CDC's new acting chief of staff is an RFK Jr. loyalist, insiders say. But she wasn't always seen that way.
Six CDC insiders describe the surprising ascent of a little-known career official, a shift in allegiances, and troubling conduct behind the scenes.

Co-written by former DOJ IG Michael Bromwich, the letter notes that Trump has forced out ~20 IGs over the past 20 mos in favor of "politically aligned replacements," and says that how this inquiry is handled will be a "test of the IG system under this Administration." 2/2
We are aware that over the past 20 months, this Administration has removed o
forced out approximately 20 non-partisan inspectors general in favor of politically aligned replacements.3 In that regard, the investigations we are requesting constitute a further test of the IG system under this Administration. The investigations must not be conducted in a partisan fashion, nor result in politically motivated whitewashes, notwithstanding any pressure internal or external to the Administration. Anything less than a full and fair review would be a betrayal of your mission and perpetuate the outrageous mistreatment of Mr. Hearn. We are prepared to take further steps to assure accountability.

Future Trump-proofing the government is a top priority. There are 1 million Trumps waiting for their chance, now that a path has been cleared. Why can’t people put together policies that will save America and protect protected in the future, and and THEN impeach and remove?

Spending money on high-powered weapons, armored, vehicles, etc. produces nothing for the police. Hiring more, better trained, better supported police and holding them accountable for misbehavior. Does the most in a city like Chicago.

psychd.bsky.social @psychd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
That said, consistent, tough, but respectful policing is generally welcomed, even by people in minority neighborhoods that have born the brunt of police violence over the years. This is why they tend to react negatively to “defund the police.”

psychd.bsky.social @psychd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Of course, what happened in the 1970s was based on an outdated theory that being “tough“ on perceived criminals was the only way to keep criminality down in a city. That viewpoint has been revived by Republicans of late, but there is no evidence that that is beneficial.

psychd.bsky.social @psychd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The solution is not to defend them. The solution is to actually hire more and train them better. There should also be accountability for acting out, but identifying police officers who are burned out and cynical is a good move early on, instead of dealing with the consequences later.
