All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

For the rest of my life, I will never understand how a country full of people busting their asses, working paycheck to paycheck, allow the fucking richest guy on Earth to call them "parasites" while calling the Social Security we contributed to our entire lives "a Ponzi scheme."
Un-fucking-real.
He nails it.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities.
Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient.
Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.
Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's moral or ethical. In fact, sometimes moral and ethical behavior is criminalized.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
