Nothing to worry about, just a US official advising our nuclear-armed adversary how to manipulate the President of the United States, a notoriously weak-minded mark

Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham has just been named as the principal deputy director at the CDC.
Abraham’s accomplishments include banning the health department from promoting vaccines and overseeing the concomitant explosion of whooping cough in the state, which has killed two babies.

This is how Trump merely suing people influences their behavior, and he knows it. Which is why he keeps doing it.
Today @rutgerbregman.com posted a transcript of his Reith Lecture showing that the version that BBC aired removed the line about Trump's world-historical corruption.
BBC emailed me: "we made the decision to remove one sentence from the lecture on legal advice.”

I'm all for reform to improve our public schools—I'm the one who rewrote No Child Left Behind.
But Trump breaking apart the Department of Education isn't reform, it's sabotage.
I'm fighting every way I can to stop him and protect public education.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
