The White House has named a replacement for the director of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a day after its previous leader was forced out of the job.
"I've never heard as many colleagues saying things like 'CDC is dead' as I have today," an agency employee told STAT. www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c ...

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him
It's two a.m.
[Verse 1]

I'm sitting here waitin', the gun's still warm
(I'm sitting here waitin', the gun's still warm)
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances

So a puppet with zero actual experience beyond having Peter Thiel's hand up his a&& as a professional "investor" is now leading what was the world's preeminent public health institution before the Trump morons got a hold of it.
I'm sure that's going to work out great for the rest of us.
