Occupy Democracy reported:
BREAKING: In a major humiliation for Trump, CDC Chief Dr. Demetre #Daskalakis #resigns with a scathing letter, saying "enough is enough" with Trump and RFK Jr, whom he accuses of "threatening the lives" of the American people.
Dr. Daskalakis didn’t mince words. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health,” he wrote, calling Trump’s CDC "a political weapon, not a scientific institution."
THIS!! ➡️”Having to retrofit analyses and policy actions to match inadequately thought-out announcements in poorly scripted videos or page long X posts should not be how organizations responsible for the health of people should function," he continued.⬅️
And he didn't stop there. Dr. Daskalakis accused RFK Jr.’s HHS of “radical non transparency and unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end,” warning this could drag us back to “a pre vaccine era where only the strong will survive.”
Dr Daskalakis then slammed RFK Jr's changes to vaccine recommendations as life threatening, especially for young children and pregnant people. He warned that sidelining career scientists, #withholding critical #data and twisting policy for politics isn’t just reckless— "it could cost lives."
"[Trump and RFK Jr's] desire to please a political base will result in death and disability of vulnerable children and adults," he concluded. "Their base should be the people they serve, NOT a political voting bloc."
And there’s more: Dr. Daskalakis's resignation follows the already explosive ousting of CDC Director Susan Monarez. Monarez, who’d only been in the job for weeks, was fired after refusing to back RFK Jr.’s anti-science policies.
Multiple top CDC officials also followed Daskalakis out the door in protest.
This isn’t a mere resignation—it’s a heroic moral stand. Dr. Daskalakis is refusing to be complicit in a politicized dismantling of public health.

I had a viewer question about #tax #rates on #Canadian vs. #foreign #dividends and which #account #minimizes tax #withholding on foreign dividends (#RRSP vs. #TFSA vs. #non-registered or #cash accounts), as well as the rates at which various #dividend #income is taxed. The video covers the entire Canadian #taxation system for context, and answers the question for tax #efficiency. The #CanadianMoneyTalk channel concentrates on…

#Louisiana #Governor #JeffLandry is #withholding #records from the #public by #citing #madeup #exemptions that do not #exist in #law.
He refused to release records #citing “#deliberativeprocess” and “#executiveprivilege” #exemptions, among other reasons, even though those phrases do not exist in the #PublicRecords #Statute.

#ElizabethWarren #condemns #Republican #plan to take #free #school #meals away from #needy #LGBTQ+ #kids.
The joint resolution, sponsored by senator #RogerMarshall (R-KS), would have #nullified an #antidiscrimination #law, issued by the #USDA's #FoodandNutritionService (#FNS), that #prevents #schools #withholding #free #meals on the basis of #genderidentity and #SexualOrientation.

In order to get around the #ethical #considerations of #withholding #care, the #researchers studied only #adults, and opted for a shorter #followup period.

I haven't heard much (that isn't gleeful finger pointing, anyway) from anyone about the newly-declassified-and-released #Jan6 #video #evidence.
The #Right is jumping up and down screaming, "WE TOLD YOU SO!" and the #Left is mysteriously and #suspiciously silent.
The version of events we were fed by the MSM and the Left doesn't seem to line up with the video evidence just released, and if that doesn't #scare you, you're not paying #attention .
I'm interested in others' #thoughts on this, and what the #ramifications of this newly-released information might be?
Did Biden get #elected based on #misinformation and the #withholding of evidence? If so, are we, as a #nation, OK with our government not being #completely #forthcoming with all of the #evidence when the fate of the nation is at stake?
I'm not OK with only being allowed to see the information the party in power (congress, mind you) wants us to see, especially when other evidence exists which #contradicts the #narrative.
