24 MIL people will see their healthcare costs ⬆️ 75% 100% of Americans will see their healthcare cost ⬆️. This is on top of 17 MIL flat out losing healthcare, hundreds of hospitals closing, and rx costs ⬆️. How about funding this instead of masked mobs? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/h...

Let me be yet another doctor who says: TYLENOL DOES NOT CAUSE AUTISM. VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. This has been EXTENSIVELY studied. Fevers during pregnancy can cause fatal neurological damage. This disinformation from Trump & RFK Jr. will hurt & kill people. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

We are not an autocracy. We do not have kings. This case allows Trump to act like an autocrat or king. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

There's WAY MORE fine print to libertarianism than we thought! Sheesh! New shirt online now, in stores soon: www.raygunsite.com Context: bsky.app/profile/bunn... #raygun

I applaud every doctor, scientist, & group like 👇 coming together to "provide evidence-based recommendations that support safety, efficacy, transparency, access, and trust" given the current vacuum of that in HHS/CDC. Have questions? Please ask me! www.cdph.ca.gov/Pages/public...

The shooting story that SHOULD be getting attention is 👇🏼: happened the same day, w/2 children still hospitalized. These are our ALL of our children, every goddamn day. They are the heroes for still going to school despite drills, lockdowns, & PTSD. www.denver7.com/news/evergre...

This interview w/Susan Rice is a brilliant listen & a truly surgical dissection of exactly how bad the current Trump foreign & domestic policy is for U.S. safety & democracy. Come for the interview; stay for #PodSaveTheWorld-our foreign policy matters. m.youtube.com/watch?v=0bPl...

Last night I hosted another virtual Letters to Voters with Vote Forward! There is an important election in Nov for the PA Supreme Court. Join us to remind millions of voters to #GOTV & get them information about who is on the ballot.

It is no longer safe to be pregnant OR have children in Florida. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dr Oz is having AI determine Medicare approvals; & giving participating companies a share of the $$$ from rejected claims. So now we have to fight with an AI chat bot to get the appropriate care for our patients....*sigh*.... time.com/7313351/medi...

A brilliant explainer of Trump's dictatorship. "It tells us a lot about what led us into this mess that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, someone with no power & everything to lose, has shown more courage & understanding of America then America's Elite." @crooked.com youtu.be/OJKU43z_wFQ?...

“When Monarez chose protecting the public over serving a political agenda...she was targeted." We have seen this over & over: if you publish data they don't like, you are fired. If you dissent, you are targeted. They don't care about the public or truth. apnews.com/article/cdc-...

My husband & I are doctors & scientists. We have STUDIED vaccines-so we know #VaccinesAreSafe #VaccinesSaveLives. So we #GetVaccinated-& vaccinate our kids! & because we #StandUpForScience, I started #SHOTWAVE. 👇🏼=4 donations @unicef to help kids worldwide get vaccines. Join us.

Hospitals and healthcare providers are #NotATarget Journalists are #NotATarget Last week the Media Freedom Coalition demanded foreign press access to Gaza. Given they can pinpoint assassinations w/cell phone precision, you gotta ask-why kill the press? www.reuters.com/world/middle...

And it's ON!!! OMAHA-and surrounding areas! We're hosting the 2025 Homerun For Health! Come by Sat Oct 4th for: -blood drive (SIGN UP!!!) -vaccines -info on affordable healthcare options -safe gun storage -friendly docs to answer questions -FREE FOOD & so much more! SHARE WIDELY!

Hosted another virtual @votefwd letter writing party-because if one party is trying to rig elections to win, we've got to do everything we can to cause some #GoodTrouble! Join me-shoot me a DM & I can send you an invite to our next one to help #GOTV in Nov in PA!

In one city alone, over *50* children have been detained; & the majority have been deported. These are not criminals-they are CHILDREN. Meanwhile, Trump pardoned Jan 6 insurrectionists & waived the charges of a sex trafficker & sex offender.... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/n...

This is completely inappropriate. And mark my words: it will not end here. This is their launching pad for demanding anyone's private medical records. There is no room in the doc's office for the Trump Admin. Get OUT. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...

And so it begins! Every August I launch year-long #SHOTWAVE to #StandUpForScience & #vaccineswork It's easy: you post a pic of your bandaid after a vaccine & tag me; I donate @unicef.org to get kids worldwide vaccinated; & we all #RideTheSHOTWAVE! Please spread widely & PARTICIPATE!

Trump said they would cover all IVF costs & called himself "the Father of IVF." This was a lie to prey on desperate: insurance will NOT have to cover it, nor will healthcare be made more affordable. 1 in 8 Americans need IVF, which costs $14-25K/cycle. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Late entry: last week the PA Chapter @drsforamerica met because there is LOT of work to #PatientsOverPolitics (hey @PaLegis: how about you pass HB 404, HB 535, HB 618 & HB 755 to protect ALL PA healthcare???). It may be summer, but we're in session-JOIN US.

Every summer, I have the honor of teaching the flagship Intro Epi course for our Masters in Clinical Epidemiology. Today was our last class. These students are going to change the world. And (if they got the assignment) #StandUpForScience. It has been a true honor & privilege.

My 14yo ran a 6min 25sec mile and I just want to know where the fresh hell was that speed when I went through 29 hours of labor?

Elections matter. Judicial elections matter--a helluva lot. And in 86 days there is an important election for the PA State Supreme Court. So we had another Vote Forward letter writing party because we all promise to make a little #GoodTrouble every day!

