Proud to stand with doctors, vaccine experts & researchers to demand Sec. Kennedy stop the spread of vaccine misinformation & reverse devastating cuts to research funding. Vaccines are safe & effective. They can save lives.

Remember the Boars Head listeria outbreak that killed 10 people & made 60+ ill? Well a key CDC program will no longer be monitoring for listeria & other foodborne illnesses. Without early detection & intervention—more people will get seriously sick & die.
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses
As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

Research saves lives, cutting research federal funding destroys lives.
I’m hoping my colleagues—especially from red states like Alabama—will read Jake’s powerful account of how important federal funding is in fighting cancer. www.al.com/news/birming...

Our union brother Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was deported due to “an administrative error,” even though he has protected status. Despite a federal judge and Supreme Court order, he still hasn’t come home to his family.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis.

Some elected leaders work tirelessly to eradicate heartbreaking diseases and medical conditions. Meanwhile, others work tirelessly to push more hardship and tragedy into our lives by defunding science.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
This is what bans do.

Democrats limited bank overdraft fees to $5.
This would have saved consumers $5 billion/year, but President Trump & Republicans cater to Big Banks. They’ll let them continue to gouge consumers at the ATM.
This will raise costs on middle & working-class Americans.

Donald Trump now says “couldn’t care less” if prices continue to rise. What happened to lowering the cost of living for the middle and working class?
Instead, Republicans are cutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, threatening healthcare for millions.
