This week, @SecKennedy joined @SecretaryBurgum in Colorado to highlight the connection between outdoor recreation and public health.
The Secretaries led a roundtable about expanding access to America’s public lands, encouraging more hunting, fishing, hiking, and outdoor activity, and launched GetActive.gov to help Americans take charge of their health. Getting outdoors is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve physical and mental well-being.

HHS has requested a review of allegations involving @CAIRNational and its affiliates @CAIRCalifornia and @CAIRWashington regarding the use of federal grant funds. Americans deserve full transparency when taxpayer dollars are involved. If there is evidence of fraud, abuse, or ties to designated terrorist organizations, we will act.
I have shared these concerns with @SecRubio and encouraged a full @StateDept review of any information relevant to this matter.
Accountability is not optional. Protecting the integrity of federal programs is our responsibility.

For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.
That ends now.
Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.
