All those health jobs cut…and $0 saved. Because the executive branch doesn’t set the budget. Saving money was never the point.

.@SecKennedy: “I was told when I came into this job that I had to cut across my agency by 12.5% because we’ve got a $40 trillion national debt…The two sub-agencies that I was able to SAVE from any cuts was @IHSgov and Head Start, and both of those affect Indian Communities.”

Nothing says "we'll restore trust in public health" like constantly calling people who disagree with you demons.

Overton catching more strays from Calley Means: "To me, the fact that Heidi Overton is now going to be the FDA commissioner, who was trying to block psychedelics without understanding what they were -- it's just a representation of the demonic nature of DC"

Draining the swamp is a mandate, and we have an obligation to deliver. Entrenched interests have exercised power in Washington under both parties for decades. President Trump and I intend to keep fighting until the American people—not corporate influence—drive our health policies.

I stand firmly behind President Trump and the historic reforms we are advancing together.

In less than two years, this administration has rewritten federal dietary guidelines to emphasize real food, secured commitments from major food companies to remove petroleum-based synthetic dyes and other additives, launched systematic reviews of chemicals already in our food supply, and proposed requiring companies to notify the FDA before introducing ingredients they independently deem safe. These are concrete steps toward accountability that Americans demanded.

We have hundreds of other accomplishments but there's still more work to do. We must finish food-ingredient reform, advance our work on ultra-processed foods, and put children’s health at the center of federal policy. I will keep pressing those priorities across this administration and work with anyone in either party who will help deliver them.

The American people deserve a government that puts their health first. President Trump gave me a mandate to put prevention at the center of health care and end the chronic disease epidemic to Make America Health Again.

Yeah but a core tenet of evidence-based medicine is that we should only consider the practices of countries that start with D and end in enmark
