ICYMI: This is a good discussion regarding disinformation and politicization of #Science. #PublicHealth

Good Trouble Indiana @goodtroubleindiana.org · 2d

When science doesn’t serve their agenda, they try to discredit it.

Disinformation targeting agencies like the CDC/FDA puts lives at risk.

Was sorry to miss this event today, but was there in spirit.

These RIFs are illegal. Period.

We cannot let them stand.

My quote of the day

Ronald Reagan

The objective I propose is quite simple to state: to foster the infrastructure of democracy - the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities - which allows a people to choose their own way to develop their own culture, to reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.

It’s about so much more than healthcare. And we cannot fix the healthcare issue without fixing the underlying lawlessness.

Congress needs to stop these lawless firings. They are unlawful and more importantly they put Americans at risk!

Vought & Trump fired more hard working federal workers yesterday. They want to manipulate you into blaming Congress and the shutdown, but they had planned these RIFs months ago.

We’re in a health care crisis.

Hospitals and clinics will close from Trump’s cuts.

15 million people will lose their health care.

Now Trump’s CDC layoffs are making it even WORSE by gutting our ability to stop emerging health threats.

Democrats are fighting to stop this.

It is day 10 of the government shutdown, and instead of negotiating with Democrats, Trump is disrespecting federal workers and using them as pawns in his plan to dismantle the services Americans rely on.

Firings of federal workers begin as White House seeks to pressure Democrats in government shutdown
