“The World Trade Center Health Program is a lifeline to 137,000 people—9/11 heroes, volunteers, and those who lived, and worked and went to school in Lower Manhattan,” Feal mentioned. “And these people now who are dealing with severe respiratory illnesses, severe cancers—there’s over 30,000 people with a certified cancer. That means when those people are cut and no longer work for the federal government, they cut 20% of that staff. That staff is responsible for certifying people’s illnesses, that staff is responsible to ensure that there’s no fraud, that staff is responsible to ensure that research continues.”

“The Trump HHS is breaking the sacred promise to always stand by our 9/11 heroes by slashing funding and vital staffing for their healthcare in the World Trade Center Health Program,” he mentioned. “It’s unacceptable. I’m fighting to get Secretary Kennedy to reverse these cuts and firings NOW to provide for those who answered the call of duty on 9/11.”

This comes as Kennedy, beneath the course of the White Home and Elon Musk’s chaotic Division of Authorities Effectivity, fired an estimated 3,600 public well being workers throughout the Nationwide Institutes of Well being, CDC and Meals and Drug Administration over the weekend, prompting workers to name it the “Valentine’s Day massacre.”

DOGE has taken it upon itself to intestine the federal authorities. In lower than a month, it has carried out mass firings or buyouts of presidency company workers at america Company of Worldwide Growth, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Division of Schooling, the FBI, and the CIA.

Whether or not it’s hypocrisy or pathetic fealty to Trump, brave Individuals who risked their lives to save lots of others on 9/11 deserve the care they now want—to not be solid apart by a president and his billionaire ally intent on dismantling human decency.
