Vaccinations are one of the most cost-effective strategize we have to keep our communities healthy!
You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

AmeriCorps service reshaped my trajectory in the best way.

Helping others is a powerful way to know ourselves, and it empowers us to identify the ways we can be of use to our country.

Nicole Kach is spot on — funding cuts to our national service program are un-American. We have to do better!
One Massachusetts resident’s experience with AmeriCorps shows the value of national service — and what’s lost if the Trump administration guts it.

Affordable, accessible child care.

Equal pay for equal work.

Paid family leave.

Reproductive freedom.

These ideas aren't radical. But making them reality would be revolutionary.

Kory’s mom depends on Social Security benefits to provide for her family, and his brother will depend on veteran services.

At our town hall this week, Kory asked if AGs will fight for him and his family.

We’re never going to stop fighting for Kory and the people.

This is a damning confirmation of what we've been saying:

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions to fund more tax cuts for billionaires.

Hands. Off. Medicaid.

Hello I’m very tired today but my sleepy take is that we should not cancel science or bully folks with disabilities or immigrants or queer kids

Thank you for coming to my ted talk 💕

With the help of family and friends, we raised £2836 for Caudwell Children’s — a charity that provides critical services and supports kiddos with autism in the UK. What an absolutely amazing day 🇬🇧

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

As a resident tutor at Harvard, I know these students. I'm so proud of their courage and their leadership. And I'm scared — we must protect them at all costs. Our community, and our future as a nation, is brighter because they are here.

Every child deserves to thrive—not carry the weight of their trauma for a lifetime.

I reintroduced the STRONG Support for Children Act to break cycles of trauma, invest in healing, and ensure our kids get the care and support they deserve.

When the NIH cut funding for my research on food and housing insecurity, they sent a letter stating my work was “antithetical to the scientific inquiry”

They couldn’t be more wrong. I explain why in @statnews.com
