Director Monarez was nominated by Trump to lead the CDC, endorsed by RFK Jr., and then confirmed by a Republican Senate.
Yet when she tried to stand up for science over political ideology, she was pushed out.
RFK Jr. must be fired.

Trump moved a convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker to a "Country Club" prison.
He's choosing to stand up for the most notorious pedophile in history rather than the victims calling for justice and transparency.
He ran on releasing the Epstein files—release them then.
It’s important for states like Washington to step up to protect public health, but diseases don't recognize borders.
We still need a functioning and trustworthy federal health department—for that to happen, RFK Jr. must be fired immediately.
If House Republicans try to jam through a partisan CR without any input from Democratic members of Congress, and they suddenly find that they don’t have the votes they need from our caucus to fund the government?
Well then, THAT is a Republican shutdown.
They're right.
RFK Jr. is a serious threat to public health and our lives. He is undermining vaccines, boosting dangerous conspiracy theories, and decimating lifesaving research.
Resign or be fired. He needs to go.
It's sick and wrong to terminate funding for childhood cancer.
Everyone should know and understand that the Trump administration CHOSE to do this.
I'll keep doing everything I can in the meantime to protect and fund this cancer research and lifesaving clinical trials.
I am not going to support the confirmation of a federal prosecutor who wants to rewrite the basic history of January 6th and who believes the overturning of Roe v. Wade was the right decision.
Serrano is far out of step with Washington state values.
This kind of corruption is as brazen as it gets. Trump is easily the most corrupt President in our country's history.
Yet Republicans in Congress are not lifting a single finger to exercise basic oversight. Shameless complicity.
I'll keep saying it: RFK Jr. is a deadly threat to our public health and safety.
He is razing CDC, NIH, and other health agencies to the ground—putting politics and deranged conspiracy theories over science.
We need bipartisan oversight immediately, and he must be FIRED.
Trump is attacking unions, driving up costs, and dismantling workers’ rights.
On Labor Day, we’re reminded that America deserves better.
I’m proud to have helped author the PRO Act to expand workers’ rights & strengthen unions—and I’ll keep fighting to put workers first.
Donald Trump's health care cuts are going to be catastrophic.
First, Americans will see their premiums skyrocket, and millions will be priced out of coverage.
Then, millions will lose Medicaid, and hospitals will begin to close.
Democrats are fighting to repeal these cuts.
It’s good that the courts are making clear that Trump’s destructive tariffs are illegal.
These tariffs are crushing small businesses and costing regular people thousands of dollars for no good reason.
Democrats will keep pushing to end these tariffs & restore economic sanity.
Trump is attempting more ILLEGAL cuts to government investments, trying to push Congress to the side entirely.
This is a brazen attempt to steal Congress's power to be YOUR voice on taxpayer spending.
Trump does NOT have a line-item veto, much less a retroactive one.
These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official.
It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.
This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick.
Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary.
These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.
RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it.
My full statement.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong.
If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Absolutely heartbreaking. We are so past the point of just thoughts and prayers—and we have been for YEARS.
Of course I’m thinking of all of the victims of today’s shooting, but I’m also ready to pass common sense gun safety reforms TODAY. Are Republicans?
Authoritarian power grabs like this will trash the American economy.
This is about YOUR MONEY 💰💸💸!
It’s about every family’s savings & retirement. Republicans need to get serious about drawing a line here.
The same Trump administration that wants to abolish FEMA is decimating disaster response and openly ignoring lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina that get help to people in need after natural disasters.
Republicans must join us in pushing for answers and accountability ASAP.
