Public health funding is national defense, not charity. By defunding these systems, the Trump administration is undermining Americans’ safety, argues @americanprogress.bksy.social’s Dr. Nyirandutiye for @devex.com: tinyurl.com/savp6byu

One president is a true “Conservation President,” and one is named Donald Trump. Learn how President Trump is taking steps to dismantle America’s legacy of conservation, including acting to remove protections from more than 100 million acres of public lands: https://ampr.gs/3QpYhYd

Vaccine policy in the U.S. is at a pivotal moment and the conversation about what comes next can’t wait. www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte...

As Trump rigs the system in favor of corporate interests, who is protecting children?

Supreme Court protects industry over public health after Trump issued an EO to increase production of, and provide protections from lawsuits for, glyphosate, backpedaling on the MAHA report that singled out glyphosate as potentially harmful to children. apnews.com/article/supr...

The Trump administration’s actions to eliminate lifesaving environmental protections will allow corporate polluters to emit more toxins and chemicals, exposing more pregnant women to harm. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

New national polling is in, and the message is clear. 82% of Trump's supporters want tougher action on corporate polluters. 7 to 1 want the EPA stronger, not weaker. Nearly 8 in 10 say they have a right to know what's in their air, water, food, and the products they use. We agree.

The Trump administration's latest move adds more political control over science, muzzling scientists and restricting their investigations based on political motives. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of....

SO excited that the Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act was introduced today by Murray, Duckworth, & Pressley. I'm proud that @americanprogress.bsky.social has endorsed this bill & I'm grateful to be part of the the community that fights for accessible reproductive care for disabled people.

Americans shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of their air, water & food. They rely on the EPA to do its job by setting & enforcing safeguards against toxic chemicals and pollution. But the Trump admin is weakening these protections at a high cost kids' and families' health. safernotsicker.org

One more reason why we must invest in public health research, outbreak investigation, global health, and infrastructure. www.huffpost.com/entry/hantav...

The global hunger and health emergency unfolding right now is the direct consequence of Trump's war of choice in Iran.

Indiana's religious exemption ruling is a step in the right direction for both abortion rights and religious freedom. CAP's Sally Steenland explains for @rewirenewsgroup.com: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/04/16/abortion-is-a-religious-freedom-opinion/

In response to Sec. Hegseth's uninformed and dangerous decision, @drjudystone.bsky.social lays out the history of infectious disease and the role of vaccines in preserving military readiness. www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

After dismantling vaccine infrastructure, spreading false information, and discouraging vaccination since coming into office, RFK Jr now claims he has no responsibility for U.S. measles outbreak. RFK Jr. must be held accountable for the harms he has caused. www.americanprogress.org/article/rfk-...

Data centers must be held responsible for rising electricity costs and the environmental impact on local communities.

Trump’s budget makes it clear his priority is NOT American families. CAP's @bbkogan.bsky.social breaks it down:

The most popular policies that voters support in this poll include funding public research for cures, requiring routine childhood vaccines, and limiting pesticide use in agriculture. Americans are paying the price of an administration that has put politics over science and health.

HEALTH ALERT: More evidence that the Trump administration is breaking its “Make America Healthy Again” promises and prioritizing corporate polluter profits over Americans' health and wellbeing: @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy, @kffhealthnews.org: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

It took a minute to find a public health success among lots of setbacks during national public health week. Let's hope this effort continues toward a publicly available, accessible, affordable vaccine.

For public health week, @americanprogress.bsky.social outlines how to cut health care costs, the top economic stress for millions of Americans: ✔️ Lower premiums ✔️ Cut deductibles ✔️ Stop price gouging ✔️ End prior authorization www.americanprogress.org/article/a-pa...

During national public health week we can advocate for healthier and safer communities to protect our children from toxins and chemicals www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

It's National Public Health Week! Join us April 6-12 as we recognize the many ways public health has improved our daily lives, safeguarded our families, expanded our life spans and strengthened our communities www.nphw.org #NPHW

During Public Health Week, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social wants to thank all of the local health departments who are serving their communities in the face of chaos and funding cuts from RFK Jr. Their work is critical and often invisible. We see you, and we are grateful for you.

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...

CAP's expert, Greta Bedekovics, answers the most googled questions about the anti-voter SAVE Act and the SAVE America Act.

Fossil fuel subsidies don't lower your energy bills—they pad Big Oil's profits. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/5-hidden-ways-the-government-rigs-the-market-in-favor-of-fossil-fuels/

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
