We have each had the honor and privilege of serving as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, either in a permanent or an acting capacity, dating back to 1977. Collectively, we spent more than 100 years working at the C.D.C., the world’s pre-eminent public health agency. We served under multiple Republican and Democratic administrations — every president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump — alongside thousands of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving...

The same former Centers for Disease Control (CDC) executives who forced two-year-olds to wear masks, who hired literal Satanists, and who closed our churches and synagogues but okayed Black Lives Matter gatherings, are big mad that Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing what he promised to do: reform a public health institution Normal People no longer have any faith in. Nine former (thank God!) directors and acting directors of the CDC got together (...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign. Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite. This week, Mr. Kennedy pushed out the director of the Centers...

Chicago’s local leadership doesn’t want help curbing rising crime. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has engaged in anti-Trump rhetoric about the potential deployment of federal resources to address law and order. They don’t want it because it’ll give Trump a win, and it will empty the city of illegal aliens; the Windy City is awash with them. All these hysterics couldn’t come at a worse time, since Chicago had almost 50 people shot over the Labor Day weekend. Several people were killed (via CBS...

Amid upheaval at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including the firing of the agency’s director, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. distorted the facts to falsely claim that the agency’s website lists abortion as one of the “10 greatest advances in medical science.” Kennedy’s comments came in an Aug. 28 interview on “Fox & Friends,” the day after HHS announced on X that Susan Monarez, who had served as CDC director for less...

The arrest of a US army veteran who protested against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown has raised alarms among legal experts and fellow veterans familiar with his service in Afghanistan. Bajun Mavalwalla II – a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan – was charged in July with “conspiracy to impede or injure officers” after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement...

Mexicans living in the U.S. are suddenly sending less money back home and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is blaming America’s crackdown on illegal immigrants, saying President Trump is hurting her nation’s bottom line. The central bank in Mexico said July saw a $1 billion drop in remittances, the largest month-to-month fall in more than a decade, to $5.2 billion. And it’s not just a fluke. The total so far this year is off more than 5% compared to 2024. But remittances to Guatemala,...
