FDA scientists have been instructed to avoid using words like "woman," "disabled," and "elderly" in external communications, per a leaked list circulating within the agency.

The directive, reportedly linked to Trump’s executive order against "gender ideology," has caused confusion and concern.

The White House denies most words are banned but confirms restrictions on terms related to gender and diversity.

Scientists fear these limits will hinder medical research and public health efforts.

An idiot fills the room with words.

I will continue to say "perfect must not be the enemy of good".

These asshats wanted perfect without understanding the complexity behind getting perfect. Good change does not happen overnight. It happens slowly over multiple smaller good changes.

Good luck with that incremental change. It lost 2 of the last 3 elections and seems to not mind losing after crying about facsism.

Incremental change is happening whether you like it or not. History has shown the world is moving in a direction you don't like whether you like it or not. Things like interracial marriage aren't going anywhere regardless of how much your bigoted ass winges about it.

You are right except they are changing in ways we both don't like and you are stuck on identity politics instead of realizing who the real enemies are. They are the people who tell you "Nothing is going to fundmentally change."

Look at what the MAGA idiots were able to accomplish because they were promised wholesale change. They are blowing up the government for fun.

Why didn't the democrats ever do something like the republicans are doing now except instead of screwing people help people?

Biden on day one should have signed Universal Healthcare into executive order and signed a new one every day until the people got healthcare. Take it to court like Trump is so eager to do for anything. They don't fight for you.

They say your life depends on you voting for them and then when they lose they do nothing.

Also I think you should research the word bigot because I'm not sure you really know what it means.
