Inbox: @sanders.senate.gov is calling for a bipartisan investigation into the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez. Sanders is the top Democrat on the Senate's health committee — the chairman is Bill Cassidy, who last night said he would conduct "oversight" but didn't get more specific.

Call Cassidy’s office. A live person picked up the phone. Tell him instead of posting here. Thank him for endangering lives and taking freedoms away. 202 224-5824

Yeah, Bill Cassidy isn’t going to do jack shit. He’s in full campaign mode in Louisiana. He thinks Louisiana voters love RFK Jr. (and he’s probably right.) Good for Sanders, though. And good for the CDC -ers who resigned and for those who walked out.

Totally. And he should have fucking known better. Guess he got pressured into a 'yes' vote because he loves his job more than he respects his oath to "do no harm"

Sanders is an Independent who caucuses with Dems. He’s not a Dem on paper.
