How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month?

We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories.

Universal school meals are a 2 for 1 policy solution.

Research shows universal meals

1) improve achievement and attendance

2) lower grocery bills AND put competitive pressure on grocery chains to lower prices.

We don’t need fancy schemes and theories. Just common sense.

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

I believe that there are many people who realize that parenting isn't for them.

They put their children in harms way to "take their chances" leaving kids unvaccinated in the hope, or expectation, the kid will die if it's "God's will!"

Then it's not their fault & they can get on with their life.
