called ASPR at HHS, and you have career professionals who are working around the clock to ensure that we're bringing in the right kind of IV bags from around the world, from safe suppliers, so that, you know, there's a little disruption, but you never heard of anyone dying from the lack of an IV bag in the United States.

Now, a couple of weeks ago, most of those people were terminated on a Saturday night.

The ASPR people and some of the FDA people. And we have drug shortages all the time. A year ago, we had drug shortages of pediatric cancer drugs. So we have a drug shortage, and I genuinely don't know who is going to protect us from that. right? Who in the federal government is actually going to work on that problem? This is a whole issue with HHS. You know, they're playing with lives.

So I think that's the job of all of us. We're going to do a lot of this work at the Center for American Progress to really drive the stories of how a person who's terminated, what it means for your protection, your safety, your health, your economic well-being. And You know, I personally believe that when people, when you have the amalgamation of these harms, that that's the story we need to tell.

Absolutely. And look, they're now going after, they're going to shut down a range of Social Security offices around the country. Those Social Security offices are about how you get the benefits you're supposed to get, your earned benefits of Social Security. So, you know, I think the truth of this is that Trump's crazy, you know, his antics, his sort of everyday antics, can't let us fight.

forget the real harm to people. And again, you know, we have had some successes beating this guy. Things are different. They are dramatically worse than his first term. But I am really proud of the fact that the Center for American Progress was a real leader of the effort to defend the Affordable Care Act from Trump's assaults, his effort to repeal it.

And just to remind everyone, and I think this is a hugely important lesson for us as well, the Affordable Care Act, unfortunately, was not popular when it passed. It was not popular from the day it passed until Donald Trump tried to get rid of it. And when he tried to get rid of it, we as an opposition were able to communicate to the country how many people will lose health care.

Twenty three million people across the country would lose health care. And it became much more popular and it actually cleavaged Republicans. And, you know, everyone talks about John McCain. But the reason, you know, people forget 10, 11, 12 Republicans voted against that bill, even in the House.
