🧪🧱🧠The Trump administration is gutting science and shredding public trust.
From fluoride bans to FDA walkouts, and from deporting political dissidents to handing military powers broad new turf, the message is clear: facts are optional, and control is the point. Public health is being politicized. Dissent is punished. Systems are collapsing on purpose.
