Why are they even worried about passing cabinet members when there won’t be a government left to run? Seriously, like what’s the point? To keep up a facade that they actually care about the people or the future of our country?

CDC's “disease detective" fellows are the first boots on the ground during outbreak responses. They bring a wide range of expertise. They are now threatened with termination. Removing our fellows makes us less efficient at responding to health threats and blocks a major CDC talent pipeline.

The hardest part about public health is that when we succeed, there's no crisis, no epidemic. People carry on with daily life, unaware of a near-miss. We may never know how bad it could have been - because our public health workforce is always taking action to avoid, prevent, and control threats.

(a) is a demand that government and political figures follow the law. (b) is an abandonment of liberal democracy
