This is a massive deal. But it’s not a done deal. Workers have been barred from their offices, but there is still time to protect their jobs. Only your Reps can do it though. Don’t let up!

RIFs at CDC.

Destroying the Epidemic Intelligence Service, NCIRD, NCIPC & a dozen other areas/divisions/branches will cause enormous harm and suffering to America, and indeed to the whole world.

Call your Reps about it.

Then call them again.

This week we watched as a well-known RD justified acupuncture for her own use .... 3 days before she had a post critical of alternative medicine.

Wonder how she classifies acupuncture?

Interesting! Well Darush Mozzaffarian is a pretty influential voice...but not surprising that there is a lack of cohesive messaging

This is frightening -> "The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. "

FULL STORY HERE: Emails began flooding CDC inboxes late Friday night announcing dozens of layoffs. HR people brought back from furlough to oversee the RIFs. Disease detectives, entire Washington office, global health, injury prevention, MMWR staff among those hit.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

"In an Oct 2025 interview on CBS Mornings, Cheryl Hines expressed her disappointment over the public attacks directed at her husband, RFK Jr from his own family..Hines stated that she had long admired the Kennedy family's tradition of putting family first & found their public criticism hurtful."

If you're listening to the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee continue to speak on authoritarianism and applauding democracy, peace and freedom
..it's pretty obvious Trump will never meet the criteria to win the prize.
...and he's not going to be happy about that.

WIC provides healthy food, nutrition counseling & breastfeeding support to millions of pregnant people, infants & children. Because it is 100% federally funded, within days families could quickly lose access to essential food & formula, & service disruptions. nwica.salsalabs.org/publicfundth...
TELL CONGRESS: Protect Women, Infants, and Children A prolonged federal government shutdown of more than one week puts babies and young children at risk. Make your voice heard! Contact your members of Congress today to urge bipartisan action to pass a government funding bill ensuring no disruptions to the WIC program. Take action by filling out the form below!
