Friday afternoon in Atlanta became chaotic, with ambulances and emergency vehicles all screaming and racing their way to the campus of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Those personnel from multiple jurisdictions arriving to the scene of a lone, mentally unstable gunman carrying a grudge triggered by vaccine skepticism - the kind Trump's Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been stoking for a decade or more.
On that note, current and former CDC staffers didn't hold back with their assessment of said rhetoric. Nor did Atlanta Journal Constitution columnist Bill Torpey. Former CDC senior health policy analyst Jason Cecil joined me for insights.

Hours before that chaos, state senator Jason Esteves gave me 25 minutes or so of his time on the campaign trail to see how his campaign's doing, what he's learned about the state that he might not have known before, what are some big and/or pressing issues he'd like to address if elected, and more.
