At the Commencement for students graduating from University of Maryland School of Law I spent some time talking with law graduates about the significance of the oath they will take when they are admitted to the bar, and its importance to upholding the rule of law. Especially now.

I have been reporting on the mass firings at HHS for several weeks now. If you received a RIF notice today you can reach out to help with my reporting for @motherjones.com about what's going on inside the agency: jmcshane.19 on Signal. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

These HHS RIFs are reckless and cruel. In a typical RIF, employees aren’t locked out immediately—they stay to wrap up work and ensure a smooth transition. Instead, this admin abruptly shut everyone out, creating chaos that harms both workers and the people they serve.

They want to have it both ways. Any other human attempts this in an office or in a hearing and they’re fired, arrested or both. For these guys it’s apparently just another week at the office. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This story mentions the role of "public health officials" but in my opinion every story about measles should also include the following: -The Trump administration fired 6% of CDC employees last month. -The head of HHS is directly responsible for propaganda discouraging vaccination.
