Public health is under assault. The purge of CDC leadership, people with decades of experience guiding the nation’s response to health threats, dismantles the very programs and direction that keep Americans safe from infectious diseases, chronic illness, injuries, and violence.…

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else…
Congress is considering drastic cuts to scientific research, and America’s health, security and prosperity hang in the balance.

Secretary Kennedy's statement to Gavi, the vaccine alliance, is literally sickening. Sickening because millions of children’s lives are in the balance because of Mr. Kennedy’s fringe beliefs and misinformation on vaccines.
RFK Jr.’s worldview reflects an idealized version of America - where everyone has access to healthy food, quality care, and the luxury to micro-optimize their wellness. But public health isn’t about serving those already thriving. It’s about protecting everyone: preventing…

As an epidemiologist I feel like I cant breathe. I genuinely cant breathe having to act normal. Like nothing is happening. Like people arent going to die because a cult is in charge of the country. They are a cult. Republicans are a fascist death cult. Firing ALL cancer doctors &…
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen. washingtonpost.com/health/2025/06…
Tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare. Congressional Republicans are working to cut nearly $1 trillion in healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy…but they’re not coming right out to say that. 3 ways they’ll try to spin it.🧵📽️👇🏻
ICYMI: Trump has released his 2026 budget that include cuts for: NSF: -56% NIH: -40% EPA: -55% CDC: -33% NASA: -24% Make no mistake - this is not just trimming the budget. These cuts are a direct attack on U.S. research, innovation, and public health.
Congress is rushing through cuts to Medicaid that will rip health care away from millions of Americans. Now is the time to share our stories and demand they stop these cuts to our health care! @FamiliesUSA #HandsOffMedicaid #MyHealthCareStory familiesusa.org/follow-health-…
Trump officially entered the psychotic emperor phase. He’s not coming back. The Pope image was it. That was the line. He crossed it and kept walking. This isn’t trolling anymore. This is clinical delusion. The tariffs on movies. Reopening Alcatraz. These aren’t policies. This is…
This chart unfortunately says it all. NIH funding for new research grants under Trump 2025 is falling far far behind past administrations. This isn’t just slowing science - it is undermining America’s global leadership in research and innovation.
Deaths from heart disease down 75% - that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75% - that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence - that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade - that’s NIH.
