3 former Surgeon Generals issue a warning: "The CDC is more than just an agency. It is the cornerstone of public health... The recent turbulence at the CDC threatens to undermine this legacy, and we feel this is not just a bureaucratic or political issue. It’s truly a matter of life and death."

Surgeons general warning: CDC saves lives. It's up to us to save public health. | Opinion

As surgeons general, we took an oath to protect Americans. It includes speaking up when public health is in danger. We see that danger now at the CDC.

We’re an unserious nation… Trump and Hegseth chatting: “This economy is tanking fast. I’ve got it—let’s rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Maybe that’ll distract them.” The name change is juvenile. The country’s being run by middle school bullies.

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim. He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease. He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States. And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

From left to right, Dr. Albert Mulenga, William Tae Heung Kim, Dr. Thu Thuy Nguyen, Dr. Alex Kiarie Gaithuma, Dr Hassan Hakimi and Emily Bencosme Cuevas. Kim is a Texas A&M researcher who was detained in San Francisco last Monday despite being a permanent resident of the United States and a green card holder.
