🚨 The U.S. is now in the longest government shutdown in history — two longest shutdowns under the same president. Millions are losing essential benefits, federal workers aren’t being paid, & airlines are cutting flights as the holidays begin. Is this the country we want?

This morning is the first time in a year that I’ve woken up feeling a sense of hope — for our country, and for humanity. Thank you to all who voted yesterday.

First they came for reproductive rights. Then they came for vaccines. Now they’re coming for mental health. There is zero evidence SSRIs cause mass violence. You know what does? Guns — and the fact that anyone can access weapons that kill hundreds in seconds. #GunReformNow

🧬 Science is under attack 🏥 Public health is being dismantled If tonight’s election results taught me anything, it’s that people who understand these systems aren’t the ones in power. We need more doctors, nurses & public health leaders to run for office — 2026, 2028, and beyond.

Day 34 of the government shutdown 💸 Thousands unpaid 🚫 No services 😷 Healthcare + public health systems unraveling. ❌ No end in sight The longest shutdown ever was 35 days under Trump — this one’s next. If everyday Americans aren’t getting paid then why is Congress?

Thank you for an outstanding World Series run, Blue Jays! Canada’s Hospital was proud to come together to cheer on Canada’s Team! You’ve inspired us all with your incredible teamwork, resilience and heart! TeamUHN 💙 Blue Jays

Bailey can’t believe this Game 7 of the #WorldSeries

This is atrocious - how are people supposed to have insurance. Remind me again how the US has the best healthcare system in the world? We spend the most per capita on healthcare compared to any country in the world.

⚠️ If you’re not paying attention to #Sudan, you should be. Since April 2023, civil war has killed > 150,000 & displaced > 12 million people The humanitarian crises has led to famine, genocide, sexual assault & collapse of health systems The world must not look away www.bbc.com/news/article...

I feel like this government shutdown is never going to end and because of it millions are being affected It's telling the two longest shutdowns in our nations history are under the same president.

Why is this even a question. Look at what they have done so far.

🚨 This is unscientific & dangerous. The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & used worldwide. Splitting it into 3 shots isn’t evidence-based—it’s politics that will sow confusion, lower coverage & fuel outbreaks. Don’t be surprised when countries start requiring proof of MMR from U.S. travelers. 💉

Agreed - I can’t think of a time in my 20 plus years that someone got a “screening MRI” This is usually done when you have a specific symptom or concern for a specific problem

🌍 1977: Last natural case of smallpox recorded. 🩺 1980: Smallpox eradicated - the only disease with this distinction One of the greatest achievements in history. 45 years later, we may never see this again — We know how to beat infectious diseases. We have to choose to do it.

Hey @verizonofficial.bsky.social - I have now been on the phone for 4 hours dealing with my account being hacked - 8 transfers - 0 progress I have repeated the same story to every new person. This is 15 years of loyalty gets you. Please repost or like if you think this is poor service

Glad that our priorities are in order 🤦‍♀️

An hour to get through airport security at 6 AM this morning—real-world consequences of a government shutdown. These delays aren’t just inconvenient; they’re the cost of political dysfunction. #GovernmentShutdown

You haven’t really experienced #Atlanta unless you see one of these

Trying to start my day by logging into Epic while my “assistant” helps by taking a nap on my workspace. 🐾💤

California is proud to congratulate FIVE California university-affiliated scholars among this year's Nobel laureates. From quantum computing to clean energy and medical breakthroughs, these trailblazers reflect the strength, innovation, and creativity that define our state.

This policy is evidence-based. COVID-19 ↗️ risk of complications such as blood clots, diabetes,& heart disease. Vaccination is required for all transplant recipients to optimize health before & after surgery. Organs are a scarce and we want to ensure they are used to achieve the best outcomes.

💯💯💯 These firings were not mistakes and the firing and rehiring and firing again is abusive to federal workers

We’re in yet another government shutdown — with no end in sight. The longest shutdown in U.S. history was also under this same president. Different year, same story — gridlock, uncertainty, and no urgency to fix it. Real people are being hurt while politics takes priority over governance.

