RFK Jr. has betrayed millions of Americans like me who suffer from chronic illness
OPINION: “According to research published by the CDC, 3 in 4 Americans have a chronic illness. That’s nearly 200 million people, and Kennedy is helping none of us,” Effie Seiberg writes.

Today #NIH leadership were told no funds can go out for research project grants, R&D contracts or training grants.

We have just a couple weeks to get funds out the door before Russel Vought attempts a #PocketRescission on Aug 15.

Even if this ends up being temporary, it’s time we don’t have.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

People, who are unvaccinated or never had it, should quarantine for 21 days if exposed to #Measles. Wear a mask! Wearing a mask won’t completely prevent spread, but it will help lower the chances of them spreading measles to others. @phlpublichealth.bsky.social warns.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
