Republican Sen. Susan Collins:
“I am extremely alarmed at the firing of the CDC director…I see no basis for her firing. It is highly significant that her removal led to the immediate resignation of four other top officials who have served at the CDC for decades in some cases”
@gunsnrosesgirl3 Well, yes. You stand at a pole and look up, your sight follows the axis of the Earth. Stars appear to rotate around it.
You look up at the equator, your sight sweeps the plane perpendicular to the axis. The sky appears to roll above you, barrelling around Earth's axis.
🙂
