Public health isn’t partisan. It’s basic humanity. And right now, it’s under attack. Speak up. Organize. Protest. And in 2026, get ready to vote. Because silence is complicity—and people will die if we don’t stop this. /END

We can have a functioning system. But we have to fight for it. That means calling out the lies, rejecting the cruelty, and holding Congressional Republicans accountable—for confirming RFK Jr, for voting to gut Medicaid, and for putting lives at risk. 9/10

You don't notice public health until it’s gone. It’s clean water, vaccine access, prenatal care, food safety, emergency response. Lose that, and you don’t get chaos—you get catastrophe. 8/10

This isn’t some abstract policy debate. Public health jobs are being cut. Medicaid access is being slashed. And millions of Americans—especially in rural and underserved areas—will pay the price with their health. 7/10

The GOP isn’t just slashing budgets. They confirmed RFK Jr.—a man with a history of spreading vaccine misinformation—to lead this health purge. Every Senator who voted to confirm him owns this disaster. 6/10

In the ER, I see the results of these decisions: kids with asthma living in mold-infested apartments, seniors rationing insulin, people coming in with strokes and infections that should have been caught early—but weren’t. 5/10

And what’s it all for? So billionaires and corporations can pay less in taxes. That’s the actual trade: public health for private jets. 4/10

At the same time, the GOP is pushing Medicaid cuts. That’s 90 million people—children, seniors, pregnant women, and low-income families—left without a safety net. It’s a one-two punch: gut prevention, then gut care. 3/10

The Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy will be wiped out. This office leads vaccine education, pandemic response, and disease prevention. Without it, we’ll see more outbreaks, more ER visits, and more preventable deaths. 2/10
