America faces more than a chronic disease epidemic that threatens our physical health. We also face a spiritual malaise that undermines our mental health.

Our children are increasingly isolated, fragmented, and anxious, spending more than 8.5 hours a day on screens.

This summer, put down the phone and reconnect with nature, family, and community. It's time to Take Back Your Health. Eat Real Food. Get Active. Together, we will Make America Healthy Again.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

President Donald J. Trump is putting American farmers FIRST, ensuring our nation’s food supply is the strongest, healthiest, most plentiful, and most affordable on Earth. 🌾🇺🇸

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Thank you, @POTUS, for signing this landmark Executive Order to scale regenerative agriculture and advance the Make America Healthy Again agenda.

On Thursday, @SecRollins and I joined President Trump alongside America's leading regenerative farmers because healthier food starts with healthier soil.

This Executive Order expands support for regenerative agriculture, invests in research to better understand cumulative chemical exposures, and empowers America's farmers to grow a healthier, more abundant, and more affordable food supply.

We can't Make America Healthy Again without America's farmers.

[HHS @HHSGov]

This summer, get outside, get active, and reconnect with nature.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

In Eau Claire, Wisconsin, @RepVanOrden and I toured the Perrigo infant formula facility—one of the largest formula plants in America.

We're working with industry leaders to raise infant formula standards and improve nutritional quality so every baby has access to safe, high-quality nutrition and the healthiest possible start in life.

455 fraudsters DETAINED. $6.5 BILLION in false claims. $127 MILLION assets seized by our @WHFraudTF partners.

No longer will champagne and private jets be paid for by the American taxpayer.

The War on Fraud continues.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Every year, @USDA publishes the SNAP error rate, which is a measure of erroneous benefit overpayments and underpayments.

The FY2025 SNAP payment error rate is 10.62% — which means $10.1 billion in benefits were paid to households in error.

@USDA_FNA has taken historic action to help states curb waste. We stand ready to continue that work.

We're not backing down in the fight to make SNAP more accountable to the American taxpayer.

When doctors diagnose an intellectual or developmental disability, they should do more than deliver a diagnosis—they should provide families with a clear path forward. Too often, families leave that conversation without the guidance, resources, or support they need, and with more questions than answers.

Medical professionals can change that. Refer families to organizations like @bestbuddies and other disability-support networks that connect individuals and families to community, services, and opportunities from day one. No family should have to navigate a diagnosis alone.

[CDC @CDCgov]

CDC Acting Director Jay Bhattacharya: Protecting Americans is our highest responsibility. CDC’s hantavirus response officially concludes today, June 24, 2026. This response demonstrates the strength of a coordinated effort to detect and defend against infectious disease threats that occur outside of our borders. I am grateful for the world-class team at CDC whose dedication and swift action helped identify potential exposures, provide clear guidance, and protect the American people.

[DrOzCMS @DrOzCMS]

The best prescription for a fraudster?

Prosecution.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Protecting the health and safety of the American people is our highest responsibility. @HHSGov moved swiftly to identify potential exposures, support state and local health officials, and prepare our healthcare system to respond. As a result, no sustained transmission of Hantavirus occurred in the United States, and the monitoring period has concluded with no individuals remaining under observation.

[HHS @HHSGov]

Under the leadership of @POTUS and @SecKennedy, HHS has successfully concluded its response to the M/V Hondius Hantavirus exposure event. The 42-day monitoring period ended with no positive U.S. cases, no individuals remaining under monitoring, and no sustained transmission in the United States. Thanks to strong coordination across federal, state, and local partners, Americans were protected every step of the way.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

460 criminal charges

$6.5B intended loss, $1.4B actual loss

$127M seized assets

Great work by @SecKennedy, @DAGToddBlanche, @FBIDirectorKash, & @DrOzCMS on today’s fraud takedown. If you’re committing fraud, we’ll find you.

[HHS @HHSGov]

Healthcare fraudsters’ worst nightmare.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

This week, FDA, NIH, CMS, ONC, ARPA-H, and the HHS Office of Inspector General launched a coordinated effort to strengthen America's clinical research enterprise and bring more clinical research and investment back to the United States.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Taxpayers should not be forced to pay for products that make people sick and then pay again for the medical care that follows. SNAP was created to fight hunger and improve nutrition, not to subsidize the chronic disease epidemic. Today’s ruling does not change the facts about the health harms associated with excessive sugar consumption. We will continue pursuing every available path to Make America Healthy Again.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

An activist judge just blocked our commonsense restriction on using SNAP benefits for soda and junk.

SNAP is for food — not sugar bombs fueling obesity, diabetes, and skyrocketing healthcare costs for low-income families.

Taxpayers shouldn’t subsidize junk food and drinks at the expense of American health.

This administration will keep fighting to Make America Healthy Again.

Healthcare fraud endangers patients. Alongside @SecKennedy, the @WHFraudTF is saving money, programs, and lives.

[White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud @WHFraudTF]

Well said, @SecKennedy. Fighting fraud isn’t just about saving money. Fighting fraud is about saving programs and the lives of Americans who rely on them.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

We will find fraud. We will stop it. We will recover taxpayer dollars whenever the law permits, and we will restore integrity to the programs that millions of Americans rely on for their care.

[HHS Rapid Response @HHSResponse]

COMBATTING FRAUD 🚨

@SecKennedy: "HHS is replacing the old pay-and-chase system with a detect-and-prevent strategy that identifies suspicious claims before the taxpayer dollars ever leave the Treasury."

[HHS Rapid Response @HHSResponse]

.@SecKennedy: "Every fraudulent dollar diverted to a criminal scheme is a dollar unavailable for patient care, medical innovation, or services for vulnerable Americans."

[HHS Rapid Response @HHSResponse]

.@SecKennedy: "These schemes did not target government programs; they targeted the American taxpayer...These defendants did not simply break the law—they violated the trust that patients place in medical professionals."
