The heartbreak. Trump claims USAID is bankrupting America—it’s less than 1% of the budget. Meanwhile, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is gutting the largest food aid provider. He could end world hunger & still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Not just greed. We’re watching evil at work.

From inside NIH -- earlier today apparently staff received guidance from HHS that they should in fact respond to the inane five bullets email, but then NIH leadership told them not to, and then hours later HHS leadership told them they'll let everyone know by noon on Monday. Things are going great.

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.
