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.

Lol hey guys I'm stuck in the past and still mad the the democrats put up the worst candidate in history and lost even though I voted for her. I'm going to cling to the idea that if people who didn't believe in her voted for her we would be in a better place even though she was humiliated on a national stage. Because I voted for her. That's why she would be better.

Where is she now, this champion of the people?

Exactly.

Wait, you think letting houses burn down is “championing”?

Where the fuck do you live? I want nothing to do with it.
