“Tumultuous” is one way to put it.
This isn’t normal.
-
-
Good thing Corporate Media kept telling us Biden is old and eggs cost too much. Now we get this big, beautiful insanity in public health.
-
It’s a telling sign. Trump can’t hire strong experienced capable people. Look at the quality of Trump’s cabinet. Watch the smoke blowing going on and realize the US is on a Trump path to disaster.
-
Fake News AGAIN from your shitrag!
-
I just read a statement released by her lawyers that says she hadn’t left or been fired.
-
The new orc times spitting bullshit everyday.
-
NYTimes "Abruptly Departs"
All other media: "being ousted"
-
Since she is legally fighting this, can sue sue the NYT for saying she “abruptly left her job”, a factually inaccurate statement that helps the government she is fighting in court? Because it normalizes/gives power to their illegal firing of her? Genuinely asking.
-
Another public health leader forced out while science and expertise are under attack. These abrupt departures aren’t just personnel changes—they’re signals that the CDC is being gutted at a time when Americans need it most.
-
The Government is becoming less and less relevant and trustworthy. It's really just a money grab for the Greedy and Selfish among us.
-
MD in conflict with Capitan Brainworms over healthcare policy, MD gets fired.
-
The NYT is complicit in this authoritarian take over.

The NYT is complicit in this authoritarian take over.
-
JFC…she has not left her job. You guys suck.
-
Fake news
-
Mmmkay, she took the job under him and oh wow. She has integrity. Truly shocking outlier.
-
She had to go through this whole "doesn't want to do things the way we do here" convo that convinced her she was against all morality and stuff. It frustrates me whenever I think of what conservatives will do to you when you are moving out 💔🐈.
-
This is déjà vu from his last term.
-
Watching top CDC officials resign in protest over RFK policies that “will result in death” should be a wake up call to Congress that all our public health officials can’t all be wrong.
-
Can't blame her.
-
Bill Cassidy could have stopped all this..
-
That’s a tough time.
She probably wants the Epstein files released and so resigned in protest.
-
-
No she hasn't, you fucking liars! Her lawyer has clarified that she hasn't been fired nor has resigned. She won't resign.
-
lol fuck your disingenuous fascismposting
-
FALSE bsky.app/profile/mark...
-
Sad they keep pushing pee out !
-
She says she did not. Maybe The New York Times should talk to Ms. Monarez.
-
inaccurate
-
You wanted this kind of lunacy NYT. Your boost of all things Trump was an abdication of your duty as journalists. Hope you are enjoying the demise of our country.
-
Trump is trying to push her out. She is resisting in order to save lives. She is a HERO.
I will NEVER forgive Trump voters. They voted to destroy this country. They are responsible for this disaster.
-
"included dramatic shifts in vaccine policy and layoffs."
And a mass-shooting inspired by RFK Jr's bullshit.
-
Prompt: Show a pic that shows you have a soul but lost it, but damnit, you're trying to keep yourself respect.
-
She hasn’t departed.
-
No. She’s fighting. From Monarez’s attorneys: bsky.app/profile/mark...
-
Can we have our own CDC in Washington state? Maybe we can hire all these smart people that Jr pushed out.
-
Another interesting framing by the disappointing NY Times
-
Trump must have threatened to sue the NYT again.
-
No she hasn’t. Do your job @nytimes.com. Chrissake.
-
Trump Destroys Everything He Touches
-
-
Should have known an actual doctor wouldn't last long in a Trump admin. Only pill pushers and quacks can go the distance in Crazy Town.
-
This is false.
-
Narrator: She didn’t
-
Probably because her job is to cure disease.. not perpetuate disease, tell Dr’s to stop washing their hands and eat road kill ohh that’s RFK jr’s ‘vision’.. oh his family is their graves are a spinning
-
Must’ve been caught trying to do the right thing. When facts become reason for punishment, you know we’re cooked.
-
I see you're still helping push narratives for the Trump administration.
-
Big surprise, not!
-
She failed after her lackluster response to the CDC mass shooting. You know the one, the one that EVERYONE seems to have forgotten about. The one where 500 shots were fired at CDC scientists. The one where a man was radicalized by anti vaccine hysteria. The one that demoralized the CDC.
-
Was FIRED or told to pack her stuff up and leave. Ousted for trying to keep America safe! For fucking sake stop the sane washing.
-
Departs??? FIRED for not bending the knee fast enough!!
