A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

No effort is too small. Call your representatives, write them, go to their offices, boycott whatever you like. Because if we all do something, it's death by 1000 cuts. We only lose, if we give up. And that's what they're counting on.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

It’s obvious, but I’ll say it anyway. The massive purge of government employees—who are loyal to their jobs and their mission and their craft—is to replace them with people who are loyal to DJT only. That’s it. Loyalty and obedience over skill and competence. At our cost. All of us.

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.

Trump is good for the quiet parts out loud. Saying that DOGE needs to check Ft. Knox to “make sure the gold is ‘still’ there” and adding “If the gold ISN’T there,” people are going to be upset, gave away the game. Planting seeds that Ft. Knox could be empty. The heist is underway. Bet that…
