We're told the FDA is now making plans to🚨end most of its routine food safety inspections

That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state & local authorities, under this plan.

The FDA is ultimately responsible for the safety of much of the US food supply that's distributed over state lines, like packaged products, seafood, eggs & produce.

Our food, drugs, water, air, money, consumer products... are at risk.

"Musk installed his top Lts at GSA.

GSA oversees many of Uncle Sam’s real estate transactions, collecting & paying rent on behalf of almost every fed agency. It helps manage $Bs in fed contracts. And it assists other agencies in building better websites & digital tools for citizens.

It's so important bc it's “a choke point for all agencies -they can, in effect,🚨 stop all civilian agencies from purchasing, period. That’s everything...”

AP News · Why Elon Musk and DOGE are focusing on the GSABy Byron Tau

Your💰is at risk:

The #CFPB will cut its inspections of FIN services cos. in half while focusing on threats to MIL personnel & turning away from areas like student loans, med debt, digital pymts & consumer data -would focus less on matters where st-level agencies also have jurisdiction & would cut the number of supervisory "events" by🚨50%, sharply reducing the supervision of nonbanks.

It'll "deprioritize" its oversight of digital payments, consumer data...

Is it just me or is it hard to do work right now?

I'm back in the office and our last day to sign the 2.0 offer is today. It's so gloomy because we keep getting emails from colleagues who have been here for 25-30+ years letting us know it is their last week next week. Also, since I'm sure there will be more to come tomorrow, I think I might just take off because I'm getting a migraine just being in this environment.It feels like I'm constantly grieving people (who are still alive), and forced to not acknowledge it. Anyone else feeling this way?

I don't want to spend a lot of time focusing on tabloid-adjacent coverage of what an absolute piece of human dogshit Elon Musk is in his personal life, but in this case I think a recent story about Musk's obsession with creating an army of mini-Elon children, pronatalism, fearmongering about collapsing birthrates in "the West," and attitudes toward children in the developing world goes a long way towards explaining why Apartheid Space Karen is doing the things he's doing in his official capacity as Trump's "chainsaw" guy in the US government.

The Tactics Elon Musk Uses to Manage His ‘Legion’ of Babies—and Their Mothers

"Musk has warned that “civilization is going to crumble” if people don’t start having more children, a view popularized as pronatalism in right-wing circles. The pronatalism movement is composed of people concerned about the birthrate and eager to implement policy and cultural solutions to the problem.

Martin Varsavsky, a friend of Musk’s who founded a large chain of in vitro fertilization clinics in the U.S., said he has spoken with Musk about the risks of falling birthrates.

“Without babies there’s no future, every problem becomes secondary to the problem of not having people on the planet,” said Varsavsky. “Elon believes that a country is not the geography, a country is the people.”

Speaking to an audience at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year, Musk laid out the urgency of the matter. “I think for most countries, they should view the birthrate as the single biggest problem they need to solve. If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter,” Musk told the crowd over a live video.

When the interviewer joked that Musk was doing his part to address the issue, the billionaire agreed. “Yes. I am. I mean, you know, you’ve got to walk the talk. So, I do have a lot of kids, and I encourage others to have lots of kids.”

Separately, Musk has said he is concerned about what he called Third World countries having higher birthrates than the U.S. and Europe, a person familiar with the conversation said.

One of the most important ways to change these dynamics, he has repeatedly told people close to him, is for educated people to have more children."

Look, if you want to read the salacious details about what a domineering, misogynist supervillain freak Musk is to the women he convinces to have his children, I promise not to rat you out; if nothing else it speaks to the core patriarchal, reactionary, delusional sci-fi obsessive values by which the richest man in the world leads his extremely divorced life. Laughing at Musk is so much fun it would be our national sport if we weren't in the middle of a fascist takeover in America.

What interests me however is Musk's open articulation of the white supremacist, eugenicist, "race war" ideology that seemingly influences his decisions. Folks, I've had the misfortune of encountering a fair number of nazis and assorted other kinds of fascists in my life, and I can say without question that the freaks who obsess over racialized birth rates and raw demographics are by far the worst human beings, and some of the most dangerous of these odious shitlords. When a billionaire nazi who grew up under the apartheid system in South Africa starts talking about higher birthrates in "the Third World" and the need for "educated people" to have more babies, it doesn't take a psychic to realize that he's really talking about a perceived fascist need for white people to literally out breed non-white people as part of some implied racialized struggle for "the future of human civilization." He can dress it up with nonsense about going to Mars and preserving "civilization" and the human race, but it's very clear what "civilization" he's hoping to save, and what kind of humans he's hoping to "preserve" here; this is bog standard nazi shit.

All of which brings us to Musk's role as the head of the fascist Department of Government Efficiency and what Elon's beliefs can tell us about his actions in that role. DOGE hasn't touched the imperialist military, the police state, or government subsidies for corporations and the fossil fuel industry. Instead, under Musk's leadership DOGE has targeted global health programs, famine reduction efforts, and now has its eyes set on anything that helps America's poor; who I shouldn't have to remind you, are a segment of society where nonwhite people are overrepresented due to our long history of white supremacist capitalist and theft of generational wealth. Maybe the reason Elon Musk doesn't mind killing poor, mostly brown people is because he's a nazi freak who thinks we're in the middle of a race war to survive the apocalypse? And just maybe, that's news worth reporting to an American public being gutted by his department's "efficiency" cuts as we speak.

"In a court fight over whether DOGE has to comply with public demands for its records under FOIA, DOJ says it's going to immediately appeal..."

ICYMI: A fed judge in DC denied the Trump admin's effort to get a lawsuit tossed out challenging DOGE's access to systems & data at Labor, HHS & CFPB -- "& prepares itself for the twists & turns this case will surely continue to bring."
