We’ve posted a lot lately about CDC denying reasonable accommodations to disabled employees -- e.g., telling a paraplegic person who normally teleworks to report to the office immediately or use leave.
Yes, that’s really happening.
Let’s talk a bit about why everyone should care.

Interesting how #Trump and #Hegseth are both denying knowledge of any order to fire on the two surviving crew members. They are, in effect, throwing the involved US military personnel under the bus. #CutandRun, that's their leadership style.
