A year into RFK Jr.’s disastrous run at HHS, the results are exactly what we thought: instability, dangerous misinformation, and weakened public health.
I worked with @wyden.senate.gov on a 71-page report documenting the consequences of this chaotic year.
Accountability matters.

2025: "the 1% got a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts, the Trump family got $1.4 BILLION richer, & Americans paid $192 BILLION in tariff-related costs."
Trump’s 1st year in office had the worst job growth this decade, excluding COVID.
In that same year, the 1% got a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts, the Trump family got $1.4 BILLION richer, & Americans paid $192 BILLION in tariff-related costs.
Working people are getting fleeced.

U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The SAVE America Act would impose outrageous voter suppression requirements on American citizens.
One example: married women who take their spouse’s name & whose last name may not match their birth certificate. Do they not get to vote?
