This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them."

How Trump Broke Corporate America’s Most Valuable Consultant Businesses are begging the White House and RFK Jr. to rethink their massive cuts to Niosh, a workplace research agency that saves the US billions of dollars a year.

Asbestos. Silica. Black lung. Lead.

NIOSH is the research agency you've never heard of (and the whole world relies on) to keep workers safe on the job and help businesses create healthier workplaces.

And Trump/DOGE cuts have decimated it.

We demand her release & care. Please share widely!
