I’m sure there are many horror stories about sudden spikes in premium rates. This was totally avoidable and exactly why Democrats drew a hard line.

I'm one of the people who will not be receiving my usual SNAP Food Stamps Benefits for the upcoming month of November 2025, and Massachusetts just confirmed today that they will not be paying even a partial amount to those of us who are state residents either.
![Screenshot of a text message alert from the Massachusetts (MA) Department Of Transitional Assistance's (DTA) Centralized Office, which administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamps Benefits Program, timestamped received on 1:35pm EST on Monday, October 27th, 2025, which states the following:
"[DTAMSG]: President Trump is currently choosing to not issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table. You also may have your benefits further cut starting in November because of changes Congressional Republicans and President Trump enacted in the "One Big Beautiful Bill".

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

The NYC tourism board says that NYC holds between 200-250 parades a year. 52 weeks in a year, M-F being 5 days, that’s 260 days right there, meaning approximately 1 parade per weekday, when would the Mayor get anything done going to every parade including new made up parades?

The only way this sort of thing makes sense is if they are against the entire concept of a “public good.” That is, something paid for by the public via taxes, owned by the public via government, and benefitting the public as a whole.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

The United States stands at the brink of one of the most productive eras in cancer research.
Decades of steady federal investment have driven survival rates up from 49% in the 1970s to nearly 70% today. Breakthrough vaccines, targeted therapies, and less toxic treatments are finally within reach.
