As Anne Nelson wrote, Project 2025 involves plans to kneecap the CDC’s ability to issue public messaging and give health recommendations.

Rachel Maddow covered this report back in Oct '22, hosting subcommittee Chairman Rep. James Clyburn shortly after its publication. Worth a review.

While there's plenty of valid criticism of the CDC, Severino's rings pretty hollow.

A 2022 report from the Dem-led COVID Oversight subcommittee details how the Trump-aligned HHS was weaponized against the CDC to control messaging.

This @politico.com article quotes Trump's former HHS Office for Civil Rights director, now serving as VP of domestic policy at Heritage Foundation and an author of the HHS chapter of the Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership on the CDC's credibility crisis.

LinkedIn suggesting a job for me as an intern at the Koch-funded anti-feminist Independent Women's Forum (which grew out of a group called Women for Clarence Thomas) is pretty funny. I do not think I'm what they are looking for.

I wrote a bit about that here - and why the media playing into their blueprint is so dangerous - and will have significantly more to follow.

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation's "Road Map" appears to be the script the GOP's House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic is following and their recent Stalinist show trials of scientists should serve as a warning given Heritage's other plans and threats.

Checking in with all the boomers in my life who said I was overreacting about US political corruption because their generation got through Watergate. If Watergate is an official act that would be legal in the now times, how are we feeling, my old dudes?

Many of my public health colleagues have faced more threats than I have. People are leaving the field - at a time when, my gods, do we need good people. And I can't fault them. These jobs aren't worth risking your families safety over.

As I wrote in my August article about the case (then Missouri v Biden), it sandbagged the NIH's $154.3 million Advancing Health Communication Science and Practice program. I sincerely hope this much needed program will go forward now that there is a SCOTUS verdict.
