3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs

The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in 15 years.
For 15 years, rent has gone up. Groceries are more expensive. Utility bills are higher.
For 15 years, corporations got bigger. Billionaires got richer. And working Americans got screwed.
Americans deserve a raise.

The cover-up…
USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Last year, I fought to replace two inoperable NOAA weather buoys that fishermen rely on to return home safely and not lose valuable days of crab season.

Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to the U.S. government.
Their illegal, arbitrary, and mass federal worker cuts undermine essential services for the American people—right down to the most basic functions of government, to break it beyond repair.
