Jenna has been an inspiring colleague I’ve been honored to work alongside this year. It needs to be known after putting us through the longest shutdown (they say in official emails, “democrat-led” like how desperate), on Day 1 back to work they are putting people on admin leave again.
Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

If the Trump administration wishes to censor us, they can try.
But it’s a sign they have no actual rebuttal to our points. If they had facts they’d use them to persuade people. They’re not doing that. What’s coming out of the Bhattacharya NIH is instead censorship, and lies.
