We now have confirmation that RFK Jr. fired Dr. Monarez because she refused to alter the childhood vaccine schedule. These recommendations have kept our children safe, but RFK Jr. wants to change them without any evidence to support that decision.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.
Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.
This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.
