We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

Major news: Entire first-year class of the Epidemic Intelligence Service must be out by 5pm, sources say. Also: a major CDC contractor "just let go." Others may follow. This is an attack on our ability to detect outbreaks. More, with quotes from CDC officials: open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Is DOGE currently screwing around with USAjobs.gov? I just got an email for a job I applied for FOUR YEARS ago, that I’ve been referred to the hiring officials for a public health policy analyst for the CDC.

An urgent message from the nation's health journalists:

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

BREAKING: Vital, nationally-representative data has been removed from the CDC website. "Everyone I know in public health and science more broadly is freaking out right now,” @albeccia.bsky.social told me. Read: www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

An employee working for an agency funded by federal grants working in HIV care just told me that their manager said the CDC website is expected to come down "in its entirey" and "to save what they might need." Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources and Services Administration, is already down.

Missouri SB 72 has a hearing at 2pm today. The bill calls for people to become bounty hunters. These bounty hunters will "hunt" undocumented citizens. These tips will be provided by individuals throughout the State of Missouri. Individuals who report and are correct will be paid $1,000.
