimes I wonder if morons like Herman Cain have one moment of clarity when they realize they are dying when they ask themselves why they rejected science? Do they wonder if they might be able to enjoy mant more years of life if they weren't pig headed assh***s?

Such a strange and pointless act, firing people who are trying to keep us healthy. I get that MAGA is sadistic, but many of these cuts are going to hurt everyone, including the ones doing the cutting.

I'm not just happy. I'm ecstatic. Never imagined an administration could get rid of so much waste and in less than a month!

Never more irony than some fascist fired IRS agent complaining that the layoffs are destroying lives. Meanwhile destroying lives is all the IRS does

Must be the ketamine.

Tell me you're stupid without actually saying it.

"I'm not just happy. I'm ecstatic"

Followed by a slight tingling sensation?
Expect some weakening of the knees.
And lightheadedness.

They Worked to Prevent Death -- Trump Admin Fired Them

That helps expose Trump's concern about all of the soldiers being killed in the Ukraine/Russian war for the lie that it is. If Trump was so concerned about suffering, death and dying, why isn't he concerned about the workers that help prevent suffering, death and dying? Why is he denying support for USAID and other foreign aid programs that help prevent suffering, death and dying?

Trump constantly reveals himself to be a lying POS!!!
