It’s official: Measles is no longer a disease that is eliminated in the US. I can’t emphasize enough how catastrophic a failure this is when a vaccine that is 97% effective exists. cnn.com/2026/11/13/health/us…

The U.S. has lost its measles elimination status for the first time since 2000 under RFK Jr. 314 Action’s 16 newly elected Democratic doctors and scientists in Congress will hold him accountable for this deadly public health failure. wsj.com/health/u-s-loses-mea…

This is unacceptable. We spent decades making progress against a deadly but preventable disease, only to see that progress undermined repeatedly by RFK Jr. and Donald Trump’s anti-science rhetoric. Vaccines are safe. Vaccines save lives. Our kids deserve better.

The United States has officially lost its measles elimination status amid the largest outbreak in 35 years. In 2026 alone, the CDC has reported more than 5,400 cases.

A crowning achievement for U.S. public health has been tossed in the dustbin of history by this administration. No one bears more blame for this preventable and deadly health crisis than Donald Trump and RFK Jr. They promised to make America healthy again, then did everything in their power to bring measles back from the dead.
An independent commission of experts that reports to the director of the Pan American Health Organization determined that the US no longer qualified as having eliminated measles, a source close to the process told CNN. cnn.it/48hM1hO

Vaccines and routine care like vitamin K are safe and effective. RFK Jr: By continuing to spew misinformation, you are actively putting newborns in danger.

It was great to spend time with fellow physicians in the Democratic Doctors Caucus during New Member Orientation. We’ve cared for patients in different parts of the country, but we’ve all seen what happens when people can’t afford the care they need. In the ER back home in Arizona, I’ve seen patients wait until they couldn’t wait any longer because they were worried about the bill. I’ll carry that experience with me into Congress. I’m looking forward to working with this group and with colleagues in both parties to lower health care costs and help people get care before it becomes an emergency.

If Calley Means is saying DONT confirm Heidi Overton, how in the world is Cassidy still undecided? Please fade into the shadows of time.
Over the last several months, I have had several frank conversations with both Dr. Overton and Mr. O’Neill about their visions, roles, and the lack of trust that exists due to broken promises and irresponsible decisions from other officials within the Administration. I appreciate their ongoing candid conversations. While I remain undecided on both of their nominations and am aware that other Republican members of the Committee are undecided as well, the Committee is moving forward with noticing their markup in the hopes of resolving their path forward one way or another this Congress.

Washington needs more people making decisions based on science, data, and facts — not politics. Excited to see how these engineers, scientists, and doctors help our country solve hard problems.

MAHA v MAGA. Looks like that marriage of convenience is at an end. The RFK Jr disciples actually thought he would be able to get Trump to put his wealthy donors at Big Food over their agenda. Can’t say we didn’t warn them.

Trump Admin doubling down on anti-vaxx with new COS 👇👇
Katie Miller, actually, is the strongest MAHA soldier in this administration. Stephen and Katie didn’t vax their younger kids. She has always been the queen mommy in the center of the MAGA-MAHA Venn diagram, while ALSO staying a close and noisy Musk defender - she’s been building power w all 3 legs of the heinous GOP stool. Katie is the Kraken

I have questions for you. Will you come answer? #DrainTheSwamp
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.

The election is over. The work for Arizona is just beginning. I’m ready to get to work lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and safeguarding our water. I’m honored by the trust the voters have placed in me, and I’m committed to listening, working across the aisle, and delivering for Arizona’s First District.

No surprises here. RFK Jr. is the most dangerous and corrupt health secretary in history — he’s the grifter-in-chief and the MAHA agenda was always at odds with powerful special interests. Money > MAHA in the White House.

New members of Congress, who include a record number of Democratic doctors, nurses, scientists and engineers, will help shape the health agenda next year. They are expected to intensify their oversight of RFK Jr. with newfound subpoena power. wapo.st/4iGJAdm
