Our acting CDC director seems comfortable downplaying pediatric respiratory disease by calling it “similar to last year.”
Last year wasn’t safe. Children died at record numbers.
Public health policy should be built around prevention, not normalization of preventable harm.

Donald Trump endangering the lives of children, again.
The US Department of Health and Human Services will recommend fewer vaccines for most American children, a move that health experts fear could lead to a resurgence of preventable diseases. https://cnn.it/44UZM4B

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Under RFK Jr., public health policy now runs on vibes, anecdotes, and “trust me, bro.”
Medicine doesn’t work on intuition. It works on data, trials, and outcomes. When evidence is sidelined, patients pay the price.

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.
The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.

Trump and Republicans claim they want to "protect children."
But they've rolled back child labor laws and environmental protections, blocked gun safety reform, and spread lies about vaccines that save children from deadly diseases.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.

RFK Jr. admits he instructed the CDC to alter its website to hint at a vaccine–autism link. That’s an extraordinary breach of scientific norms. This is not how evidence-based public health works, and it’s not “gold standard” anything.

Maybe I’m strange. I want my President to have ETHICS. I want them to have some morality. I want them to be kind and compassionate. I want them to be intelligent and articulate. I don’t think it’s too much to ask. They don’t have to be a genius, but they do have to be willing to listen to experts. ☮️

AOC didn’t mince words:
“Donald Trump had a very close personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and spent time with victims in the Epstein operation. It’s horrifying.”
She said what a lot of people in power are still too afraid to say out loud.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Healthcare For All
Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.
This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.
Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.
Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

So far, Republicans have shown no interest in reopening the government and lowering health care costs for Americans.
And how many times have Republicans come to the negotiating table? Zero.

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them.
Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics.
