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.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I apparently I activated all of Twitter today by using a measure Elongelicals value but I don’t—IQ—to assess Elon Musk. I assessed his IQ score, based on years of research, as average to above-average (100 to 110) and they went... crazy. Absolutely bonkers. Every Musk stooge and stan weighed in.

You’re watching the plot against America. The dismantling of your powerful military, the wasting of your tax money for billionaire welfare, the implosion of your health care, its anti-America. These people hate our great country and everything it stands for. Don’t sugar coat it!

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.
