Outrageous betrayal': NY senators seethe as Trump admin slashes 9/11 health program staffing | amNewYork
Briefly

The Trump administration faces criticism for further cuts to the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP), essential for 9/11 responders and survivors. President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently dismissed 16 staff members at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, crucial for WTCHP's work. Senators Schumer and Gillibrand denounced these actions as a betrayal of 9/11 heroes, emphasizing the program's importance to over 137,000 affected individuals. They called on New York Republican House members to intervene during the upcoming budget vote to halt these dangerous cuts.
It is revolting that President Trump and Secretary Kennedy fired even more staffers at NIOSH, critical doctors and scientists who have dedicated their lives to helping these sick people and many others.
Once again, President Trump is betraying the heroes who stepped up and risked their lives in one of our nation's darkest hours.
