After dismantling vaccine infrastructure, spreading false information, and discouraging vaccination since coming into office, RFK Jr now claims he has no responsibility for U.S. measles outbreak. RFK Jr. must be held accountable for the harms he has caused. www.americanprogress.org/article/rfk-...
Data centers must be held responsible for rising electricity costs and the environmental impact on local communities.
Trump’s budget makes it clear his priority is NOT American families. CAP's @bbkogan.bsky.social breaks it down:
The most popular policies that voters support in this poll include funding public research for cures, requiring routine childhood vaccines, and limiting pesticide use in agriculture. Americans are paying the price of an administration that has put politics over science and health.
HEALTH ALERT: More evidence that the Trump administration is breaking its “Make America Healthy Again” promises and prioritizing corporate polluter profits over Americans' health and wellbeing: @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy, @kffhealthnews.org: www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...
It took a minute to find a public health success among lots of setbacks during national public health week. Let's hope this effort continues toward a publicly available, accessible, affordable vaccine.

It's National Public Health Week! Join us April 6-12 as we recognize the many ways public health has improved our daily lives, safeguarded our families, expanded our life spans and strengthened our communities www.nphw.org #NPHW
During Public Health Week, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social wants to thank all of the local health departments who are serving their communities in the face of chaos and funding cuts from RFK Jr.
Their work is critical and often invisible. We see you, and we are grateful for you.
A huge win for public health! Thank you to the AAP and other health organizations who stood up for science and health. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...
President Trump said the quiet part out loud. The SAVE Act that Trump is pushing will deny millions of Americans their right to vote.
A line chart from the Center for American Progress shows that crude oil futures have increased 41 percent in the nine days since Operation Epic Fury began, which outpaces similar price increases following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and other recent conflicts.
This reckless war on Iran has raised energy prices like no other. It's outpacing even Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The administration and the EPA have devalued human lives and threatened Americans' health, at the same time the administration and HHS make it harder for Americans to afford health care.

The rise in cellphone use among kids is harming their learning and mental well-being—and some states are limiting or fully banning cellphone use in schools. 📵
CAP's @bbkogan.bsky.social explains the reality of Trump's Big Beautiful Bill: it's a giant tax cut for the richest Americans.
This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.
And Trump dares to talk about fraud and corruption.
President Trump just said, “We lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.”
A reminder of what happened to those 2.4 million Americans:
trump says the economy is roaring like never before, but the unemployment rate keeps ticking up
It’s a turnaround for the ages all right, for manufacturing jobs!
Some things that me and my colleagues at @americanprogress.bsky.social are watching for tonight at the SOTU:
- Exaggerated claims about an economy that added only 181K jobs in 2025, the worst non-recession year in the last 20 years

From his “Liberation Day” tariffs to the deployment of ICE agents in major U.S. cities, President Trump’s State of the Union address is sure to span the gamut. Our CAP experts will be closely watching—follow our starter pack to stay informed: https://go.bsky.app/3TC1naE
