Current administration doing absolutely everything they can to destroy confidence in federal government. All of this so tho oligarchs can get their tax cuts and pave the way for a fully privatized nation.

> to destroy confidence in federal government not only domestic unfortunately. For 3 years Russian trolls were posting everywhere that US will abandon Ukraine like it happened with Afghanistan and Iraq, and today Trump stopped all the military aid to Ukraine, even the stuff that was already in Poland moving toward the Ukrainian border.

Is Trump even allowed to do that? Didn't he get impeached for basically the same thing in his last term?

For those wondering why this exists: many of the pages that were formerly listed on the CDC website have been disappearing, likely in response to recent executive orders, though this has not been made explicit. As an example, I checked the Women's Health page and noticed a lot of removals -- the pages on menstrual health and hygiene ([1] vs [2]), or the page summarizing health disease statistics in women ([3] vs [4])…

Good, this is dragging us back to the stone ages.

Were I rich, I would buy a new tld (.usgov?) where we can recreate all the stuff being destroyed.

Idk what you’re talking about but you can’t in good faith say _anything_ about this presidency is comparable to any other US presidency ever. You’re disingenuous, a troll, AI, or all of the above.

So just to confirm: you think this is a bad thing.

Ok. I'll count on you to push back on the President if this indeed turns out to be what he wants.

Impeached but not convicted. Like getting convicted and receiving zero sentence: it has no consequences and therefore might as well not have happened.

ICANN would likely not grant such a tld due to similarity concerns with .us/.gov.

You can do the same thing without a tld of course: .pubmirror.com (or whatever you want to use) is just about as easy despite an extra dot. My personal fqdn is even shorter than ".usgov"! The hard part is recreating/mirroring all the stuff.

The blanket removal of all pages in the women's health category is certainly an interesting choice. I guess the next step after denying that there may be more than two genders is to ... deny that there's more than one? Or that gender exists at all? Equality at last! (for reference: https://www.cdc.gov/womens-health/mhh-continuing-education/i... )

https://analytics.usa.gov/center-disease-control "Top pages data over the previous calendar year is unavailable." looks like they don't want these sorts of questions answered either.
