Susan vs. Kennedy: CDC Power Struggle Edition

Monarez, presumably the CDC’s version of a referee in an overcaffeinated soccer match, is expected to serve as the desperately needed check on Kennedy’s alleged power trip. You know it’s serious when public health leadership steps into a soap opera rivaling daytime TV. We’re all terrible drivers of our own lives, but apparently, Kennedy and Monarez are battling for the CDC’s steering wheel.
