Two Republican senators introduced draft legislation to reform child care for low-income families after fraud was uncovered in Minnesota and other blue states. Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., are asking stakeholders for feedback on the draft of a bill to amend the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, a program to help low-income families afford child care. The program has not been reauthorized since 2014. “Every dollar stolen is a dolla

Sixteen years ago, President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, thus locking into statutory concrete the dysfunctional status quo that burdens us today. Recall this was Obama’s “signature” legislative achievement. Of course, Obama’s congressional allies knew exactly what they were doing. They conscientiously read and fully grasped the 2,700-page product they were enacting. Right? Well, not to worry, said then-Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “We have to

The Department of Health and Human Services is protecting parents’ rights to keep their children under their care, according to Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brian Christine. “If you have a set of parents and their child has gender dysphoria and there are threats to remove that child from your care, that’s absolutely wrong,” Christine told The Daily Signal in an exclusive interview. The HHS Administration for Children and Families wrote a letter to state child welfare a

Planned Parenthood just can’t wait until July 4, 2026. That’s the day taxpayers will have to start subsidizing the abortion industry all over again.   How did this happen? Answer: The defunding of abortion providers has an expiration date. The reason? Weak negotiating by Senate Republicans. The One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025, includes several policies aimed at benefiting families through tax relief, credits, and new savings o

A medical watchdog is calling on the Food and Drug Administration to investigate companies that allow Americans to purchase sex-rejecting drugs without a prescription, in pursuit of transgender identity. Do No Harm released a report titled “The Lack of Barriers to Minors Ordering Cross-Sex Hormones Online” Tuesday. It highlights certain websites that may enable minors to obtain estrogen and testosterone from online pharmacies and other sources that do not appear to require pr

The MAHA PAC is launching a $100 million fundraising campaign to bolster “Make America Healthy Again” candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump in the 2026 midterms. The MAHA PAC, a Robert F. Kennedy-aligned super PAC dedicated to “Making America Healthy Again,” hopes to “counter the influence of Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Ag, which are funneling massive resources to Democratic opponents in a desperate bid to derail the transformative health reforms spearheaded by [Hea

When President Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing production of the pesticide glyphosate, conservative influencer Alex Clark received hundreds of messages from Make America Healthy Again advocates saying they would no longer vote Republican.  “I have received hundreds of DMs saying I’m either not voting in the midterms or I’m considering not voting because this was such a massive issue,” Clark told The Daily Signal.  Removing pesticides and chemicals from the

Former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may seem like unlikely bedfellows, but not when you consider that they share a common enemy: ultra-processed foods.  Both have openly declared war on these highly addictive, unhealthy products, which range from 4,000 to 10,000 ingredients, making them difficult to regulate. Both believe that at the heart of the enormous health crisis (people in the U.S. get half of their calories from ultra-proc

A fitness video featuring Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and musician Kid Rock has gone viral, with both saying it was meant to encourage Americans to adopt healthier habits. " This is one we definitely wanted to go viral," Kid Rock told Fox News on Sunday. "I actually shot one before this, and I wanted to put it out just for people who enjoy what I do, the fans, because, like myself, I needed this message [to] hit hard about five years ago, and I k

The new dietary guidelines released this year target ultra-processed foods while promoting protein and easing up on saturated fats. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz told Fox News Digital the guidelines should have happened a long time ago. "We've gotten America to realize what we've all, in medicine, known for quite a while — [that if] you eat healthy fats, the right amount of carbohydrates and focus on protein, you're much better off," said Oz in a recent on-camera interview.

The Department of Health and Human Services announced new resources to make drug abuse treatment more affordable and accessible for families at risk of entering the foster care system. HHS’ Administration for Children and Families will announce that three Food and Drug Administration-approved medications for Opioid Use Disorder meet eligibility criteria for Title IV-E, a federal funding program supporting families involved with the child welfare system. The agency says expand

Republicans can “win big” in midterm elections if they “unwrap the gift of MAHA” that President Donald Trump has handed them, according to a new memo from Tony Lyons, president of MAHA Action. Four to six percent of former non-Trump voters cited the “Make America Healthy Again,” or MAHA, movement in explaining their decision to switch their support to him and the Republican Party in 2024, according to Trump’s go-to pollster, Tony Fabrizio. But the Republican Party is just “re

Following last week’s launch of TrumpRx, a federal government-based prescription drug platform, doctors are speaking about its potential benefits for consumers — and also its limitations. The platform, which can be accessed at TrumpRx.gov, allows patients to access "large discounts on many of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country," according to the statement on The White House website. The goal is for consumers to get the lowest available pricing among

After years of backing the legalization of marijuana in the U.S., The New York Times changed course in an editorial published Tuesday. In the piece, entitled "It’s Time for America to Admit That It Has a Marijuana Problem," the editorial board stated that the U.S. "has recently gone too far in accepting and even promoting its use." This is a stark departure from the publication’s longtime support of making marijuana mainstream. In a 2014 editorial, the Times argued the federa

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking his Make America Healthy Again agenda to Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday to rally support from voters for the Trump administration’s health policies. Tennessee marks Kennedy’s second stop on his "Take Back Your Health" tour this year in the lead-up to the 2026 elections, and he is likely to address various health policy goals from President Donald Trump. Healthcare will likely be a major motivator for vote

On New Year’s Eve, Lee Zeldin did something out of character for an Environmental Protection Agency leader who has been hacking away at regulations intended to protect Americans’ air and water. He announced new restrictions on five chemicals commonly used in building materials, plastic products and adhesives, and he cheered it as a “MAHA win.” It was one of many signs of a fragile collaboration that has been building between a Republican administration traditionally supportiv

Across the country, nurses appear to be taking up arms—or rather, syringes—in the name of opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement or President Donald Trump. Hospitals and authorities have quickly responded to prevent any harm, but the trend suggests nurses might seek to weaponize their profession to advance their political views. The largest nurses’ union has called for the abolition of ICE. Injecting ICE On Tuesday, Virginia Commonwealth University Health announced that

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization, the United Nation’s agency charged with supporting global health. Last week, he finalized that action, ending all funding, personnel support, and formal engagements.   Trump’s action is hardly precipitous. In fact, when he indicated his desire to disengage from the WHO in 2020, he noted that his decision was largely driven b

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is launching a study on whether radiation from cellphones could harm Americans' health. "The FDA removed web pages with old conclusions about cellphone radiation while HHS undertakes a study on electromagnetic radiation and health research to identify gaps in knowledge, including on new technologies, to ensure safety and efficacy," HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said in a statement to Fox News Digital. The study is part of a s

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed the details of his extreme, highly restrictive diet centered on meat and fermented foods. "I’m on a carnivore diet," Kennedy said during a recent interview on USA TODAY's "The Excerpt" podcast. Kennedy said he follows the diet the "whole day," every day. "That may not be right for other people, but I lost 40% of my visceral fat within a month," he said on the podcast, referring to the fat that surrounds inter
