The hepatitis b vaccine has proven itself over 30-40 years and a bajillion doses. We don’t have to pretend we are starting from scratch here. The numbers speak for themselves.

As always, exceptional reporting from @melodyschreiber.com!!! HERE IS PHASE 1 OF THE PLAN: We have conversations open with Congress and internationally. SUFS is now an NGO based in Switzerland and our team is headed to Geneva next week. Meetings are scheduled! IN THE MEANTIME: WE NEED YOU.

There's a plan to pull voting machines from more than half the states five weeks before an election. No court. No legislature. One Cabinet secretary and a "national security" memo. Read this before someone tells you it's about safety. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I’m just glad Kushner and Witkoff weren’t around to negotiate a “win-win” for Germany and Japan in 1942.

Today, I started the day debate prepping with my team, then watched my daughter’s soccer game, went grocery shopping, watched my son’s football practice, and made us all dinner. But yeah, I’m totally a “radical lunatic.”

CNBC - Meta’s Louisiana data center investment to reach $50 billion, aided by generous tax incentives WHY IS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD GETTING TAX INCENTIVES??? THEY ARE BRIBING LOCAL OFFICIALS

SCOOP: The CDC told state and local health programs that they have to align with the agency's new priorities -- including a move away from proven overdose prevention and a greater focus on "parental authority" in education. They got five days to align. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Disappointing. A heads down approach will not win in the long run. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/u...

Reminder. Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee said the quiet part out loud. #HandsOffSocialSecurity #ScrapTheCap

Mike Johnson just told you the quiet part out loud: Republicans have a plan to gut Social Security next year. They’re waiting until after the midterms so you can’t vote against it. Don’t let them wait you out. Make this an issue that matters this November. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

This is literally bonkers.

The rarely-discussed AHRQ is the only agency doing the critical work of health systems research, funding, and training needed to better understand what works and what saves or wastes money in healthcare. We can’t let this agency be erased!

An emerging contageous virus, like a flu virus, will easily spread in the confines of a military base or a military operation…unless the troops are vaccinated. So the brilliant leaders of HHS and DOD decide to stop protecting the troops by no longer requiring flu vaccination. In 1918, before

📢 AACP joined national pharmacy organizations in a joint statement expressing concern over recent CDC ACIP charter changes that overemphasize vaccine risks while underweighting the proven benefits and disease prevention outcomes of vaccination. Read the full statement: t.co/2D3kxEIIYO

This week's Whopper is about the peptide debate at the FDA and the fact that Sec Kennedy has been pushing for a legal route to their manufacture despite safety concerns and a lack of efficacy data.

Communities across the nation are recognizing the important role public health plays in our daily lives during National Public Health Week. Among those is the County Council of Montgomery County, Maryland, which marked the observance with a proclamation today. youtu.be/zGaMZ0Mx054?... #NPHW

Public health strengthens our communities and saves lives. But that work takes support. This #NPHW, tell your members of Congress to stand up for public health funding for CDC, HRSA and beyond. Your voice matters! It's fast and easy with our APHA action alert: vist.ly/4xmf2
