Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment.

I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Journalists and media: stop bothsidesing attacks on childhood vaccines. We look to you to report what is happening and what the effects will be, not repeat the administration’s rhetoric. The effects will be more sickness and more death. That is not something to bothsides. Hold power accountable.

The decision by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to downgrade its recommendations to protect infants from hepatitis B is a dangerous move that will harm children.

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm.

As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week…

And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them.

Let’s feed some more people 🍎

RFK Jr’s CDC posting lies about vaccines and autism on their website isn’t just misinformation, it’s intentionally weaponized eugenicist rhetoric that will kill people.

I haven't had enough time to process this yet but,

I've studied the anti-vax movement for 7 years of my career and I can't believe I'm now at the point where I can't recommend the CDC as a trustworthy source of health information.

This is dangerous, insane, and embarrassing.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

The occupation of HHS by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has crossed a line that should be UNACCEPTABLE by any American.

Congress needs to DO THEIR JOB and rid of us of this threat to our health, lives and national security. This is not hyperbole.

This is INTOLERABLE.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

THE LAST TIME HHS, AS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED BY RFK JR., CONDUCTED A “COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT” OF THE CAUSES OF AUTISM THEY BLAMED TYLENOL AND THEN, BECAUSE IT WAS BULLSHIT, HAD TO WALK IT BACK.

The Trump administration has removed reproductive rights from its annual human rights report, omitting critical data about abortion, access to contraception, freedom from discrimination & coercion in health care, & maternal health.

This is a CLEAR attempt to sweep human rights abuses under the rug.

The Israeli military has opened fire and killed at least 67 more Palestinian civilians seeking aid at a designated aid site. The UN reports that Israel has now murdered at least 800 Palestinians seeking aid since late May.

This is genocide. Every politician—Dem or GOP—silent on this is complicit.

It is NOT NORMAL for your government to be working around the clock to take away your access to medical care.

It shouldn’t be this hard to access the basic resources we need to survive and care for our families.
