Gutted: How Deeply Trump Has Cut Federal Health Agencies More than 20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform...

Earlier this year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced massive cuts to federal health agencies.

The Trump administration has refused to say how many workers have been lost so far. But a new ProPublica analysis gives a detailed view.

"We sign this declaration in our own personal capacities, on our personal time, and without the use of government equipment, as protected by our First Amendment rights..."

An important thread 🧵

In response to the attack on CDC, the public health community mourns the loss of police officer Rose and denounces acts of harassment and violence against the public health workforce. 20 public health organizations released a statement of support for CDC and its critical work tinyurl.com/bdmp8vby

The shooting targeting CDC, which resulted in the death of a police officer was horrific, and it was completely preventable. Cuts to CDC programs that reduce gun violence and support mental health, and anti-science rhetoric from political appointees set the stage for this senseless act of violence. Something needs to change.

Fired But Fighting’s statement on Friday’s shooting at CDC. For the full statement, visit firedbutfighting.org. Stay tuned for more info.

He called the CDC a cesspool of corruption that lied about the COVID vaccines. Now someone has committed violence because of the same misinformation.

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.

US Health Secretary Kennedy to oust members of US preventive task force, WSJ reports (Reuters) -Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must

🚨Alert:🚨RFK Jr says he will remove all members of USPSTF.
He will replace with his cronies who promote junk science. Members could negatively impact health insurance coverage for preventive screenings, HIV testing, and much more.

📞Call☎️ your reps NOW! Ask for RFK Jr to resign!

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

12.36 Scaramuccis. That’s how long Trump and Elon’s friendship lasted since Trump’s inauguration.

You were right the first time Sec Kennedy: none of us should take medical advice from you.

This administration and HHS Sec are ensuring that the USA loses its measles eradication status this year. We would be better off listening to CDC scientists during this outbreak of measles.

HHS moving to fire probationary employees again, officials say Many probationary workers at the Department of Health and Human Services had been put on paid leave amid court battles with the Trump administration.

The Trump/Musk chainsaw massacre of public services continues.

The Trump Admin has said that these patriotic public servants have been fired for performance. That was a BIG LIE. If poor performance were the test, it’s Trump, Musk and the billionaire cabinet who should be FIRED.

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut.

Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty.

Call your reps.

CDC faces backlash for cutting sickle cell, adult disability programs Nearly half of the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities was laid off.

Nearly half of CDC's developmental disabilities and birth defects center is now off the job

This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung.

His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.

I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

HHS gutted programs to help people quit smoking. The impact could be deadly. Cuts to the CDC and the FDA, experts say, could reverse hugely successful campaigns to reduce cigarette smoking rates and curb teen vaping.

Former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden nailed it: “The only winner here is the tobacco industry and cancer cells.”

Cutting smoking prevention programs is a gift to Big Tobacco.

Thanks for Making America Healthy Again, Bobby! 🙄

The CDC has literally been gutted today.

There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet.

Thousand of scientists fired.
Entire departments erased.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Ex-CDC workers holding out hope for reinstatement as deadline for federal judge's ruling passes Monday was a deadline for some federal workers to be reinstated. Three former CDC employees told 11Alive they still have received no guidance.

I was wrongfully terminated from the CDC, along with hundreds of others. The agency claimed poor performance despite an outstanding annual review just days prior. A federal judge ordered our reinstatement, but we have yet to receive any guidance or info. #firedfeds www.11alive.com/article/news...
