Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.
CDC leaders who resigned said RFK Jr. undermined vaccine science, risking lives
As the CDC reels from the firing of its director, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Fox News the agency is “in trouble and we need to fix it.”

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”,
With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr.
He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

RFK Jr.'s #2 is stepping in as acting CDC director. You need to call your Congress people now and demand hearings until RFK is forced out. They're politically weak for another 48-72 hours, then they'll do unbelievable damage in the next month. Show me that you called and I will give you a reward 👇

However evil you think this is, it’s worse:
“The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

The president is an obvious bigot
His administration is pursuing a panoply of racist and sexist policies
Lisa Cook is the first Black woman on the Fed board and has done research on economic effects of racism
How are we not talking about this?

Can We Please Talk About the Racism of Trump's Attack on Lisa Cook?
Is it JUST about her being a Black woman? No. But it's the elephant in the room, and the coverage of the controversy is almost completely ignoring it.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity.
There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar.
Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
#NEW: There are solutions to correct New Mexico's health care provider shortage, but many providers are making the decision to leave the state sooner rather than later. Today, Dr. Angelina Villas-Adams shares her perspective and frustrations with NM's health care status quo. (1)

It would be great to push RFK out now. Also: If we had pushed RFK out after the CDC shooting, we wouldn't have to worry about four open leadership positions at CDC with whoever steps in next. Every crisis where we wait to make this the objective means the damage will be worse when we regain power