-
Why is it that it’s almost ALWAYS WOMEN who show more, let’s say, intestinal fortitude, than men? What is Congress waiting for to turn on, and turn in the Criminal-in-Chief? A preemptive pardon for all the Epstein file discoveries? Don’t count on it, for Orange S…face needs them to run interference!
-
Again the NY Times gets It wrong
-
Make America great again, let the diseases start rolling in.
-
Her lawyers say otherwise:
-
Goin' Great!!!!!
-
NYT do better!!!! Here's real headline:
"CDC Director forced out of job by legit maniac conspiratorial wing nut nepo baby with a dead brain worm, RFK Jr."
-
If RFKjr’s lawyer wrote this headline would it look any different?
-
This framing by NYT makes it sound like she couldn’t handle a tough job versus what really happened. She took an heroic stand at risk to her own career to fight for human beings over mock science lunatics.
-
All the factually incorrect news that's fit to print, right guys? Slam dunk on licking the bottom of the journalistic barrel. I wish I could cancel my subscription more than once.
-
She washed her hands after using taking a dump and RFK found out.
-
She also refused to support junk “science “ and RFK’s extreme anti science agenda. Her Attorneys issued a letter today. RFK is dangerously unqualified and unwell. His relatives warned us. We see him hear him. He is unhinged
-
It's this type of super accurate reporting that makes @nytimes.com so well respected. Also, its unbiased reporting on politics, especially during the 2024 US presidential election, when they definitely did not simply hand it to trump
This is sarcasm
-
This is really bad news. These departures represent decades of experience by top scientists through several administrations.
-
Her lawyer says she hasn't resigned and also hasn't been fired, so far.
-
No, she hasn't. bsky.app/profile/muel...
-
Who can blame her?!!
-
Don’t know how she could have put up with working with such idiots.
-
-
I’m swing she has NOT left. Is this nyt true reporting?
-
Who writes your headlines? Fire them and all the higher ups and oligarchs.
-
Still no correction or retraction?
-
I have reported this post for misinformation. 🤬 NYT.
-
-
She has repeatedly said she's not resigning. Stop pushing administration propaganda.
-
I thought she refused to leave?
-
another story you guys run w/o making sure it's for real?
b/c she's not leaving. just yet.
but why bother? you've abandoned democracy, rationality, and decency. what's the diff if you mess up another story?
-
"Abruptly departs," my ass. She was removed after refusing to resign, after refusing RFK Jr.'s ridiculous demands on the grounds of, y'know, actual medical science.
And we're going to see more of this, as those with skills and education retreat from fools with conspiracies and lies.
-
No, she did not “depart”, she was terminated. Several others at the top resigned in protest. Check your sources before publishing incorrect information.
-
I think you need to rewrite your article.
-
How tf did we get here?! To think the head of HHS has no medical background and is a total nut job. We are doomed - they are totally destroying our country.
-
Donald Trump and his totally unqualified, worm brained Secretary of HAHS will appoint another anti-science, anti vaccine whack job to Dr. Monarez & the rest of the CDC experts who will be resigning positions.
Mark my words: If we have another pandemic in the next 3 1/2 years this country is fucked!
-
Read her lawyers’ statement
-
I see you’ve corrected your story. Good.
But you have yet to apologize, or to remove this post.
-
-
Her lawyer says otherwise.
Reporting as false information.
-
This is the Project 2025 playbook. An overhaul of US gov't with exec actions to eliminate checks & balances. 50k+ firings, Enact Insurrection Act for domestic military use, impound funds, floods courts with changes and exploite judicial delays for unchecked power. Its all there. They told us!
-
36 minutes ago her lawyers said this isn’t true. Get your shit together NYT. Maybe report real news like concentration camps and a president calling himself a dictator.
-
All reports state she has not resigned nor has she been formally fired. So she and her lawyer are staying put.
-
I’m old enough to remember a song called, “Take This Job And Shove It…I ain’t working here no more.”
-
The government and RFk Jr is Not protecting us!! We need updated COVID vaccines now for fall. Covid is going around again since school started up!
-
what she's saying by this is that america should be very scared
-
-
time for another dead kennedy!?!?!
-
WE NEED TO DEMAND RFK RESIGN NOT THE PEOPLE TRYING MIGHTILY TO KEEP US HEALTHY
-
B'uh Bye!
-
The Trump shit show strikes again. What might we expect when the government is run by a bunch of corrupt clowns. 🤡
-
No she didnt
-
@nytimes.com false.
-
No. She hasn’t left her job. Get your fucking shit straight and quit destroying America.
