Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

two ways you can help protect public health next:

- talking about the hearing and what the CDC officials said during it with the folks in your life who are not on here

- call your reps and senators. demand they continue using all their tools to investigate RFK Jr. cap switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Why Your Health Insurance Premiums Could Explode Next Year A perfect storm is coming for Obamacare in 2026.

Alert: The Trump administration is quietly slashing new NIH grant awards, and it's not via the budget NIH’s sudden move to multiyear grant funding is forcing shocking cuts in the number of grants funded. This is an effective budget cut. It's bad, folks.

A funding line of 4% at NCI will have the effect of killing innovation in cancer research. In fact, it may destroy cancer research in the U.S. altogether.

Russell Vought said this is all β€œfun” to him, so that’s who you can thank when a loved one can’t access cutting edge cancer treatment.

Heard from #AHRQ that the entire grants staff has been let go! They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This is outrageous and will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research: #MedSky #HealthPolicy

Exclusive: NIH to dismiss dozens of grant reviewers to align with Trump priorities The move would undo years of work, leaving advisory councils understaffed, and without the full expertise needed for reviews.

NEW: In an unprecedented move, the NIH will soon disinvite dozens of scientists about to take positions on advisory councils that make final decisions on grant funding.

NIH staff were told to select others aligned with the Trump administration and told to expect placements by political appointees.

universities have not yet been hit hard by the budget cuts because we're still running on grants awarded during the last administration. this really shows how badly universities will be hurt, starting next year, when grants start ending and there's nothing to replace them.
