Normally I summarize Executive Orders but this MAHA one is just too good- I have to share the whole thing.

It reads:

“Section 1.  Purpose.  American life expectancy significantly lags behind other developed countries, with pre‑COVID-19 United States life expectancy averaging 78.8 years and comparable countries averaging 82.6 years.  This equates to 1.25 billion fewer life years for the United States population.  Six in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, and four in 10 have two or more chronic diseases.  An estimated one in five United States adults lives with a mental illness.

These realities become even more painful when contrasted with nations around the globe.  Across 204 countries and territories, the United States had the highest age-standardized incidence rate of cancer in 2021, nearly double the next-highest rate.  Further, from 1990-2021, the United States experienced an 88 percent increase in cancer, the largest percentage increase of any country evaluated.  In 2021, asthma was more than twice as common in the United States than most of Europe, Asia, or Africa.  Autism spectrum disorders had the highest prevalence in high-income countries, including the United States, in 2021.  

Similarly, autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis are more commonly diagnosed in high-income areas such as Europe and North America.  Overall, the global comparison data demonstrates that the health of Americans is on an alarming trajectory that requires immediate action.

This concern applies urgently to America’s children.  In 2022, an estimated 30 million children (40.7 percent) had at least one health condition, such as allergies, asthma, or an autoimmune disease.  Autism spectrum disorder now affects 1 in 36 children in the United States — a staggering increase from rates of 1 to 4 out of 10,000 children identified with the condition during the 1980s.  Eighteen percent of late adolescents and young adults have fatty liver disease, close to 30 percent of adolescents are prediabetic, and more than 40 percent of adolescents are overweight or obese.

These health burdens have continued to increase alongside the increased prescription of medication.  For example, in the case of Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, over 3.4 million children are now on medication for the disorder — up from 3.2 million children in 2019-2020 — and the number of children being diagnosed with the condition continues to rise.  

This poses a dire threat to the American people and our way of life.  Seventy-seven percent of young adults do not qualify for the military based in large part on their health scores.  Ninety percent of the Nation’s $4.5 trillion in annual healthcare expenditures is for people with chronic and mental health conditions.  In short, Americans of all ages are becoming sicker, beset by illnesses that our medical system is not addressing effectively.  These trends harm us, our economy, and our security.

To fully address the growing health crisis in America, we must re-direct our national focus, in the public and private sectors, toward understanding and drastically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic disease.  This includes fresh thinking on nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.  We must restore the integrity of the scientific process by protecting expert recommendations from inappropriate influence and increasing transparency regarding existing data.  We must ensure our healthcare system promotes health rather than just managing disease.”

🧵 “Sec. 2.  Policy.  It shall be the policy of the Federal Government to aggressively combat the critical health challenges facing our citizens, including the rising rates of mental health disorders, obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.  To do so, executive departments and agencies (agencies) that address health or healthcare must focus on reversing chronic disease.  Under this policy:

(a)  all federally funded health research should empower Americans through transparency and open-source data, and should avoid or eliminate conflicts of interest that skew outcomes and perpetuate distrust;

(b)  the National Institutes of Health and other health-related research funded by the Federal Government should prioritize gold-standard research on the root causes of why Americans are getting sick;

(c)  agencies shall work with farmers to ensure that United States food is the healthiest, most abundant, and most affordable in the world; and

(d)  agencies shall ensure the availability of expanded treatment options and the flexibility for health insurance coverage to provide benefits that support beneficial lifestyle changes and disease prevention.”

President Trump signed two Proclamations and three executive orders.

Let’s go through them 🧵 A Proclamation for American Heart month.

“As the Nation’s leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease has stolen infinite lives, crushed countless families, and imposed unimaginable heartbreak upon Americans of every walk of life.”

“My Administration will work diligently to save lives, lower healthcare costs, and foster a stronger, safer, and healthier future for every citizen.”

They say she is not qualified. They say she is a Russian asset. The last thing they want you to know 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐢 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐝.

Here is her career for you to decide for yourself if she should be Director of National Intelligence.

Gabbard was born in American-Samoa and moved to Hawaii at two years old.

“Gabbard was homeschooled all the way through high school, helping her parents with their small family business, Hawaiian Toffee Treasures, as a teenager and co-founding the environmental nonprofit Healthy Hawai‘i Coalition with her father in 2001,” according to Pacific Edge.

She has always been deeply spiritual and prioritized her health and family.

Every single democrat will say RFK Jr. is not qualified, but they won’t tell you the truth. Here is everything RFK Jr has done in his career that makes him fully qualified to run HHS.

Wait til you see Biden’s secretary’s qualifications at the end.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, former U.S. Attorney General and presidential candidate, and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy - both of which were assassinated. His family background is deeply rooted in public service and advocacy.

Growing up, he spent much of his time outdoors and engaged in civil debates with his family.

Here is a thread of each senator in the finance committee and who funds them.

RFK Jr's confirmation hearing is next week. Before the whole senate votes to confirm him, the Finance Committee questions and votes for him.

Keep in mind, they will put on quite the show for their donors. See if any of your senators are below.

🧵 Mike Crapo (R - Idaho)

Not only has Crapo received almost a million from the health care industry, his biggest donor is United Health Group.

Additional donors include Pfizer, Novo Nordisk, and Gilead Sciences.

President Trump’s Executive Orders Part 2 of day one.

He has signed so many it maxed out my last thread!

Here is more👇 Restoring Accountability

“The President must be able to trust that the Executive Branch will work together in service of the Nation.  My Administration will restore a ‘government of the people, by the people, for the people.’”

Here we go. Here is a thread of all of President Trump’s Executive Orders he signed on his first day.

Tell me your favorite at the end!

👇 Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement effective immediately.

My heart absolutely breaks over this.

Michigan will cut down 400 acres of beautiful forest for solar farm.

The DNR says this is to make up for decreasing revenue from hunting and fishing licenses and to work toward the 100% clean energy goal.

Notice something? Notice how the goal isn’t to reduce green house gases? That’s because the forest does more to heal our planet than solar panels. They know this.

Remember, this initiative is from the democrat led state. So while they claim they want to save the planet- they are destroying it.
It’s times like this that I wish I was a lawyer. I would sue the state to put an immediate stop to this project. You can’t replace mature trees after you have cut them down.

This is what RFK Jr will do as Secretary of HHS.

🧵 Ensure we have good safety testing.

“What I want is good testing, good safety testing for vaccines, good efficacy testing so that everybody knows and can make informed consent about whether they want this product or not, whether it’s good for their age group, whether it’s good for their cohort, whether it’s good for them. And let’s do the same kind of safety testing that we require for other drugs and we don’t do that for vaccines.”

The full Kamala Harris interview has not been released - but the transcript has. Let’s fact-check it.

🧵 “Donald Trump left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression, when you look at, for example, the employment numbers.”

False: Unemployment was at 6.7% when Trump left office due to a pandemic. This rate was the same and higher in 2013/2012.
