Our toddler is happy, healthy & thriving because of a donor. We are beyond grateful every day. Today happens to be #NationalDonorDay - which means it’s a perfect day to register as an organ donor at registerme.org if you haven’t already.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

My daughter was in severe heart failure the first 6 months of her life & too sick for vaccines. Transplant saved her life. A year later, we were finally able to start vaccinating. After feeling so helpless watching her fight for her life, I was grateful to do something that keeps her healthy & safe.

As the mom of a medically complex child, this absolutely boggles my mind. Having my daughter made me appreciate public health & medical science on a whole different level. I can’t imagine gutting institutions that directly help our daughter & countless other kids like her every day.
Incredible: Russ Vought’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and benefits from a “miracle drug” made possible by the National Institutes of Health—an agency Vought now aims to gut as part of the Project 2025 attack www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Project 2025 is gutting medical funding that helped Russell Vought's own kid
Its architect's daughter has cystic fibrosis—and benefits from a "miracle drug" backed by an agency he's attacking.

At 29 weeks pregnant, we learned my daughter had severe CHD. She had a heart transplant at 6 months & is now a thriving toddler. But she is immunosuppressed & can’t get live vaccines like MMR - she relies on herd immunity. Our family needs a strong public health system and we are terrified of #RFK.
