In New Hampshire, I announced one of the most ambitious federal efforts ever undertaken to combat Lyme disease.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are accelerating research, driving innovation, improving care for patients and families, and attacking Lyme disease at its source.
Thank you, @POTUS, for 500 historic days of leadership. Together, we are confronting chronic disease by putting prevention first. That is how we Make America Healthy Again. 🇺🇸
Today, @SecKennedy, @SecRollins, and @RealBenCarson visited Charity Hill Farm — a family-owned regenerative cattle farm in Virginia. Family farms are critical to helping strengthen our food system, improve nutrition, and create healthier futures for American families. 🇺🇸🐂🌱
The MAHA movement doesn't stop with what we EAT — It's also about what we WEAR.
For decades, America offshored textile jobs and allowed foreign synthetic, plastic-based materials to take over the clothing market.
Together with @SecKennedy, the Great American Cotton Plan puts American-grown cotton FIRST again: supporting our farmers, strengthening U.S. manufacturing, and giving families a natural choice.
🎥 This Week at HHS-OIG, we focus on a $90M Medicaid fraud takedown in Minnesota and critical gaps in Medicare’s inpatient rehabilitation facility requirements. Watch now!
Fraudsters have been treating Medicaid like a piggy bank, but it ends now.
Ohio is showing what happens when data meets accountability. We followed the money and caught the crooks.
And we’re not done yet. See you again soon, Ohio.
I sat down with Dr. Leo Trasande to discuss the growing evidence linking microplastics and toxic chemicals to chronic disease, fertility decline, metabolic disorders, and developmental health.
This is a conversation about what’s happening to our bodies, our environment, and our future—and what we can do to change course.

.@SecKennedy: “Today, @HHSgov is announcing three new LymeX challenges with up to $2.5 million in total prize funding to accelerate innovation, expand public awareness, and improve the care for patients.”
By reducing tick populations and disrupting their breeding cycles, HHS aims to slow the spread of Lyme disease and protect more Americans from infection. We’re taking action to cut Lyme disease cases by 25% by 2035 compared to 2022 levels.
The gaslighting is over. @HHSgov is taking action on Lyme disease:
✅ Held a series of roundtables featuring physicians treating Lyme disease
✅ Launched a program to develop protocols for treatment
✅ Focusing on reforms for specialized diagnostics and treatments
✅ Introduced a website to help patients find Lyme disease specialists
✅ Educating doctors across the country on how to recognize Lyme disease
Today, @HHSGov is launching a major new multi-million-dollar pilot program that has the potential to transform how we prevent Lyme disease and other tick borne illnesses in America.
