Shocked but not surprised, over and over again.

@washingtonpost Thomas Jefferson wrote that “information is the only legitimate engine of government.” The damage being done to Federal data (and science more generally) de-legitimizes everything this Administration does.

The warning signs are flashing red. It’s not just the CDC that is at risk, it’s all of us. https://t.co/Q5pbHmMZh2

@dr_demetre This should be read in every HS civics class to show what public service is about. For our best, like @dr_demetre and others at @CDCgov it’s about principle & dedication to community. What a privilege to have worked alongside people who put service to the public’s health first.

@Jeff_Ermann My dad was an engineer for Channel 7 when they carried Terps games. Going to work with dad when I was little: help set up floor cameras at Cole, then sit behind Sonny Jurgensen in the press box watching that new coach Lefty. Inevitable that years later I became a Terp myself.

What's something going on in your life that you are happy about?

Love that CNN coverage of GOP in disarray comes with statue of Will Rogers in the background - who famously said “I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a democrat. ⁦@jaketapper⁩ @mkraju

In #RaisingtheBar we show how health care can use ALL of its powerful roles to advance #healthequity. Proud of the work of @NASDOH_Alliance and its partners did with support from @RWJF, and input and inspiration from many who give, get, and pay for healthcare.

[RWJF @RWJF]

During the COVID-19 pandemic and social unrest of 2020, healthcare organizations voiced strong commitment to #HealthEquity.

@RWJF supports #RaisingtheBar, an actionable framework on the roles healthcare plays to make progress on this commitment. https://t.co/vXUBD4SWlr 🧵 1/6

If the parents and politicians that mobilized to keep masks out of schools could bring the same passion to keeping guns out of schools, maybe we’d get somewhere.

[Tim Requarth @timrequarth]

NEW: Two years into the pandemic, a lot of us are wondering how the CDC became so politicized. In my latest for @Slate, I wrote about why that’s the wrong question.

The CDC can’t be apolitical. The question is what kind of politics it should embrace.

Needed proof of our dog’s vaccinations before the groomer would take him today. I know dogs are more deserving than us, but seems like we might take a lesson.

[Karen Tumulty @ktumulty]

My mother had a vaccine passport from decades ago. So why are we so averse to the idea now? https://t.co/9iZxTY27un

Chauvin conviction may be a start. Only 99.999999999% of the real work remains to be done now.

This rare conviction of a police officer may come to be seen as a defining moment in America's collective reckoning with issues of race and justice. https://t.co/ii5bCOG4uo

Next up – VACCINES! Activate GOTV networks to reach and schedule priority groups as supply grows. They have data; tech platforms; messaging know-how; & large volunteer networks. GOP=65+, Dems=workers and BIPOC. @aslavitt46 @DrLeanaWen @choucair @CDCDirector @bchoucair46 😷

BIG THANKS to the volunteers who made over 784,000 phone calls to senior citizens in Texas today.

You helped to connect them with water, food, transportation, and shelter.

And you made sure that they knew we were thinking about them and that they matter to us.

Goodnight!
