NOAA scientists are among the best in the nation. Cutting #NOAA and #NWS experts risks public safety and makes no economic sense. Their work reduces disaster costs and strengthens preparedness—delivering real value for taxpayers. NOW is the time to support NOAA and NWS in their critical mission.

A child has died in Texas from #measles, which is a vaccine preventable disease. Yet neither the HHS Secretary, nor his department, nor the #CDC has publicly urged parents of unvaccinated children to get their kids vaccinated. The silence is stunning. www.statnews.com/2025/02/27/t...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

A vote to cut Medicaid by $880 billion is basically a vote in favor of mass death.

Take Action Now!!! The proposed house budget would gut Medicaid causing millions to lose their healthcare and forcing seniors out of long term care. It would also significantly cut funding to reduce air pollution and protect clean air. Urge your representative to vote no. Your life depends on it

Spoiler Alert, as a Pulmonary and Critical Care Physician who has taken care of hundreds of COVID-19 patients and too many who died, they were dying of COVID-19. If they get vaccinated, they are much less likely to die. It is a travesty that this man is in this position.

Of course it doesn't matter that congestion pricing was working, as this is part of the broader program of theatrically wrecking shit as part of the broader campaign against any new thing. But it was working incredibly well.

This war on science and public health is short sighted and will lead to increased illness, hospitalizations, and death. Your lives and the lives of your children are being put in harm's way with little thought or oversight. Please speak up and speak out. Silence is complicity.

The most important climate fight in the country right now is in Connecticut. If the investor-owned utilities there succeed in their naked attempt to knock off their top regulator, the chilling effect on other PUC commissioners' willing to challenge utility capture nationally could be devastating.

If you live in CT, it's possible the single most important thing you could do for the climate this year would be to call your state legislators about this.

Yes, and also if you just want to pay less for electricity and gas every month. It's so unheard of for a utility commissioner to order a rate decrease. Basically never happens. Marissa Gillett did it. If you want affordable energy, she's one-of-a-kind best in class.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Ebola has broken out in Uganda and seems likely to spread. Thank goodness we have someone with a solid grasp of infectious disease as incoming head of HHS, and that he can rapidly coordinate the CDC's response with WHO, a partnership that played a key role in containing the big 2014 Ebola outbreak.
