  • Musk’s crew at DOGE—Trump’s weird fake agency—built a secret server to swipe every federal worker’s private deets. Skipped the law? Obviously. No privacy checks, no rules—just a free pass to dig through Social Security numbers, health records, and your cousin’s lame USAJOBS résumé.

    The “talent” running this circus? Some college kid and a teen who probably still texts “XD” unironically. Peak competence. They’re blasting spam emails like it’s 2003, while China’s hackers lick their chops.

    Congress is suddenly shocked? Please. They let this dumpster fire burn until the lawsuits rolled in. Musk calls it “streamlining.” I call it digital kleptocracy with a side of Space Karen vibes.

    If this is “innovation,” humanity’s screwed. Imagine a Bond villain—but instead of lasers, he’s got Excel sheets and your mom’s dental records.

    Stay frosty. The future’s here, and it’s run by rich twits playing Sims: Government Edition.

    🚨 BIG NEWS Y’ALL! 🚨

    Someone just saved ALL the CDC’s public data before it could disappear! 🦅

    What’s the Deal?

    Some mystery hero downloaded everything from the CDC’s website (that’s 98 GIGABYTES of health info!) and uploaded it to the Internet Archive on Jan 28th. Think of it like making a backup copy of your phone before it breaks!

    Why Should You Care?

    • This is YOUR health data - stuff about vaccines, diseases, and public health that your tax dollars paid for! 🏥
    • Once this info is gone from CDC’s website, it could be really hard for your doctor to get important updates
    • Researchers need this to keep studying ways to keep Americans healthy 💪

    What’s Next?

    Smart folks at places like Harvard are making sure this data stays safe by keeping copies. It’s like having multiple backups of your family photos - can’t be too careful!

    Remember folks: Knowledge is power, and someone just made sure we didn’t lose a whole bunch of it! 🎯
