Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected
Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year
But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths
All because of two men

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans:
If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition…
But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.

And if you haven't read this shattering ProPublica piece about the effects of Covid on pregnancies, you should take a deep breath and do so:
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
