Man this really feels like an any% speedrun of how to destroy total confidence in this administration.

Indistinguishable from an attack. I've said that all along.
The actions of the Trump administration -- and of those who voted for him -- are indistinguishable from a deliberate enemy attack. We're living in the world of the classic Pogo cartoon: we have met the enemy, and he is literally us.
No outside forces were needed this time around. No Dust Bowls, no Chicxulub meteors, no phantom Communist menaces, no Pearl Harbors, no 9/11s. Just Fox News, pretty much.

This seems on brand for this administration. What an embarrassment.

We're not supposed to editorialize the headlines here. "Trump nominates Dr Casey Means, influencer close to RFK Jr, for surgeon general"
> Means graduated from Stanford University and its School of Medicine, according to her website.[15] She dropped out of her surgical residency at Oregon Health and Science University on her 30th birthday, having become disillusioned with healthcare in the United States.[16][17][18] During her studies, she supported research at New York University and OHSU.[19]
> Means co-authored Good Energy, an alternative medicine book, with her brother, Calley. The book, falsely and without evidence, suggests that numerous disorders (such as "leaky gut",[5] chronic fatigue syndrome,[6] depression, erectile dysfunction, cancer and Alzheimer's) are caused by a single source which she calls "Bad Energy".[7] The book had received extensive criticism from mainstream medical establishment, and has been characterised as pseudoscience and quackery.[2][8]

What could possibly go wrong?
