American global aid costs about 0.24% of our national income. It does not impact the aid given to American families in need.
What will hurt families more is the GOP bill to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and other necessary services. We must stop this legislation from becoming law.

Children's Health Defense (CHD), founded by HHS Secretary RFK Jr, has created an imposter webpage that closely mimics a CDC webpage on Autism and Vaccines. It is nefariously seeding disinformation by presenting a seemingly balanced argument on the science supporting and refuting autism and vaccines.

Due to recent layoffs & hiring freezes at NOAA, there are fewer weather balloons sampling this system as it moves & develops.
The remaining meteorologists are warning that this system may be quite significant but advise that their datasets are incomplete at best & lack complete analysis.

🧵What are the Trump administration’s plans for CDC? Read about Project 2025 (P2025) plans here, starting pg 452. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate... CDC should not issue policy statements and should have "limited to no capacity to measure the social costs” of any public health issue.
