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.

I know no one cares but for some reason I feel like saying that I liked the Kendrick Lamar halftime show—instantly, unreservedly—and was totally mystified when I went online and found out that many didn't like it Serious question: did my fellow Blueskies not like it also? Split opinion? Share mine?

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Amazon 2024 annual revenue? Approx. $637.96 billion, a 10.99% increase from the previous year. With that kind of revenue, Amazon can afford to pay its workforce a living wage and provide decent working conditions. Guess the boss might need yet another luxury yacht.
