Exciting news! We’re very pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Workplace #Cancer #Research Grants. Every year, an estimated 10,000 workers in Canada are diagnosed with work-related cancers – so this research is vital to keeping all of Canada’s workers healthy:

The US government has cut off funding for PubChem. This is a critical resource for health and safety practitioners and researchers alike. Defunding this database puts workers and workplaces at risk of harm.

Florida's decision to end school vaccine mandates is a blaring 5 star alarm. School vaccinations date back a century. This will cause great harm everywhere as unvaccinated kids travel in the US & globally.
We'll see a frightening return of diseases that have long been eliminated

I work in industrial ceramics manufacturing. My plant also produces cast iron and glass.
Without well-managed air filtration and access to NIOSH approved respirators and dust masks, workers like me will be at increased risk of lung conditions like silicosis & mesothelioma, and other organ damage.

🚨 Trump’s HHS just gutted NIOSH—laying off 85% of staff and shuttering key science programs.
🧪 Cancer research for firefighters? Halted.
😷 Respirator safety testing? Ceased.
📉 Decades of public health and worker safety science in jeopardy.

Let me translate these numbers.
Trump supporters support Trump, and for most, nothing could get them to tell a pollster otherwise.
But some of them think the Congressional GOP isn't supporting him enough.
Meanwhile, Trump critics oppose Trump and think Dems are doing a poor job of opposing him.

Leader @schumer.senate.gov ranks dead last in public confidence on the economy—20 points behind Trump. Yet he still thinks he can stop a budget that hands tax cuts to billionaires and guts Medicaid.
People are terrified for their future. We need leadership that’ll actually fight back.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.
