What a week for MAHA!

Major victories and bold leadership are fueling unstoppable momentum.

Check out this week’s biggest moments for the MAHA movement.

Thread🧵 Image
Before diving in, this week wasn’t just packed with big MAHA wins—it also marked a major celebration: the first 100 days.

Check out our thread below for a breakdown of what we’ve accomplished together so far.
MAHA kicked off the week with RFK Jr. joining Dr. Phil.

He dropped major news—including plans to explore banning pharmaceutical ads, a move that should fire up the entire movement.

“There is a very bad Supreme Court decision on free speech and commercial advertising.”

“When you buy a pharmaceutical drug, my agency in most cases is gonna have to pay for it.”

“So the taxpayers are paying for it.”

“So it's a very unusual product in that way.”

“The taxpayers are paying for the ad, and then the person who gets that product is billing the government for it.”

“We're looking at this now with the White House, and ways we can get by that Supreme Court decision.”
He closed that interview giving MAHA what his top three priorities are at this moment.

“Getting the bad ingredients out of food, making sure the vaccines are safe, and making sure baby formula is safe and is available.”

“Those are of my top priorities.”

This week’s interview was packed with jaw-dropping moments. Don’t miss our thread breaking down the biggest highlights!
The very next day, MAHA got more great news—food companies are already changing their ingredients to comply with RFK’s new standards.

America's largest food company makes major recipe change to appease RFK Jr that'll change taste of snacks:

“PepsiCo has announced that it has already started phasing out artificial ingredients.”

“The food giant's CEO, Ramon Laguarta, said that it would continue to transition products such as Cheetos, Lay's, Tostitos and Doritos to be more natural in response to a change in consumer preferences.”Image
MAHA’s accomplishments aren’t going unnoticed.

At his 100-day rally, President Trump gave RFK a shoutout for some of his early wins.

“I established the new presidential commission to Make America Healthy Again, chaired by our new Secretary of HHS, RFK Jr.”

“He's doing a good job.”

“He's a great guy.”

“Bobby announced that we're banning eight major artificial dyes from our food supply.”
Then, another state joined the MAHA movement.

Florida has passed a bill banning fluoride from public drinking water. Image
President Trump held a cabinet meeting where RFK revealed shocking information about the former HHS administration.

“During the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and for sex and for slavery.”

“We have ended that.”

“We're very aggressively going out and trying to find these 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.”
RFK Jr. then joined NewsNation to break down major MAHA policy wins.

One of his answers was so powerful, it left the entire panel speechless.

Watch the moment and more in the thread below👇🏻
RFK also announced that placebo tests will be required for ALL new vaccines.

HHS Spokesperson: “All new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo-controlled trials prior to licensure.” Image
Right before the weekend, another state decided to go MAHA!

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry: “I have signed an executive order banning soda and candy purchases from Louisiana’s food stamp program.”
To close out the week, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya joined Fox & Friends with a clear mission:

He’s committed to restoring the American people’s trust in the NIH.

“People just don't trust the NIH anymore.”

“The NIH during the pandemic, leaned into lockdowns, school closures, and all these things.”

“I think there's still a level of distrust that the American people have for the NIH that I'm hoping under President Trump we can reverse.”

🇺🇸 100 Days of MAHA 🇺🇸

Under President Trump and RFK Jr, America is beginning to reclaim its health.

The Make America Healthy Again initiative has delivered results in just 100 days.

Here’s what’s changed so far…

Thread🧵 Image
The MAHA Commission was launched on February 14 under Executive Order 14212.

Its mission is to tackle the childhood chronic disease epidemic.

Initial strategy proposals are due by May 24.

Final recommendations will come by August 12.
The FDA is eliminating petroleum-based food dyes like Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5.

These dyes have been linked to behavioral and health issues in children.

Natural alternatives are being fast-tracked for approval.

The transition is set to be completed by the end of next year.

Calley Means just told a room full of Food and Pharma lobbyists that they’re poisoning kids.

Lobbyists kept leaving the room with every bombshell he dropped.

“We're the most medicated country in the world—and we're the sickest.”

Watch this incredible interview:🧵 Image
MAHA is not left or right.

MAHA is about unraveling corporate capture.

Calley Means: “Taking a $10 billion subsidy away from soda for kids is not a violation of conservative principles.”

“Is there something not conservative about the USDA nutrition guidelines saying that little children should not eat added sugar and they should eat whole food?”

