Summary

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.

Oh sweet summer child. If you think you can do better you're more than able to run for office then maybe you'll pull your head out your ass and realize it's not as simple as you think it all is.

Whatever excuses you have to tell yourself in order to keep voting for democrats go for it because no matter what I say here you will pull out some canned democrat response that they programmed you into believing as to why real change can't happen.

Republicans are carrying out the will of their voters and making it look extremely easy meanwhile while Hakeem Jeffries is going around saying "There's nothing we can do, it's their government."

Hugely inspiring.
