Aurgh. I had a similar experience. My mom just died (💔) on the 30th of a 31-day month. I learned the hard way that we lose the whole month back unless they die on the 3rd of the following month. WTAF. Yet, the expenses for that month remain… Our tax dollars not at work. 😐

Most of my years here have been in PEPFARworld, so this is absolutely crushing. How much more of this destruction can we take… 💔💔💔 I wish the American people truly understood the short- and long-term implications of these political and anti-science actions. 😢

Thanks. ❤️ Also, I wish the media had communicated how much taxpayer money it costs to shutdown govt and then start it up again. Public would not have put up with it, methinks…

Yes! Love Cyndi! Saw her open for Tina Turner at Summerfest in MKE a gajillion years ago. I have been to a LOT of concerts and it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Both women were amazing!!

Yes. Yes, it will cost lives in the US & around the world. Thank you for raising awareness. 💚 CDC scientists took an oath to the Constitution upon entering. We take that oath and the CDC’s mission very seriously. We work 24/7 to keep Americans safe and doing our best to keep going amidst this chaos.

Thanks for the great post, Alt! Another critical part of our role is to communicate findings and translate those into policy and recommendations for, you know, control and prevention of conditions to the public. This admin RIFed many comms and policy folks across the agency…

It’s working. 😢 The admin’s adolescent pettiness distracts us from protecting Americans 24/7. Like other USG employees, we take our oath to the Constitution and the mission of CDC *very* seriously. It’s devastating to watch this administration dismantle our non-partisan public health system… 💚💪

Hate this for all of us who are furloughed, but if it means we get credits extended for Medicare/Medicaid/ACA, I’ll endure it without complaint.
Wonder how many taxpayers know a shutdown costs $400M a day?
GOP owns White House, Senate, and House. They own this shutdown.

Please keep in mind that there remain thousands of dedicated, brilliant civil servant scientists who took an oath to the Constitution upon entering office and believe so much in that oath and the mission of CDC to save lives that we remain at the agency doing the work. Please don’t abandon us!💚

Anyone know how much taxpayers paying for all the transportation of the body on Air Force Two and all the ceremonial stuff for an unelected influencer/podcast host?

Wow. This is really unbelievable, yet not at all surprising.

Sad to see Melinda go after a distinguished career full of important contributions to public health. 💔 Happy she reminded folks that highly skilled, dedicated scientists remain at the agency still doing the critical jobs to protect the public’s health and keep Americans safe. 💚

And POTUS has never made any comments about the 500 shots fired at the CDC on Aug 8, 2025. 180 bullet holes in windows because some MAGA believed propaganda against Covid vax. Buildings won’t be fully functional for 1-1.5 yrs. Yet, they are pushing traumatized staff back to the office by Monday. 🤬

As it should be. This is insane.
Also, RFK Jr needs to go. His policies are destroying public health (CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS) and endangering our national security.
And, why is the media not covering how much changing DoD to DoW name will cost taxpayers?
This is all so irritatingly ridiculous. 🤬

RFK Jr is an embarrassment to the country. Either he lacks competence to run the 2nd largest USG dept or this dismantling of public health is purposeful for evil gain. In either case, his ill-informed opinions/policies will kill Americans. When will MAGA minions realize this will hit them hard?
