Saturday Morning Covfefe: 5 Things with Olivia

Well, the FBI didn’t show up at my house this week (yet)… so there’s that. Happy Labor Day weekend to all! May your grill be hot, your drinks cold, and your news intake limited to what you can stomach, accompanied by a side of potato salad.

But since I can’t help myself, here are 5 things you might’ve missed while America was trying to clock out early.

1. Center for Disease Chaos

The CDC didn’t just lose its director this week; it lost its backbone. After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired Dr. Susan Monarez, senior officials resigned in protest, and staff staged a walkout outside headquarters in Atlanta.

This isn’t just office drama. The officials who walked out include the nation’s top experts on vaccines and emerging diseases. Their message: Kennedy is dismantling trust in vaccines and public health. The very people leaving are the ones America depends on when outbreaks hit.
