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.”

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.
