Four SAMHSA grants in my department were cancelled.
Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.
He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

Is there a single day—1 single day—when RFK Jr does NOT do something to dismantle public health?

The U.S. has surpassed 2000 documented measles cases this year, the highest in more than 30 years.
This is driven by rampant disinformation about vaccines from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including in his capacity as a government official.
