🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected.
This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.
It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.

I just did this for my state of NY. We are going to lose $3.59 billion in research funding, which supports over 29,000 jobs, funding research at hospitals like Mt. Sinai & Memorial Sloan Kettering that have been bringing us medical innovations & saving lives for decades.
Look up how much NIH helps research in your state. Then call your reps and ask them how your state will function without the [$X billion] your state is about to lose.
