Every other democratic country gets universal healthcare. How can we give Argentina $40,000,000,000.00 without taking care of our own?

We just gave $40 billion to a country that is screwing us by selling to China, so China doesn't have to buy from or deal with the US. That's almost the entire budget for USAID, except instead of saving one South American dude, we could have saved millions of children.

The mounting evidence of natural carbon sinks failing really should be one of the biggest stories in the world right now, demanding a response from governments and boardrooms everywhere. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520467...

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

they just slapped a surgeons general warning on RFK like he’s a pack of cigarettes

We just signed a @CleanAirMoms.org petition telling EPA Administrator Zeldin not to end the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. This critical program provides info about pollution to keep our kids safe. Join me in saying NO to the #POLLUTIONSPREE. app.sosha.ai/s/2ZNfhLJ6

Everyone can do their part in the fight to #EndTB ! Regularly contacting your government about the importance of #Tuberculosis and TB funding can go a long way US: act.pih.org/pepfar-a... Canada: pihcanada.org/LeadOn... UK: results.org.uk/news/... Australia: www.results.org.au/w...

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

Let’s make this happen!

Good news, but more work to be done. #ClimateChange www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-09...

The damage Bhattacharya, Prasad, Makary, and RFK Jr. are doing to public trust is insane.

Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

Apparently it is ok to burn down our public health infrastructure but not ok to burn a flag. #CDC

CT doctors, officials warn EPA rollback threatens air quality and public health: 'At greater risk' www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

Thread that's worth reading. #ClimateChange

Anyone else remember when they said banning smoking at restaurants would kill the industry? That no one would dine out anymore? Sometimes folks heavily invested in the status quo present inaccurate information to preserve it. The job of leaders is call b.s. and get the policy passed.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 17 million Americans with Trump’s Tax Scam.

I cannot believe how unqualified he is for this job.

Join @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and write to your elected officials to tell them that the proposed Medicaid cuts will KILL and COST MORE! Oppose Medicaid cuts, write your elected officials here: actionnetwork.org/letters/medi...

My Trade Secrets today. Imagine the US in 1957 had seen the Sputnik satellite overhead & said "Nah, we'll leave space to the Soviets". Thanks to climate change denial, mindless prejudice and trade protectionism, that's just what it's doing now with China & green tech, esp EVs and batteries. 1/2

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

RFK Jr. is spreading false claims about vaccines. A physician who curates an open database of hundreds of vaccine studies covering millions of people sets the record straight: buff.ly/yp69V0Q #vaccineswork 🩺 🧪

If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn’t be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Key quote: “Research needs continuity, funding & stability. The funding freezes, the threats to indirects, the proposed cuts to NIH, and the delays in visas are threatening to undermine the progress we have made in IPF and COPD, diseases that were underfunded even before”

If masked men without identification in unmarked vehicles attempted to pull your loved one off the street, would you fight back?

It's #ShowYourStripes day. Climate change is real. It's happening now. It's caused by us. There is still hope. The coming heat wave will be part of a more than doubling of such events. We owe it to future generations to #ActOnClimate showyourstripes.info/c/northameri...

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

"The speed with which these members were selected, and the lack of transparency in the process, does not help to restore public confidence and trust, and contributes to confusion and uncertainty." American College of Physicians Troubled by #ACIP Committee Selection Process

RFK Jr.’s dangerous decision to fire all members of ACIP enables him to fill the committee with conspiracy theorists and endanger our public health.

You know you're screwing up when you get the AMA to take action: AMA Calls for Senate Investigation of RFK Jr. www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcover...

The situation in Los Angeles looks so bad Oklahoma has already banned it from being taught in schools.

CIDRAP fact-checks RFK's op-ed on why he disbanded ACIP, his MAHA report and Covid vaccine recommendations. "It alternates between flat-out falsehoods and misleading claims...The studies it cites say the opposite." Dark times ahead.

The ATS condemns the HHS Sec. Kennedy’s unilateral decision to dismiss all members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). This decision undermines decades of medical and scientific that have been vital to safeguarding public health. apnews.com/article/kenn...

New moment of “WTF”: -pt with rare infection (so rare will leave unnamed, as could reveal identity) -nl times: reach out to CDC for testing -now: “they confirmed they are not currently accepting specimens for serology…they suggested we could reach out to Canada National Reference Center” 😳😳😳

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it
