Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing.
Understand: She is a very cautious person.
This means a lot!

This isn't a walkout. It's a clap out - a way we have often supported our leaving leaders. Staff are taking admin leave for it.
And wow, what an amazing and inspiring show of community support. 💚🥹💚

I'm inviting Elon Musk. He owes the American people answers on why he’s trying to shut down the financial cop on the beat that prevents big corporations from cheating Americans.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.
Democrats voted yes.
Republicans voted no.
Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits.
Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices.
Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators.
That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.

On the list of things for Democrats to do if they ever regain power: Investigate whether Elon Musk lied about working illegally on his citizenship application. It's likely he did. If that's proven, he should have his citizenship revoked and then be deported.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