-
Nyt has access to time travel, this report was for next week i assume, since she is still in her position and hasn't left yet
-
Brain damaged sociopath fires head if CDC because she won't rubber stamp his delusional reports. Fixed it for you. Quit sane washing this bullshit
-
-
She was OUSTED after being pressured to change vaccine policies for ideological reasons not scientific ones
-
NYT addicted to fact free headlines.
-
There are some things politicians should stay out of, science & Healthcare are two.
-
Shame on every media outlet, especially the NYT for their bullshit framing, that reported this without first reaching out to the CDC director to actually find out if it was true

RFK Jr. Launches Bird Flu Bitcoin - Political Americans: Satire for Defending Democracy
RFK announces America First Bird Flu Bitcoins at a Proud Boys rally to offset financial losses due to millions of Americans dying.
-
Bellwether of Trump
-
You guys are awful people and I hope bad things for you.
-
Real headline: CDC director quits because HHS director RFK Jr is an incompetent dipshit destroying the US Healthcare system.
-
Disobey. Defy. Destroy this government.
-
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Once respected, now just another useless click bait machine.
-
Why lie NYT?
-
Well maybe she was smart enough and saw the writing on the wall and wants nothing to do with it because she knows it's horribly wrong what is happening to Americans and the lack of transparency of a lot of things the Epstein files and what is going on behind the scenes regarding our health
-
She did NOT leave! Get the story straight. She was PUSHED out for doing her job. She will win in court due to baseless reasons. Quite sure disagreeing with the Orange Blob & his stooges is NOT a crime. But, let's not hurt the Blob's feelings. Poor little bully!
Whose country is this, folks?
-
Can't have anyone who actually KNOWS the job to run it for Trump. The Trump administration "standards" must be maintained at their current "way-below-par" levels in order to successfully "own the libs".
-
that's how we know she still has conscience
-
Hey #NYT! How about you hire someone that actually does #Journalism?
The #TrumpRegime #FIRE qualified people in exchange for #TrumpLoyalists!
Ex #Junkie #RFK is in charge of #HHS for fuck sake!
-
Get it right. She didn’t “abruptly depart.” That reeks of normalcy. You’re part of the problem.
-
You are spreading lies again
-
Liars. This is not true and the NYTs sucks ass.
-
Her lawyer says she has not resigned and will not
-
Headline: CDC fires head of agency when she doesn't suck RFK Jr anti vax dick...
-
The only ones that stay are the ones that stay to do political work.
-
This should be a smart person. What did they expect?
-
This USA #gouvernement is just a bunch of spoiled kids. If they don’t get what they want they start screaming. Normally parents would take measures but in this case these kids can do what they want. The red line is reached!
-
Did she left her job because I also read the she doesn’t want to resign and ofcourse she is right
-
She needs a shot of something..😬 💉
-
This has to happen, when you realize the administration that hired you is criminally retarded !!
-
Get your facts straight she did not leave her job.
-
She did not “abruptly leave her job”. She was fired for putting people’s health ahead of a non qualified person’s “opinion”. Are any of you in there actual journalists or have they all left?
-
Her lawyers say otherwise. Maybe you should get the reporting right.
-
Elsewhere, it correctly reported that she’s being ousted. The Times reporters once again look like Trump’s chumps.
-
They’re all saying what a disaster RFK junior is
-
What do you mean you're leaving? You didn't like being stabbed in the back, told what to do, or being shot at on a daily basis?
-
Pitchbot could've written a better post than this.
Is she the good guy or the bad guy? Was she fired or did she resign in protest?
-
"Departs"??
-
She holds a PhD in microbiology and immunology. Compared to no medical education or license for RFK Jr. It’s like a Lifeguard that can’t swim.
https://Jr.like
-
You need to correct this, she has not resigned
-
Just say no folks.
-
What career minded individual would want to work for the CDC, FBI, the military or any federal government agency when you could get fired for doing your job the right way or trying to uphold the oath that you required to sign. A weakened nation ready for the terrorist, far worse than 9/11 get ready
-
Here we go: "Dr. Monarez, while not pointing a finger at the health secretary, echoed their, (CDC employees) concerns about misinformation in a note to employees."
-
No she did not leave!
-
A month ago, her hair was still brown 😂😂
-
Nobody can work with these fools
-
Wrong!!
-
They're disappearing competence.
-
Except she hasn’t.
-
This is incorrect and should be corrected.
-
No she hasn’t
-
RFK is batshit crazy. Something is going on and soon we will all know. I hope she spills the beans on all of it.