“This is a corporate capture issue.”

“When the American Beverage Association lobbies tens of millions of dollars to subvert our nutrition programs for low-income children, and subvert our nutrition guidance, 19 out of the 20 advisors on this past USDA nutrition guideline committee were paid for by the food industry or the pharma industry.”

“Correcting those structural imbalances, that bastardization of the market, is an imperative for a free market.”

“We are cutting the incentives and we are driving transparency.”
Lobbyists immediately started leaving the room.

But he was far from done:🧵

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced a plan to revolutionize Medicaid.

For too long, Big Pharma has profited from sickness.

The more sick we are, the more money they make.

RFK and Dr. Oz’s crazy idea is this:

Payments should depend on whether the drug actually works.

🧵Thread Image
RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz just announced an innovative plan to tie Medicaid drug payments to successful results.

“The basic idea is intuitive: payments to manufacturers based on whether the drug actually works for patients.”

“CMS negotiated with manufacturers of the FDA-approved gene therapies for sickle cell disease to create an innovative payment structure.”

“The result was a novel kind of public/private partnership.”

“We anticipate learning from this model and adapting it for future applications.”

“We believe it promises long term savings for the states, but also improving access for Medicaid beneficiaries.”
The mainstream media is hysterical about budget cuts to our health agencies.

But more money has not given us better results.

RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz’s plan will reduce costs and improve care—at the same time.🧵

RFK Jr. and Dr. Marty Makary just made the most important announcement of the year.

🔥The FDA will BAN petroleum-based food dyes.

They SLAMMED “mass psychosis” in the media for ignoring the chronic disease crisis.

MAHA moms made this happen.

🧵Thread Image
Dr. Marty Makary announced that the FDA will BAN “petroleum-based food dyes from the US food supply and medications.”

“For the last 50 years, American children have been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals.”

This is exactly what RFK Jr. pledged to his supporters on the campaign trail.

Now, MAHA is delivering on that promise.
Vani Hari: “Today marks the beginning of restoring trust at the FDA.”

“Secretary Kennedy took our unheard voices to the campaign trail and elevated them all the way up to President Trump.”

Families living with profound autism heard RFK Jr. — and they are grateful.

The media is trying to ERASE them.

“Every second, you’re living in survival mode.”

“He’s talking about my family.”

“Keep talking about it, RFK.”

These are their stories:🧵
There are many Americans with mild autism who live successful lives—and that’s wonderful.

RFK Jr. wasn’t talking about them.

He was talking about families with profound autism—and their stories are heartbreaking.

The media twisted RFK’s words to erase these tragic stories.🧵
“My son would have been a football player.”

“Instead, he wears diapers, he uses a pacifier, he’s non-verbal, he has extreme rages where I think he’s in some kind of pain.”

“No doctor will take him as a patient here in Las Vegas.”

“At 18 months, he had already had his MMR vaccine, at which point the damage became so apparent that Zacky just completely disappeared. He just left, and we were left with the shell that we’re still dealing with.” @ChildrensHD

The media just spun up 4 Big Lies about RFK Jr.’s announcement on the autism epidemic.

No—It’s not all genetic.

No—It’s not just better awareness.

No—RFK did not contradict the CDC.

No—RFK did not undermine trust in science.

We just broke them all down for you:

🧵THREAD Image
Axios claimed RFK Jr. is “contradicting CDC” on the causes of autism.

❌ This is completely FALSE.

The co-author of the CDC report, Walter M. Zahorodny, Ph.D, agreed with RFK Jr.

“It must be triggered or caused by environmental risk factors.”

“Better awareness of autism cannot be driving a disability like autism to increase by 300% in 20 years.”

“Autism went from being a very unusual, rare disability which affected 1 child in maybe 10,000 to being known in every community, every school district.”

“Autism prevalence has increased very dramatically … not only by the CDC ADDM Network active surveillance activities, but it’s increased according to federal IDEA statistics.”Image
In reality, the media is contradicting EPA scientists in their epidemic denial.

RFK Jr. revealed yesterday that “Congress ordered EPA to tell us what year the autism epidemic began.”

“The EPA scientists came back and said it happened in 1989.”

Which is why Kennedy’s investigation into autism will look for “a toxin that became ubiquitous around that time period, and that affected every demographic.”

“We’re gonna find potential exposures that increased during that time period.”
