A lot of career federal workers were illegally removed from their jobs this week. Your work matters and you matter.
If you’re a federal worker in energy who lost your job and want a resume review or a zoom to brainstorm your next move or just complain, my door is open. 💡🔌

I read The Hot Zone as part of my required reading in 10th grade. It changed everything about the way I think about epidemiology.
I still have that book and will let my kid read it in a few years. The CDC matters. Science fucking matters.

It's incredibly disheartening to hear about dedicated public health professionals getting mass-laid off from CDC. Including first year epidemic intelligence service officers. This program has been the backbone of outbreak investigations in US since 1951. Decimating this workforce makes us less safe.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
