I suspect no one who voted for Trump thought he would let Musk invade their privacy. Right now, inside the Dept of Ed, the world’s richest man is rifling through 45M people’s private student loan accounts and feeding the data into AI. www.aft.org/press-releas... apnews.com/article/trum...

The secretary of HHS oversees the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, Head Start, and other vital government programs that support Americans’ public health, safety and well-being. RFK Jr. is unfit for the job. Tell your senator to vote NO on his confirmation.

Thank you @meiselasb.bsky.social & @meidastouch.com for lifting up nursing voices! RFK Jr. is a threat to public health & unfit to serve as HHS secretary. Tell your senators to OPPOSE his nomination! @nursesforamerica.bsky.social @protectourcare.org www.meidasplus.com/p/meidas-hel...
