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.

Democracy disnae die with a bang, it dies when we let liars away with it. One broken promise at a time. One ‘oops, we misspoke’ at a time. Nah! Call them out, boot them out, and remind them they work for us—not the other way round. Keep them honest, Scotland is ours, not theirs! 🔥 #YouYesYet

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Guess how much $ Elon saved taxpayers when he fired hundreds of employees from agencies like FDIC, CFPB, and OCC? $0.00 Because these agencies are INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED. Their operations require ZERO tax dollars. But dismantling regulators will cost taxpayers. Fewer protections when you lose $.

Does anyone who's said anything about probationary federal civilian employees actually know that it means to be a probationary employee? Because I think a lot of people don't actually know what it means, and are conflating the term.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
