The health and wellbeing of 330 million Americans is now in your hands, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
We're prepared to work with you, but we expect you to take action to preserve accessible healthcare for everyone.
The agencies you oversee must remain grounded in science and integrity.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law.
America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws.
The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution.
No one is above the law.

Trump fires a four star coast guard chief - head of the USCG (because of course she’s DEI), the head of the TSA, over 3000 air traffic controllers because they were "DEI", and a major air safety commission. 8 days later….

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

That's right - we should cut government waste.
But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.
I have better ideas.
