Dear Members of Congress,
This is not the time for civility and negotiations. The President and an unelected private citizen not appointed by Congress to be in a pivotal leadership position are wreaking havoc on our infrastructure and standing in the world. Now is the time to fight.

Getting vaccinated always wins in the end, but sadly some may die or be permanently disabled before some parents reject anti-vax conspiracies and face reality. #Ivax2protect
As the measles outbreak in Texas keeps spreading, parents who previously chose not to vaccinate their children are now lining up to get their kids the shots needed to protect them from the serious illness.
As Texas measles outbreak grows, parents are choosing to vaccinate kids
At least 124 people, mostly babies, children and teens, have been infected. Eighteen people have been hospitalized.

The NIH funding cap on indirect costs will eviscerate scientific research from the inside.
Universities won’t be able to support researchers, biomedical progress will slow, & YOUR health will be harmed.
Plus, widespread economic collapse.

The NIH indirect cost caps will kneecap biomedical research–and everyone will pay the price
This reckless policy will gut scientific innovation, drive researchers out of the US, devastate healthcare, and cause economic collapse.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

RFK Jr says he wants to tackle chronic disease. His war on the HPV vaccine shows otherwise.
RFK Jr. profits by scaring people from a proven cancer prevention: that’s the opposite of combating chronic disease.
