Hi friend --
POLITICO: “The health department’s politically appointed communications aides have demanded the right to review and seek changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s weekly scientific reports charting the progress of the coronavirus pandemic, in what officials characterized as an attempt to intimidate the reports’ authors and water down their communications to health professionals.”
That’s right: Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services is censoring the CDC. Trump’s team has fought to keep reports on the dangers of hydroxychloroquine from the public eye, accused top scientists and researchers of writing “hit pieces” against the administration, and even installed new staff at the CDC in an attempt to further control which information gets shared with Americans and which goes straight to the paper shredder.

If you stand with scientists -- and against Trump -- let this administration know that we’re aware of what they’re doing and we refuse to allow it. Tell us now:
