    Hey So We Really Need to Talk About MAHA (Pt. 1)
    Jun 11 2026
    Welcome to Schauer Thoughts, this week we’ll be dissecting the “MAHA Report” as well as it’s strategy and “MAHA ELEVATE” proposal. Please know that there will be several more parts to this series so if there’s anything you think I didn’t get to or is worth emphasizing, I will absolutely be doing follow-ups and want you to hang tight - I very much hear and mirror your concern. Researching this episode has been heartbreaking like none other and I just appreciate you all taking the time to listen. Please review the sources below for all information, it is of the utmost importance right now that we all stay informed. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit ⁠https://hily.go.link/jRMKW I do also plan on searching for actionable items and ways to recognize front groups, but I do need some time to collect and format that information. Please know that hope is never lost. Nuance: I do apologize for my poor pronunciation of some medical conditions and other words, I am someone who loves to research outside of a school context so I don’t get to hear most of these words spoken out loud by others. I foresee some red-hat-supporters running with this point for “evidence” of me being unintelligent and I’m covering my bases for when that eventually happens. My main reason for pointing this out is not to prevent people making fun of my pronunciation but more of a demonstration on how predictable some people are. Reminder: I love answering questions, if you have an assumption on any of my political stances, please just ask. *Spoiler* I am not a fan of the United States military and have very strong, informed opinions. Edit for 31:50 - I accidentally referred to RFK Jr. as “JFK” - this was a mistake lol.
