The Trump administration's document about children's health and chronic disease doesn't mention the word "nicotine" once. Tobacco remains the top cause of preventable death in the U.S.
RFK Jr.'s MAHA report on children's health leaves something out: nicotine

I’ve always been grateful to live in a democracy where I can depend on our public news stations. The current President just signed an executive order to end federal funding for NPR and PBS. It's a critical time to donate to public radio. I just donated here:

Let's be clear: Mass deportations will tear families and communities apart, create huge labor gaps in critical industries, and destabilize our already strained economy.
And while we will all feel the consequences, private prison companies, like CoreCivic, will get much, much richer.
