Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Gee, it’s almost like the monster he created is out of control.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Good!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Disgraceful.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

But if you want to control the purse you’d do just what they are doing. I miss the olden days…all 6 weeks ago of it.

BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul will meet with NYC leaders on Tuesday to discuss a “path forward” that may lead to Mayor Eric Adams’ removal from office. Hochul is the sole official in the state of New York that has the power to boot Adams from his post. New York City Public…

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

I loved this!

The snow has been relentless here. Winds, ice, snow. But it feels really calm and protective. Hope everyone else is staying warm and safe!

ATTN HHS EMPLOYEES: Firing notices are going out. I am in receipt of an email saying they will revoke your access as soon as you read the email that you've been fired.

Spot on.

Do Americans want safe food? Which Departments are responsible for food safety? USDA HHS -> FDA and CDC Commerce -> NOAA (fisheries) If one Department is disabled, we don’t have safe food Enjoy your dinner 🍲

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

I agree. I’m not a football fan but my husband is so I watched. I enjoyed last night, even though I like Mahomes.

Anyone get a Cirkul?

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Liberty Bell is ringing ya’ll!! 🦅🦅🦅

Ron Howard FTW 🎯
