HHS is ending funding for four Women's Health Initiative regional centers.
Women are HALF of the population. These targeted funding cuts will mean that women get worse care — and that will cost lives. www.knkx.org/public-healt...

Trump and Elon are pushing out the people who pick up the phones at the Veterans Crisis Line—and making it near impossible for veterans to get help from a real person in their darkest moments. It’s callous and cruel.

Oh good! While Trump & Elon cut lifesaving research, they’re going to put our very limited federal resources towards studying the conspiracy theory that vaccines cause autism.
These people are doing less CANCER RESEARCH to waste your taxpayer dollars on total bunk.

The first triumph of authoritarianism is when people repeat its lies—not out of belief, but to avoid trouble. In time, truth vanishes into silence.

Absolutely no one is asking for three out-of-touch billionaires to rip apart the Department of Education over some deranged far-right culture war.
Trump knows he can't abolish Ed without Congress—but by firing all the staff and smashing it to pieces, he's hoping for the same, devastating result.

The new administrator of the E.P.A. is likely to reverse the long-standing federal position that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger the public—a “truly and deeply disgraceful” form of basic science denial, Bill McKibben writes.