This is BS. I, my husband, my parents, my colleagues, my staff-we work TIRELESSLY to help people who are sick get the care they need; & research to prevent or cure disease. We are salaried. RFK Jr makes TENS OF MILLIONS profiting from slamming health & science & selling scams.

Dude really can't stand a smart, good-looking, young *brown* person winning at anything.... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

mRNA vaccines literally saved us during the pandemic. They are now being investigated as potential cancer-fighting therapies. But yes: cancel $500MIL in funding with NO alternative. But put $200+MIL into a White House ballroom & MAGA statue garden.... apnews.com/article/kenn...

Numbers & facts matter, & they don't give a damn what you want or believe. We've already gone down this path w/Trump when he refused to count COVID cases. That didn't help people dying from COVID; & this now will not help folks hurting economically. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/b...

This is *still* going on-& now they are targeting mothers in foster system. And if these women don't give up their children for pregnancy they can be kicked out of this "maternity home." It's not 'pro-life"-it's about making $$$. Listen here: youtu.be/7JUkZKYZgpg?...

So the solution to the weak employment report is to....add to unemployment. Got it....🤦‍♀️ apnews.com/article/trum...

The most America-first food-grown, made & shipped by American farmers & companies-is literally being burned (at cost to Americans) while children die of famine. This Admin is doing this now. Oh-& ALSO cutting SNAP that feeds elderly & children here. player.megaphone.fm/VMP5159748049

Summers are the busiest-& also the most fulfilling. Tomorrow is our #UCSP Symposium, the culmination of a summer program I co-run for undergrads. They leave with Master's level epi & biostats--& research that changes the world. Check out their work 👇!!! You can join virtually!

"The ballot is stronger than the bullet." In the face of so much violence, we did another 20 @votefwd letters for the upcoming Nov PA State SCOTUS election. My children keep the same message: "We can't vote because we are 14 and 10 years old, so please vote for our future."

Dropped my niece at the airport; got SO much love for the shirt. #StandUpForScience.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" cuts $186BIL from SNAP. This means 6 - 9 BILLION meals cut EACH YEAR. This is LITERALLY taking food out of the mouths of seniors, children, the disabled. But--gotta get those tax breaks to billionaires, amiright? www.feedingamerica.org/advocate/snap

"Whites are Native Americans." I am out....

International students made up only 5% of higher-ed enrollment (mostly grad engineering, computer sci, & research). But they contributed $44BIL to the US economy in 2023-2024 & supported 378K jobs. We are setting ourselves back in too many ways. americanbazaaronline.com/2025/05/29/f...

...but if all of us have a little bit of courage, none of us have to be a hero. We are not taught advocacy in medical school. But our oath is to ALL patients. So: join @drsforamerica.bsky.social and find lots of ways to be a hero every day to ALL patients!

Honored to speak at the #GoodTroubleLivesOn​ in Philly. The late Rep John Lewis was my inspiration to speak up and stand up. Let's make Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble, every day. "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?" youtu.be/TW4aky-W1Xk?...

Hell yeah! #GoodTroubleLivesOn in Philly! Every day make some #GoodTrouble #NecessaryTrouble

I joined SoMe because of Rep John Lewis (my pinned tweet "If you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it.") On July 17th, #GoodTroubleLivesOn “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” Join us goodtroubleliveson.org?utm_source=s...

"UnitedHealth joins a growing group of companies & wealthy individuals, including Pres. Trump, who are using legal threats and lawsuits to deter or penalize criticism." Maybe-and hear me out: maybe just provide better healthcare? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/b...

The cuts to healthcare in the BBB mean a family of 4 making <$35K/yr will pay $1650 MORE for healthcare... ...but billionaires get $90K tax breaks & it'll double the number of masked unidentified people grabbing working brown people off the streets. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/u...

We allow children & adults to get nose jobs, lip enhancements, breast augmentation, tummy tucks, butt lifts.... ....but we won't allow gender affirming care. This is wrong. Absolutely wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/h...

As a family physician in rural Maine, this bill will be devastating to my patients and the community. I’ve seen multiple clinics close recently and the only docs thriving are those of us who have left the system and gone DPC. But our patients also need hospital services that this bill will kill.

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY (IN *ALL* PLACES)!!! Don't know if Medicaid cuts affect you? Check out this graphic by PA Chapter & Copello Fellow @drsforamerica.bsky.social Dr. Robiou made. Yup-you followed it correctly: these cuts affect EVERYONE. Pass it on.

Prasad is rejecting *science* & jeopardizing the health of EVERYONE. Science has shown that covid can cause damage to heart, lungs & brain of young healthy people. Science also shows that the vaccines are safe. More unvax ppl = more spread of virus to ALL. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/h...

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY ICYMI: the bill also: -🚫 healthcare for 17 MIL -🚫school meals for 18MIL kids -⬆️electricity by $250 BIL -⬆️ overall costs for 80 MIL low/mid-income families -⬆️debt by $3.5 TRIL -⬆️masked unaccountable ICE agents -includes $40MIL for MAGA statue garden (seriously-not kidding)

CALL YOUR REPS! 202-224-3121. A bill that can only pass in middle of night w/tie-breaker vote is NOT good for Americans. This bill: -⬆️debt by $3.3 TRILLION -12-20+MIL lose healthcare -denies SNAP to vets & families w/kids -gives billionaires $1TRILLION in tax cuts. apnews.com/live/donald-...

🚨🚨🚨 *YOU* need to call your Senators & MoC about the "big beautiful bill" aka "We're all going to die" bill. It will cut healthcare to 16MIL & raise healthcare costs to EVERYONE. It cuts protections for healthcare. All to give $1TRIL tax break to top 1% 202-224-3121.
