"I’m deeply alarmed, and we should all be, that critical vaccine policy decisions are being made without scientific rigor, eroding public trust and endangering our nation’s health. The unjustified removal of the CDC director & sidelining of experts in favor of non-specialists is unprecedented. (1/3)

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.
The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM.
