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...

Sara Rosenbaum & Richard Hughes IV argue that ACIP's actions violate the Administrative Procedure Act and Congress can and must take action. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

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...

On Deadline D.C. with @bradbannon.bsky.social, CAP's @nzmurphy.bsky.social explains the urgent need to extend the ACA's enhanced tax credits: "We right now are staring down the cliff of pretty much a premium affordability crisis."

MAHA advocates and everyday Americans are urging President Trump to fire EPA head Lee Zeldin for rolling back "important safeguards designed to protect families" from toxic substances and chemicals and threatening "the health, safety, & future of our nation." www.change.org/p/petition-t...

Senate Republicans’ alternative to extending the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits is not a real health care plan. They will shift more financial risk onto families and undermine marketplace stability. New from @americanprogress.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/sena...

Following ACIP's decision to end the HepB vaccine recommendation for all newborns, limiting protection for children from preventable disease, Trump ordered top health officials to review all U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations. A frightening day for children’s health www.axios.com/2025/12/06/t...

The incredible @drjudystone.bsky.social has a new piece out on what parents should make of Temu ACIP’s new HepB vaccine recommendations.

Today is a dark day for children's health—RFK Jr.'s hand-picked CDC committee did this.

CAP's statement in response to ACIP's dangerous and unconscionable vote to end recommendations for HepB vaccines for newborns, reversing efforts to protect them from the risk of infection, illness, and death. www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

The process was riddled with inaccuracies, falsehoods, and confusion. The outcome threatens babies and reverses decades of progress in preventing hepatitis B infection, illness, and death. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

This is a frightening day for children’s health. Despite no evidence of vaccine harm, and overwhelming evidence that the birth dose of HepB strongly protects against risk of infection, liver disease & cancer and death, the committee arrived at its preconceived and politically motivated conclusions.

Its always good to see charity, but this donation to children will be much less impactful than it could be 🧵 The problem lies in the faulty design of “Trump Accounts” 1/6

"I think this president thinks we have the world's largest economy ever because of real estate investors. It's not—it's because of science." Sen. Mark Kelly criticizes Trump's cuts to critical scientific research.

ACIP cannot answer why they are reconsidering the HepB vaccine when the preponderance of evidence shows it is safe and effective. Their response: "we need to be humble about what we know." This is how they'll make decisions that will increase preventable disease & affect infant health in the U.S.?

Scientists and experts are pushing back on RFK Jr's ACIP, demanding any specific evidence of harm from the HepB vaccine. None has been provided. Follow the ACIP discussion here ⬇️

Today RFK Jr's ACIP considers delaying/removing the hep B birth dose recommendation, increasing chronic infection in children leading to liver disease. Studies show no benefit to vaccine delay. Since 1991, the birth dose has cut childhood hep B infections by 99%. ACIP: Do not fix what isn't broken.

While the Trump admin slashes the EPA, polluters will emit more toxins and chemicals that could cause millions of avoidable asthma attacks, increase the risk of pregnancy complications and poor birth outcomes, and more. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Flooding poses risks of drowning, waterborne illnesses and infections, respiratory issues, allergic reactions, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptions in health care. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

Experts are now saying that the general public should avoid the CDC website. Vaccine information is full of falsehoods. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/cdc-false-...

Perfect example of how states are on the hook to protect the health and safety of their residents as RFK Jr fuels vaccine skepticism and dismantles the federal vaccine system. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/h...

As the federal government dismantles the national vaccine infrastructure, the burden to protect and preserve access to lifesaving vaccines increasingly falls on states. Read 6 ways states can, and already are, taking action to fill the void. www.americanprogress.org/article/6-wa...

RFK Jr. cut a CDC program that tracks foodborne illness, including cutting tracking of listeria. Meanwhile 6 people have died & at least 27 infected across 18 states due to a listeria outbreak. foodsafetynews.com/2025/09/groups-call-for-rfk-jr-to-resign-because-of-food-safety-other-concerns/

Did you know the bill to end the shutdown eliminates rules to prevent food contamination and foodborne illnesses, even though they are increasing? And it slows efforts to regulate ultra-processed foods, even while RFK Jr touts his MAHA agenda to reduce them? www.levernews.com/shutdown-dea...

The Trump administration has made it clear: it wants to take food away from hungry families—it'll even go to court over it.

Standing up with @apha.org for public health and science!

Please join me at the Rally for the Public’s Health if you can. Public health protects us all. It’s policies and actions to ensure access to vaccines, food safety, clean air and water, reproductive rights, gun violence prevention, and so much more. Visit APHA.org/Rally to RSVP.

I'm excited to share 2 new reports from @americanprogress.bsky.social examining how private equity’s profit-driven model is reshaping U.S. health care—at the expense of patients and communities. Read more ⬇️
