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.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Trump’s Economy: Tax Cuts for the Rich, Inflation for Everyone Else I agree with Stiglitz & Krugman—Trump’s policies are a disaster. Tariffs raise prices, tax cuts funnel wealth to the top, and spending cuts make the U.S. “scary to invest.” Inflation is up 3% since he won—this is just the start.

It’s going to be quite a hearing before Judge Ho tomorrow on the DOJ‘s motion to dismiss the atom’s case. When the judge asks Ed Sullivan, who stepped up and agreed to sign the motion, why he did so, you can bet that he’s going to tell the truth and cite Bove’s strong arming. No reason to lie.

DOGE is attacking federal agencies that protect millions of Americans from financial predators, infectious diseases, natural disasters, and air crashes. Once again: this has nothing to do with making the government "efficient" — and everything to do with who it works for.

I don’t shop where I’m not welcome. You’ve already been replaced.
