There is a particular kind of silence parents know well: a room full of children, together but apart, each looking down at a screen. Children will have all of adulthood to be digital citizens, but they only have one childhood. Let’s encourage them to LIVE REAL LIFE. 📵

American farmers have had no better friend than President Trump. This action will lower costs, put Americans first, and put high-quality American protein where it belongs: the center of your plate. We can’t Make America Healthy Again without our farmers!

.@SecKennedy recently visited the @UKYMedicine to meet with students and university leaders working to put nutrition at the center of medical education. Kentucky has now achieved full participation in the @HHSGov Nutrition Education Initiative, with every medical school in the Commonwealth committed to providing at least 40 hours of nutrition education — or a competency equivalent — throughout medical training. The University of Kentucky helped lead the way, incorporating culinary medicine into its curriculum and preparing the next generation of physicians to understand the critical role food plays in preventing and managing chronic disease. To Make America Healthy Again, we must give future doctors the tools to help their patients live healthier lives.

Iowa cut the number of kids in foster care in half in just a few years. As a foster and adoptive dad, this one is personal to me. Thank you @ACF_Adams for joining us at the @IowaStateFair to see why Iowa is the model, and how we can take it nationwide.

Nationwide, about 35% of foster care placements stem from parental drug abuse. HHS announced new peer support prevention services to help parents battling the disease of addiction get needed treatment, which can avoid family separation. 👉 @dcexaminer:

What if AI could find the vein on the first try? ARPA-H is putting that capability directly into clinicians' hands. SRI International is developing AI-guided tools for blood draws, splinting, intubation, and more — bringing advanced clinical care to communities that need it most. That's PARADIGM — more tools, more places, more patients. Read more in @njdotcom ➡️

Under President Trump’s Great American Recovery, we are expanding proven peer support that helps parents overcome addiction, strengthens families, and keeps children out of foster care.

“Doctors and hospitals must put children’s health ahead of ideology and financial gain. This report identifies troubling billing practices that demand scrutiny. HHS will follow the evidence, protect taxpayers, and hold accountable anyone who broke the law or violated the trust of patients and families. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are restoring transparency and integrity to American medicine.” —@SecKennedy

The FDA is seeking public input on considerations for the regulation of generative AI-enabled medical devices. We’ve put out a discussion paper, and we’re inviting feedback by October 19, 2026.

HHS’ Wolves in White Coats report exposes how calculated financial and political efforts left children irreversibly harmed and abandoned at the very moments when they needed real support. Thank you to @VP and @SecKennedy for taking action to ensure accountability.

The facts: 340B purchases exploded from $6.6 billion in 2010 to $100 BILLION in 2025. @HHSGov is acting with a new pilot that will: 🔍 Bring transaction-level transparency 💪 Strengthen oversight 👨‍👩‍👦 Return the program to its mission: serving vulnerable patients

One of nature’s original superfoods: the egg. Nutrient-dense, affordable, and proof that eating well doesn’t have to be complicated. @gzchef joins me on #TheRealFoodShow# to make a classic French omelet and fresh salad—a complete meal for under $5. Watch now:

I joined @RepOgles and @ACF_Adams at a Head Start facility in Tennessee to announce a major step forward for America’s children and families. Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is making the largest investment in Head Start in the program’s history—$2.2 billion. We are removing unnecessary bureaucracy, strengthening nutrition and physical health, trusting parents and local communities, and opening Head Start to hundreds of thousands more children. That’s how we renew the promise of Head Start for the next generation.

Regenerative agriculture means healthier soil, food, and children. Thanks to @POTUS' leadership, HHS, @USDA and @EPA are working to scale regenerative farming—and farmers are responding with tremendous interest. More on #TheRealFoodShow# with @gzchef:

At HHS, we are taking bold new actions against Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-borne diseases—accelerating research, improving care, and driving new treatments. Millions of Americans need faster diagnoses, better care, and real answers. Thank you Dennis Quaid for lending your voice to this important cause and joining me in this video.

Today, @HHSGov released “Wolves in White Coats,” a comprehensive commissioned report that presents HHS’ findings and recommendations about the industry pushing and profiting off so-called “gender medicine.” Pursuant to its recommendations, today @VP, as Chairman of @WHFraudTF, and @SecKennedy referred hospitals and clinics identified by the report to @TheJusticeDept and @OIGatHHS for possible violations of federal law.
