HOT TOPICS | “We’re All Going to Die”...Apparently, That’s Just Policy Now

Republican Senator Joni Ernst responded to concerns about Medicaid cuts with the ever-comforting words: “We’re all going to die.” Cool cool cool. Tonight, we’re unpacking the very real consequences of that mindset, from RFK Jr. and HHS slashing vaccine research funding, to the Trump administration quietly limiting COVID vaccine access, to MAGA gutting support for our nation’s top scientific research institutions. Public health? Who needs it! Join us as we ask: Is this just cruelty as policy, or is there an actual plan? Either way, buckle up. The nihilism is bipartisan, but the damage is disproportionately MAGA. Let’s break it all down with facts, fury, and just enough humor to survive the news cycle.
