Good morning! The worst timeline continues: CDC has paused/revoked approvals for telework accommodations for staff with disabilities. This is so illegal and cruel it makes our heads spin. Our unions are on it.
Also, Zombie ACIP panel also looms later this week 🧟♂️.
Buckle up, friends.

The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

I love that Governor Janet Mills is standing up to Trump!!!
Weak men don’t scare strong women…
Observers of her political rise — and some who have sparred with her — say Gov. Janet Mills’s refusal to bow to President Trump is right in character.

We've heard that the vibes are really really heavy today across many of our agencies.
Let's hear something good to pass along to our govvies. It could be words of encouragement, a good service story, anything. Doesn't have to be VA. I'll make sure they get to the right people.
