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.

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.

Today we filed a motion asking the First Circuit to expedite our appeal of the district court's order in the AAP lawsuit that left ACIP—the nation's vaccine advisory committee—without a quorum. AAP opposes our motion. I've been consistent from day one: I do not want to take vaccines away from anyone. Our policy changes preserved access and coverage. But the court's order has left ACIP unable to carry out its core responsibilities. As a result, the committee cannot issue new recommendations, review newly approved vaccines, or complete important work ahead of the fall flu season. A functioning ACIP is essential to ensuring that vaccine recommendations remain grounded in evidence and available to the families and providers who rely on them. Families, physicians, insurers, and public health programs deserve certainty—not paralysis. That's why we're asking for expedited review. Our appeal seeks to restore a functioning ACIP so the vaccine recommendation process can continue, and families, physicians, and public health programs have the guidance they need.

Ebola does not spread through the air like COVID-19, is only contagious after symptoms begin, and outbreaks have historically affected far fewer people. Knowing these differences can help reduce fear and prevent the spread of misinformation.
