I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Absolutely brilliant that Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize. A defender of democracy who put herself in danger deservedly rewarded
