A huge win for public health! Thank you to the AAP and other health organizations who stood up for science and health. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

President Trump said the quiet part out loud. The SAVE Act that Trump is pushing will deny millions of Americans their right to vote.

This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The administration and the EPA have devalued human lives and threatened Americans' health, at the same time the administration and HHS make it harder for Americans to afford health care.

This says it all www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...

The rise in cellphone use among kids is harming their learning and mental well-being—and some states are limiting or fully banning cellphone use in schools. 📵

CAP's @bbkogan.bsky.social explains the reality of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: it's a giant tax cut for the richest Americans.

This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.

And Trump dares to talk about fraud and corruption.

Trump still claiming he is lowering drug prices... www.factcheck.org/2026/02/trum...

President Trump just said, “We lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.” A reminder of what happened to those 2.4 million Americans:

trump says the economy is roaring like never before, but the unemployment rate keeps ticking up

It’s a turnaround for the ages all right, for manufacturing jobs!

Some things that me and my colleagues at @americanprogress.bsky.social are watching for tonight at the SOTU: - Exaggerated claims about an economy that added only 181K jobs in 2025, the worst non-recession year in the last 20 years x.com/byheatherlon... (1/3)

From his “Liberation Day” tariffs to the deployment of ICE agents in major U.S. cities, President Trump’s State of the Union address is sure to span the gamut. Our CAP experts will be closely watching—follow our starter pack to stay informed: https://go.bsky.app/3TC1naE

The Trump administration and EPA's loosening of restrictions on coal-burning power plants will increase exposure to mercury, lead and other toxins, harming babies' brain development. Is the administration protecting our kids' health or corporate profits? thehill.com/policy/energ...

The Trump administration has devalued Americans' health and lives yet again! Trump's new order boosts production of a cancer-causing weed killer--“a direct assault on MAHA” and “a gift to pesticide and chemical industry lobbies at the expense of human health.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

Despite promising to remove "toxins in our environments and pesticides in our food," President Trump plans to increase production of glyphosate, a weedkiller that has been targeted in thousands of lawsuits for health harms. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

RFK Jr's legacy: broken promises and increased threats to our health, with real consequences for all of us. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

In addition to EPA's failure to protect our health, let's remember, as RFK Jr celebrates the anniversary of the MAHA initiative, all the new health threats he has added for our children. www.americanprogress.org/article/what...

The U.S. lost over $100 million last year due to 2,200 cases of measles, according to my estimate for @usnews.com based on published cost analyses: www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

The Trump administration is gutting pollution limits that harm children at the same time it dismantles research, disease prevention programs, and health care services that promote and support child health.

❗️Deadline: February 13❗️ Congress is negotiating DHS’ annual budget right now. We have until the 13th to demand that Senators continue to oppose additional funding for ICE & CBP and rein in these out-of-control agencies. Send a message to your Senators now ⤵️ https://bit.ly/4tiNRrQ

Trump and his administration are putting the profits of Big Oil before the health of our kids—how is this making America healthy again? https://www.americanprogress.org/article/how-the-trump-administrations-embrace-of-oil-gas-and-chemical-industry-interests-will-endanger-childrens-health/

New from CAP: How the Trump administration has rigged the system in favor of corporate polluters while cutting health care, health research, public health and child welfare services, undermining healthy environments and threatening children’s futures. ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

Masked law enforcement is NOT normal—and we're fighting back with legislation that puts transparency first.

The system is rigged to protect polluters' profits over our health and wellbeing.

This past weekend's winter storm was a stark reminder of the threat extreme temperatures pose to our aging electric grid infrastructure—we need to invest in the electric grid and clean energy sources to keep Americans safe.

The amazing @drjudystone.bsky.social is out with another excellent piece on RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan’s bizarre interview about wanting to see what happens to kids during a measles outbreak. As @jimalwine.bsky.social says, “they call it the cost of doing business. That’s simply diabolical”.

"When health insurance becomes unaffordable, women don’t just absorb the cost. They make sacrifices—often at the expense of their health.” More from @kierrajones.bsky.social @msmagazine.com: tinyurl.com/44t9u3b2

Are you better off than you were a year ago? After a year of Trump's economy, Americans' attitudes and latest economic data answer that question with a resounding "NO." Check out how Trump's first year made life less affordable ⇣ www.americanprogress.org/article/a-ye...

HHS Secretary RFK Jr: "This idea that you should trust the experts, a good mother doesn't do that"

The VA used to require veterans to pass a drug test in order to access housing benefits. That's not how recovery works—@duckworth.senate.gov shares why harm reduction is important.

Despite what the federal government says, eliminating vaccination data while gutting our vaccine infrastructure reduces transparency and public trust while harming our children. ⬇️ www.statnews.com/2026/01/14/c...

BREAKING: We just blocked the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to cut $12 million in funding from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We are grateful that children & families across the country will be able to access life-saving health services as we continue to fight this unlawful retaliation in court.

I am honored to know and collaborate w/Dr. Steven Johnson, a small town rural superintendent in ND. As Steven explains in his latest op-ed, breaking up ED will interrupt funding & services, wreaking havoc on student outcomes - especially for rural students. www.the74million.org/article/frag...

Last night, the Trump administration withdrew the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the foundational 1992 treaty that established the entire framework for international climate cooperation. This is unprecedented and dangerous.

Today is the one year anniversary of one of California's deadliest wildfires. There's no denying climate change is fueling these deadly fires, which haven taken everything from survivors like Katie and Marco.

Former EPA head Gina McCarthy on EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin: He is "sabotaging the MAHA strategy." "He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, actively spiking any attempt to improve kids’ health & taking actions that could make it worse." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/30/o...

In response to Brown University shooting Trump says "things can happen" Disgusting. He's directing the DOJ to undo gun regulations, making these tragedies more likely to occur. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

The chemical industry wanted weaker cancer risk assessments for chemicals. EPA Administrator Zeldin and the chemical industry insiders he installed at EPA delivered, nearly doubling the amount of formaldehyde, a cancer-causing gas, considered safe to breathe! www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

During his campaign, Trump promised oil executives that he'd dismantle climate change policies in exchange for $1B in campaign financing. Now EPA is canceling lifesaving pollution limits and scrubbing mentions of human-caused climate change from its website: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
