9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Sure, hide from your bosses to avoid a performance review. FYI, Just because you don’t hear the bad review doesn’t mean you’re doing a good job and get to stay.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Reporter: I have lived in the DC area for almost 50 years now. The most violent moment in my life was January 6th, 2021, when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone who was involved

D.C. is not a dangerous city. Nor is L.A. The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE. They are committing crimes. They are terrorizing communities. They are tearing families apart. They are kidnapping people. They are the problem. And we the people are done with them.

The most important job of the legislature is passing a budget. Democrats are hard at work, but MAGA Matt Hall and his far-right caucus are more interested in playing political games than doing their jobs. And now everyone in our state is going to pay the price.
