The rising costs of healthcare plus decreased federal funding for HIV programs like the Ryan White program means tens of thousands are now unable to afford life-saving medications. How do we have money for wars but not healthcare? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/h...

64,000 pregnant rape victims do not have access to abortion care. Never stop repeating: abortion IS healthcare which IS a human right. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

“Any restriction or removal of evidence-based resources—whether explicitly named in litigation or not—raises serious concerns for patient care, and we are closely tracking developments to determine appropriate next steps.” @drsmeena.bsky.social via Men's Health magazine

Eleven Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday. This includes two 13-year-old boys and three journalists. One of the 13yo was just collecting firewood. I have a 14yo boy. No child or journalist is a target. This is NOT a ceasefire. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

We have come to the time in our nation's history when all of us, wherever we are, in or outside of our house, needs this PSA..... youtube.com/shorts/z4dy0...

There is a federal ban on chokeholds & similar tactics. However, reporting from @propublica has documented >40 cases of ICE agents using chokeholds on protestors, immigrants AND US citizens--including on children. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

This is what they keep doing: spreading lies about good innocent people from whatever microphone they own. We must push back with facts (& support independent journalism). www.nytimes.com/2026/01/25/u...

Feeling helpless about what's happening? You DO have agency: call your senators & say “I’m really angry/scared about what ICE is doing & I want you to stop giving them money,” In PA: Fetterman (202-224-4254); McCormick (202-224-6324). FLOOD THE ZONE. www.huffpost.com/entry/expert...

After killing 2 US citizens, the Trump Admin is holding Minnesota hostage, saying that they will leave if they get Minnesota voters' private information. This is not a democracy. No matter your political affiliation, this should be very concerning. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Please everyone: trust doctors & scientists about Tylenol (paracetamol internationally) during pregnancy. Please do NOT trust a man who has started multiple measles outbreaks resulting in multiple dead people (including children).

The Trump Admin removed materials used by health professionals like myself & my colleagues to treat patients, conduct research, & respond to public health threats. DFA sued to have this data restored-& we won. Join us. It's time to stand up doctorsforamerica.org/pr-dfa-v-opm...

Trump spoke about affordability at a McDonald's summit. This is the same administration whose head of CMS says that it's your fault if you need to pay higher premiums because you are not being healthy enough. www.axios.com/2025/11/17/t...

#HappyThanksgiving! We are a country of immigrants, and our diversity makes us better, from who we are to how we think; and definitely what we eat! With much love from our household-our Thanksgiving tradition! youtu.be/oX3BDTpROzU?...

We came, we ran....now someone get me the supplemental O2! 😂 Happy #TurkeyTrot to all those who participate!

Your Thanksgiving plate doesn’t need to follow a myth—just your body. IBD triggers are individual, and so are your traditions. 🦃 #IBD #InflammatoryBowelDisease #IBDAwareness #CoreIBD #Thanksgiving

This man: -ended hepB vaccinations - which prevent CANCER -halted childhood vaccination campaigns -waited 2 months to alert residents about whooping cough outbreak -endorsed misinformation during the pandemic -is now the second highest member of CDC. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/h...

Facts don't give a damn if you believe. So here are the facts: -Vaccines do not cause autism -RFK Jr's lies about vaccines have caused children to die -Vaccines are safe & save lives Please see and share the video EVERYWHERE. We ARE doctors & scientists. youtu.be/BdirJCYYh_0?...

Imagine: you go to ER & get stuck in doom loop w/insurance co, provider, facility, etc. The bill gets parked on your credit report so you can't get a loan, pass job verification, get apt, etc. The CFPB banned this practice. Trump is shutting down CFPB www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Republicans would rather let children starve then lower the cost of healthcare. Think on that for a second. whyy.org/articles/phi...

This wknd we voted! 34 countries globally do mail-in or postal voting. It is safe, it is easy; & it allows me to provide patient care on voting day in America. There are IMPORTANT elections tomorrow; & unfortunately this Admin is trying to suppress the vote. Tell everyone: #GOTV

Democrats are in this shutdown fight because healthcare is on the line. Healthcare is a human right and accessing it is literally a matter of life and death. Here's how much premiums will skyrocket in the #MA7 if Trump & Republicans get their way:

40 multicolored pipe-cleaner tarantulas (I was exhausted & forgot a picture; this was the inspiration); 60 ghost cookies; and 1 Zoey KPop Demon Hunter. 101 things that never make it to the resume, but are THE most important things in my career. #HappyHalloween 🎃🧹👻

A great read by @pfeiffer3342 Even better Substack www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-bull... .

Rising costs. Deportation of workers. But also: “My major concern is the disregard for the Constitution and the law, and then also the level of cronyism. The people at the top are just grifting and taking, and then there’s the rest of us.” apnews.com/article/hisp...

Today kicks off the 2025 MILESTONE IBD Fellows Retreat! This is *the* best IBD training program (I have the data to prove it!) and also an introduction into t-shirt messaging for our future IBD docs/advocates 😊

The WH has cut special education staff & programs that provide services to over 7MIL children with disabilities, their families & their caregivers. All the while, they're running cryptocurrency schemes & making BILLIONS. www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

George Retes exemplifies true American patriotism & values. Watch. Share. youtu.be/7ur74d9OfHI?...

Patients are going to die: from lack of healthcare, vaccines, medications, public health. We at @drsforamerica.bsky.social stand with #NoKingsDayOct18th to put #PatientsOverPolitics & #StandUpForScience

A gentle reminder: "Antifa" is not a group or an organization: it is a movement dedicated to anti-facism (which I thought we all were?) And cherry-picking some violent acts and labeling them "antifa" while ignoring other violent acts is not democracy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

A gentle reminder: no one here illegally can access federal funding for healthcare. This includes Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. When Trump & GOP say this, it is a complete lie & frankly racist. Democrats are fighting for affordable healthcare for YOU. www.americanprogress.org/article/hous...

"Pledging support for President Trump’s political agenda" is not a democracy, it is an authoritarian state. And it is not what Universities are: they should be places of independent thought, education, & free speech, as protected by the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

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-...
