Update: At least three other high-ranking officials in CDC have also resigned.
“I am not able to serve in this role any longer because of the ongoing weaponization of public health,” one of the officials said in a note to staff.

In Alabama, another horrible ICE detention story— pulled over for going 1 mile over the speed limit and then put into detention, a woman who earned a masters degree and has become a beloved community advocate. Not a criminal. Someone who contributes to America. www.al.com/news/2025/08...
Alabama immigration advocate detained by ICE in traffic stop, family says: ‘Just heartbreaking and discouraging’
"Her detainment is not only legally questionable — it is morally wrong," a petition demanding her release reads.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.
What an indictment of our media.

It's insane that Piers would take the position that the president can use his power to dictate what his critics can or cannot say on television. If Colbert wants to be anti-Trump, it's a free country (to Trump's dismay). Imposing mandatory neutrality comes when your ideas can't win out on their own.