-
Bye bitch
-
“abruptly departs” N.Y.T. sure does love running cover for the prick who “hires all the best people”.
-
The last remaining fourth estates that is cash positive do some active journalism as it appears that US institutions are now eroding beyond the state of repair. The head of the CDC being ousted during a defunded health care era will lead to the return of a host of horrific diseases.
-
Dr. Monarez told him there were 2 things she would not do
- anything illegal
- anything that flew in face of science She was asked to do both of those
- firing her leadership 2.rubber stamp A.C.I.P. recommendations
She was not going to do either of those.
-
Just a reminder that RFK, like most of the Trump Cabinet, knowing LIED during his Confirmation Hearings
RFK Should be fired before Americans DIE
-
No she didn’t leave! Check your sources! She’s still there!! Go Susan!!
-
Not quite.
-
And, more firings of other top-level government personnel. Same ole story as during Trump's first four years. A revolving-door of administrative staff. How can you keep a business solvent with this nonsense going on much less a country?
-
Never heard of her, but she looks like a quitter……..
-
"Left her job"? Passive-voice much?
Implying that Monarez was responsible for any such "shifts in vaccine policy" and/or "layoffs"?
What absolute garbage!
Do you idiots still think Trump will spare you if you keep writing headlines like this?
You are out of your collective minds if you do.
-
Her lawyer says she has not resigned. You should run an apology for lying. Again.
-
Wearables Aren't Going to 'Make America Healthy Again'
I research, wear, and test health and fitness wearables here at Lifehacker. I also have a longstanding interest in public health. I wrote a book on disease epidemics through history. So understand tha...
-
WTF is wrong with you?
-
This poor woman used to be brunette. Now look at her! FFS!
-
Her attorneys beg to differ w your typically crap reporting.
-
WTF NYT. Your headline is just grossly irresponsible and INACCURATE. She was fired after she refused to resign on ethical grounds and to protect the integrity of our health care system.
-
Not according to her lawyer she hasn't...
Be accurate and update as required...
-
not according to her lawyers
-
Was she trying to actually prevent disease? Because it appears that RFK wants the opposite. #veteransagainsttrump
-
Maybe you could focus on accurately reporting the news? Maybe even point out facts like the President is spouting gibberish?
You seemed eager to chase rumors about Biden's health yet I'm not seeing you demanding info on Trump's hand.
Where are the calls from your editors for Trump to resign?
-
BREAKING NEWS @nytimes.com -- NO SHE DIDN'T !!!
-
RFK Jr. Is doing exactly what they wanted him to do. So that is why he will continue to remain. His job is soft murder. People need to wake up to the true horrific reality that is proven by the ballon markets. We the people have been deemed no longer needed, but a parasite to those with wealth.
-
Really? Cause I read her lawyer said no she is still onthe job
-
It was determined she wasn't incompetent enough.
-
I think the CLOCK IS TICKING on the next pandemic. And that's because of this person...Robert F Kennedy, Jr. (And because he hired him, DonOLD J tRump.), the Scourges of PANDEMICS!
-
What did she expect. She works for Dumb Fucks like DJT and JFK Jr.
-
I thought her attorney had filed and she'd refused to resign.]
-
As those with principles and morals depart, who replaces them? Lackeys and boot lickers? My health is mortally at risk.
-
You forgot to add "Here's why that's bad for Democrats" to the headline.
-
Tried to use facts with the Secretary of Human Experimentation. Rookie mistake.
-
@nytimes.com always getting it wrong. She has not left nor has she been fired.
-
Seems to me I just read that she is staying.
-
Here's one without paywalls. www.statnews.com/2025/08/27/c...
CDC Director Susan Monarez is ousted as senior leaders exit agency
Susan Monarez, the first Senate-confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been ousted after just a month on the job.
-
@uvapress.bsky.social And universities like UVA bend the knee to rightwing nut jobs on their BOV. Why? $$ and nothing more. This institution is as misogynistic & bigoted just like their founder. Their culture has not changed nor will it while they allow bigots & pedophile supporters on the BOV.
-
It's a dictatorship, man.
-
Her attorneys have said "she is not resigning and has not been fired"----stay strong Susan--punch the bully and brain worm guy in the nose!!
-
NYTs got played, or whoever wrote this article is incompetent.
-
Convict trump will be dead soon. #TrumpDeathDay then we celebrate. #FuckTrump #FuckVance
-
Bullshit
-
her lawyers say no
-
wrong? correct the headline
