Wondering whose White House job it is to protect Americans from bio threats - and why that matters? As of this week, it is *nobody's* full-time job. Here is what that means for all of us. Thanks to Jon Finer & @spsaki.bsky.social who lay it out with me here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

No One in the White House Knows How to Stop Ebola
We had a playbook for handling biothreats. Then Trump pushed out the people who knew how to use it.

Thrilled to author with @bhadeliamd.bsky.social, @craigspencer.bsky.social as we try to make sense of the landscape and chart a safer, more secure future, including for all Americans, from bio threats. Our conclusion? Ensuring U.S. pandemic security requires strategic global engagement, not retreat.

Taking a sledgehammer to HHS is dangerous. In @justsecurity.org me & @spsaki.bsky.social write about why cutting, changing, and chaotically destabilizing a critical part of our nation’s biodefense isn’t smart for national security, and it weakens our biological deterrence. 🧵

Today, I found hope in hundreds who came out to celebrate the heroes who protect Americans from disease threats and fragility. After being locked out of their offices for weeks, they were finally allowed back in scheduled increments to box up personal items, family photos, and spare clothing. 🧵

Our protective shield against deadly diseases is falling apart. We haven't had Ebola in America in a decade. That's because Congress supported USAID and CDC to: (1) protect our homeland from deadly disease (2) stop outbreaks at the source (3) make sure our military doesn't have to go into hot zones.

USAID global health security people & programs = America’s fighting force against Ebola. That force is being terminated. The # of Ebola cases in America since a bipartisan Congress souped up the effort in 2015? Zero. Do most Americans want to keep it that way? Yes. Let’s get them back to work.

I am incredibly proud of this #biosecurity team of rising leaders and experts. They are charting a path to a new way of thinking where biosecurity and biosafety are integrated fully into global health and #100DaysMission! Please join us in endorsing the effort. Check it out ⬇️

Elon Musk has purchased $40M on a series of Superbowl ads attacking USAID as "wasteful spending." Colleagues have created this video and are asking that it be posted across social media at exactly 5:30 pm EST today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Musk is rumored to spend $40M on Super Bowl ads with his wildly distorted claims attacking USAID. Don’t believe them. The last round are debunked below. wapo.st/3ErHBZM And I'll unpack the reality in this 🧵, too. 1/13

Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

The United States is less secure without its deployed USAID Force. Tonight I am left speechless by this action and its reverberating impact for us all. USAID is an indispensable part of our national security and the face of America in the world. Please honor our USAID Force tonight. 🧵

There have been 12 outbreaks of Ebola or Marburg (a close cousin) in the past 4 years Zero have landed in the US Why? Because of people like Stephanie Psaki and a US deeply engaged in the world So Stephanie asks Who is protecting Americans from Marburg now? www.statnews.com/2025/01/27/m...

Who is protecting Americans from Marburg right now?
The WHO and the CDC coordinated well when faced with viral outbreaks. This is no time to demolish a well-oiled machine.
