I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Could today's CDC handle a zombie apocalypse? A look back at the CDC's 2011 graphic novel on a "zombie pandemic." As the agency's systems are dismantled, the idea of a coordinated national response to a health emergency seems as fictional as zomb...

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Former CDC Director William Foege: How public health can fight back in a time of dangerous nonsense “Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time,” writes former CDC Director William Foege.

After Years of Anger Directed at C.D.C., Shooting Manifests Worst Fears www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/u...

The shooting targeting CDC, which resulted in the death of a police officer was horrific, and it was completely preventable. Cuts to CDC programs that reduce gun violence and support mental health, and anti-science rhetoric from political appointees set the stage for this senseless act of violence. Something needs to change.

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.
