314 Action

🎙️ Scientists and doctors "are feeling compelled to take this step into public office because of the onslaught of attacks on public health and on science." LISTEN: 314 Action President Shaughnessy Naughton with @MollyJongFast on @FastPoliticsPod. open.spotify.com/episode/4iYyxc…

Let us never forget the heroic men and women who lost their lives in pursuit of protecting freedom and American values. Today, we honor, mourn, and remember them.

Today, we remember our troops that laid down their life in service to our country. May we honor their sacrifice, not just in words, but in deeds, policy, and respect for what they fought for.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave and selfless men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. May their memories always be a blessing, and may we always remember the extraordinary sacrifices made by our military and their families to defend our freedoms and keep our country safe.

BREAKING: 9th straight poll showing Dr. Shah in the lead. Heading into this Memorial Day Weekend we are eternally grateful for every Mainer showing up for this campaign.

We're living in an age of misinfo around public health. COURIER and @314action are bringing elected officials and thought leaders together on June 11th to discuss what’s at stake, what works, and how evidence-based leadership is delivering real results. bit.ly/3Reoitf

What happened to RFK Jr.'s 'radical transparency'? 🧐

"We don't talk about what this committee does a lot because we haven't had a real need to do that. Other presidents...don't tend to fire members of the committee." Listen as @VinGuptaMD breaks down why RFK Jr.'s firing of the US Preventative Task Force is so dangerous. ⤵️

Thank you, @ScienceMagazine! science.org/content/articl…

“In Maine, as elsewhere in America, the 2026 campaign is exposing a deep sense of democracy disabled. We are beset by problems that grow in severity and seem to exceed democratic institutions’ capacity to fix them. It will be the task of Maine’s next governor to prove that government is up to the task. The kaleidoscope of challenges facing the state are unique in scale and intensity: unaffordable housing, inaccessible healthcare, costs for everything from childcare to elder care that hammer family budgets, climate change that is foreboding and transformative, rogue federal actors trampling citizen rights with impunity and much more… Because the pandemic reached into every part of that life — homes, workplaces, schools, elder-care facilities, hospitals, churches — in confronting it, Shah came to understand the vulnerabilities and aspirations of the people he served. At a recent town hall, Dr. Shah shared a goal that is less well known. Before his years in public health leadership, Shah was an attorney, a background that makes him eager to check the trampling of personal liberties and disregard of state sovereignty by federal actors under President Trump. He sees in Maine’s laws and constitution a muscular basis for protecting personal rights. If elected he is determined to use them to shield our liberties from federal encroachment. For those with vision to see it and skills to grasp it, crises bring opportunity. Nirav Shah has already shown Maine he has those qualities in spades. Today we need him again.” Peter Fromuth Yarmouth pressherald.com/2026/05/21/nir…

RFK Jr. has fired the chairs of the Preventive Service Task Force, which decides which preventive healthcare services insurers must cover. This could threaten coverage for cancer, depression and osteoporosis screenings.

Sen. Baldwin: Over the past 16 months, the Trump Administration has waged war on science. I am not talking about isolated policy disputes or partisan disagreements — I am talking abut systematic dismantling of long-standing research programs and the deliberate erosion of research institutions that make America the global leader in biomedical innovation.

🚨RSVP to join us on June 11 at 2:30 PM ET! ➡️eventbrite.com/e/facts-vs-fic…

NEW SPEAKERS joining Fact v. Fiction—a LIVE virtual event hosted by 314 Action + @CourierNewsroom. 🚀 Senator @CaptMarkKelly 🥼 Dr. @AnnieAndrewsMD Hear from them and: Sen. @Hickenlooper, Rep. Emily Gregory (FL-HD-87), Shaughnessy Naughton, Dr. @VinGuptaMD, and @DrPaulOffit.

They're called "forever chemicals" for a reason. They stay in your body forever. Clean drinking water is a basic need and human right, but this Administration can't even manage that.

📢Dr. Jasmine Clark's victory in #GA13 is history in the making! @jasmineforga will become the first woman PhD scientist and first Black woman PhD scientist in Congress. We're proud to have supported her since 2018 and look forward to working with her in Congress.

Over half of the NIH's top roles are filled with "acting directors"—and RFK Jr. isn't in a hurry to fill them. This is a public health failure. statnews.com/2026/05/20/nih…

📺Senator John @Hickenlooper has delivered for Coloradans, time and time again. And he's not done fighting for us yet. #COSEN Watch his new ad ⤵️

Maybe we'd actually have a sitting Surgeon General if RFK Jr. wasn't committed to advancing unqualified quacks.

Dr. @jasmineforga (#GA13) will join @DanielBiss (#IL09) in Congress after yesterday's win. This is 314 Action's second consecutive cycle victory for a PhD scientist in Congress! It's clear—voters trust scientists on the ballot. And we're leading the charge to elect them. 🔬

We did it. Together. This victory belongs to every volunteer who knocked on doors, made a call, chipped in what they could, and believed in the power of this campaign. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for trusting me to keep fighting for you. Onward to November!
