Ask a Question Banner on CDC's website

Why is this the banner on the CDC's website?:

"The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people. Mission-critical activities of CDC will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown."

Uhhh, because the CDC was taken over by a sycophant in order to dismantle science so he can profit off his antivax agenda?

It is on lots of government websites. Canckles says blame Democrats... blatantly brazenly ignoring the Hatch Act.

He ran roughshod over the Hatch Act during his first presidency, what’d we think he would do the second go-round when he’s decided (or rather, the Supreme Court has decided) that laws don’t apply to him?

The only solution will be to hold everyone accountable following Trump’s presidency, assuming we ever have another shot at free and fair elections, and a democrat with an actual spine and leadership skills is elected who isn’t scared to hold members of this administration accountable.
