RFK Jr has fired all 17 members of CDC’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. The US now has no CDC director and no ACIP. Control of US vaccines is concentrated in the office of an HHS Sec who doesn’t believe any vaccine is safe and effective. wsj.com/opinion/rfk-jr…






🚨 The Dept. of Labor planned to close Ottumwa’s Job Corps campus on an unworkable timeline. After pushing back, and help from Iowans on the ground, I helped secure an extension through end of June. Now we’re working to hold the DoL accountable to ensure the 200+ students have a transition plan in place. I’m committed to our trade schools and apprenticeship programs—and most importantly helping Iowans students get on a pathway to success! These students aren’t stats—they’re success stories.

This so-called “big, beautiful bill” is anything but. From cutting Medicaid and leaving millions without health care to SNAP cuts, which will cause more hunger, this bill will hurt Americans – not help them. I believe in putting our people first. Leaders in D.C. should too.
