Jim Jones, head of the FDA’s food division resigned in protest of the Trump Administration’s mass firings.

Jones reportedly resigned on Monday after the Trump Administration fired thousands of employees in the HHS.

“I was looking forward to working to pursue the department’s agenda of improving the health of Americans by reducing diet-related chronic disease and risks from chemicals in food,” Jones said in his resignation letter, according to Bloomberg News.

Jones said that because of the mass firings it would be “fruitless for me to continue in this role.”

Yeah, like maybe RFKJ would figure out that he’s been at FDA for however many years and hasn’t done squat to do any of that stuff?

"Resigns in protest" - oh, how cute.

They know DOGE is going to find all kinds of kickbacks.

Jones stepped in to lead the FDA’s food division in 2023, after three decades at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Needs to spend time at home with his family.....

In his current position since -- wait for it -- September 24, 2023. During that wacky Binden-Harris administration.

How many years has he had to improve the health of Americans? NOW he was looking forward to improving their health.

These bureaucrats spent decades presiding over the rise of the problems they claim to be concerned about. And then start fighting fanatically when someone actually does look serious about taking action. Tells me what I need to know.

Do they think that resigning somehow absolves them from previous responsibility and future accountability?

Hopefully they’re in for a rude awakening...

“I was looking forward to working to pursue the department’s agenda of improving the health of Americans by reducing diet-related chronic disease and risks from chemicals in food,”

He is lying, lets put that through the liberal political translation app.

“I do not see any way now with all my woke employees fired to effectively thwart the will of the people which Trump is implementing.”

I got an even belter idea.

JUST NUKE BOTH UNCONSTITUTIONAL FDA AND HHS.

Save us $ trillions and illegal, stupid, wasteful, and deadly regulations.

Easy to retire when you eligible to do so. He spent 30 years at the EPA before moving over to the FDA from what I can tell..
