Take a look. It is shocking, not surprising. But, the ironic part is the EO suggests a “focus” on making America healthy with multi-agency effort yet they are firing staff … so this is just harmful, devastating messaging.

Good question! Try to find a dedicated wall even. Hang that degree! Maybe get a plant (Trader Joe’s has inexpensive ones!) I stack books that are meaningful & about the DisCo. Old school but a small ring light brightens you up. You don’t need a lot of space - intentional items make a difference.

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling.
He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
