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.

This morning, @votersoftomorrow.org called for Gov. Hochul to remove Eric Adams as mayor of New York City. Adams is corrupt and compromised. He traded immunity from the law for betraying his constituents. He is not fit to be mayor.

The newly created vacancies in the DOJ and at the FBI will be quickly filed by people who will no longer simply look the other way but will be eager to help Musk accomplish his goals. The threat to those trying to resist these efforts or hold them accountable will grow over time.

The Trump regime is not the legitimate government of the US; Musk is not an elected official. This is a coup d'état enabled by inaction and secret (not so secret) interests (corruption) among the officials entrusted to protect the country. When all levels of protection fail, there is only you left.

What is considered “conservative” these days is pretty elastic, which is exactly the opposite of how conservatism has always been defined. Conservatism in the Trump era is not based on a set of principles, ideas or policies. It is a dead movement replaced by right-wing populism.

Yesterday I did a rewrite on a blog post for an eye care tech company. I pulled the CDC and NIH links in the original, replaced them with research journals and non-profit health orgs. US gov data is no longer the gold standard - or even consistently available. How far we have fallen, and how fast.