Unfortunately, this is becoming the norm. Misinformation and the politicizing science is driving a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases. The U.S. could lose its measles elimination status — something once unthinkable. Science isn’t partisan. Vaccines save lives. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth

#Trump just got his #COVID19 and #flu shots. Yet his administration has made access increasingly difficult for ordinary Americans. Every #MAGA supporter should be asking — if these vaccines are good enough for POTUS, why shouldn’t they be just as easy for everyone else to get?

Can someone explain why members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown? If their pay stopped like other federal employees, I bet we’d see these shutdowns end a lot faster.

The CDC’s Poxvirus & Rabies Branch—key to monitoring the only disease ever eradicated, #smallpox was reportedly RIF’d in the recent “Friday Massacre.” Two labs in the world retain live variola virus (U.S. & Russia) and raises serious questions for global health security and oversight.

Not sure how you fire someone in error. This was clearly planned and they are walking back due to public outcry. Just when you think things can’t get worse, they do.

I’m out of words for how reckless and dangerous this is. ❌ Tylenol does not cause autism ❌ Circumcision does not increase autism risk ✅ There is zero scientific evidence for either claim Trump and RFK are not doctors. They don’t know what they’re talking about- those enabling it should be ashamed.

Six former surgeon generals, multiple former CDC directors, Nobel Laureates, numerous scientists and even his family do not think RFK should be HHS Secretary - perhaps time for a little self reflection?

We are going to loose our #measles elimination status in a few months - so much for making america healthy

🚨8 months in & the health misinformation from this administration is terrifying 💊 Tylenol causes autism? False. 💉 Vaccines unsafe? False. ⚠️ Public health under attack? Sadly true. Disinformation isn’t leadership. It’s reckless. Lives are on the line.

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for using science to speak truth. I miss the days when our leaders respected the power and influence they have and were careful with it.

False. Kids in the U.S. get ~20–24 vaccine doses before age 5. What about the child who can’t be vaccinated because of immune suppression, and is then infected by a child whose parents chose not to vaccinate—leading to serious illness or even death? How does ignoring this make America healthy.

This image gives me a lot of hope for the future. Former, future. @governor.ca.gov

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

Even the UK’s MHRA fighting back against the bogus Tylenol causes autism claim

If #tylenol is so bad for children's health then why aren't we worried about #guns I bet more children have died or been adversely affected due to gun violence than tylenol.

Is #tylenol safe in pregnancy? Data 👇 A large Swedish study of 2.48M children found: 👶 No link btwn prenatal tylenol & autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability once sibling comparisons controlled for family/genetic factors. 👉 Tylenol is safe in pregnancy if needed. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

When major medical societies, Nobel laureates, leading scientists, and even your own family are all condemning your comments and policies, maybe the problem isn’t them. Time for some self-reflection.

Good to see professional societies coming out against the misinformation from the administration re-emphasizing that acetaminophen is safe in pregnancy .

Imagine: the president — with zero medical training — telling pregnant women to avoid Tylenol. 🚫💊 Who’s responsible when this leads to confusion, fear, and worse health outcomes? 🤰➡️😡

PSA for the day 💉 Vaccines don’t cause autism 💊 Tylenol doesn’t cause autism 💊 Ivermectin & HCQ don’t cure COVID 🧴 Bleach ≠ medicine Can’t believe THESE are the people running our government and making healthcare policy for our country 🤯

Scientists have spent decades studying autism. This crew with zero expertise “solved it” in months—right on cue. They didn’t discover answers. They wrote a script. 🎭

With their obsession over ivermectin & hydroxychloroquine, I’m half-expecting this administration to claim they “cure” autism next. 🙄 We’re living in a science-free, data-free era where anything goes—except facts.

In 8 months, this administration has done more to undermine science & vaccines than Wakefield’s bogus, retracted study linking the #MMR #vaccine to autism ever did. Wakefield lit the match. 🚬 This White House poured gas. ⛽🔥 The damage to public health, vaccinations & health will last generations.
