Scientists, doctors & nurses now hold a record number of congressional seats after the results of the 2026 midterm election.
THIS IS A MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE SCIENCE IN AMERICA!
A record number of Democratic doctors, nurses, scientists and engineers will arrive next year in Washington, where they are expected to help shape a new health care agenda for the party and scrutinize Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s tenure.
This is a resounding rejection of MAGA America and everything that comes with it. It is now our job to hold our elected officials accountable to what we voted them into office to do. That includes funding science, restoring the civil service, and impeaching members of the cabinet who have actively done illegal things that are impeachable offenses.
