Florida has 2nd highest # of uninsured kids in the U.S. yet the Governor refuses to expand CHIP and continues to violate federal law and make more kids uninsured The Trump Administration is not enforcing federal law Dr Oz talks about his "moral duty" but apparently kids aren't it wapo.st/4mTZHG8

Make no mistake: CBO continues to estimate huge cuts to #Medicaid from OBBBA, last year’s reconciliation bill, despite Trump Admin officials’ false claims otherwise. In fact, CBO projects that 7 million ppl will lose #ACA Medicaid expansion coverage from 2025 to 2032.

If someone can’t clearly say “Yes, Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,” they shouldn’t be confirmed to anything.

NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Everyone who thinks measles is no big deal - starting with RFK jr - needs to read this first hand account of watching a child die of SSPE, a devastating complication that occurs years later. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

RSV maternal vaccine cuts baby hospital admissions by up to 85% www.gov.uk/government/n...

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

In the richest country on Earth, it should never be this dangerous to bring a child into the world—especially when so many maternal deaths are preventable.  Honored to stand with my colleagues as March of Dimes named us 2026 March for Change Champions.

Thanks to Mississippi Today for publishing our Guardian investigation into the people behind the campaign to resurrect the religious exemption, and how the change has affected Mississippi children and families

Brutal.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

I’m incensed that immigration policies are removing foreign doctors from their hospitals and jobs. We face a critical physician shortage. Many of these doctors treat the poor and underserved. This decision will cost lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/u...

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

No good very bad for our children and economy

The indirect — and sometimes surprising — benefits of vaccines - including, e.g.: * rubella - protects unborn. * pneumococcal - protects the elderly, too. * HPV - protects unvaccinated partners. And many more. www.statnews.com/2026/03/19/v... via @statnews.com @helenbranswell.bsky.social

The measles outbreaks in the US are so bad and out of control that pediatricians are reaching out to colleagues in developing countries for input on how to manage severe complications of the disease that they have never seen before. Measles was eliminated in the US for 20 years then #RFKJr happened.

🇺🇸 In a hypothetical head-to-head matchup with Andrews, Graham leads 47% to 42% of would-be voters. 🇺🇸Andrews closes the gap to just two points (44% to 46%) once voters are informed about each candidate's positions. 🇺🇸 Among independent voters, Graham trails Andrews by 19 points. November is coming.

This! Pediatricians are nice, but when you are wrong and you mess with the health of children, we come after you 💥

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Because of Trump’s cuts to health care, rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closing. Republicans in Congress voted for this. Trump signed it into law. And we’re going to hold them accountable for it in November.

Iran's leadership has chosen Mojtaba Khamenei, the previous leader's son and aide, as the new supreme leader. So President Trump's war has succeed inreplacing one Supreme Leader Khamenei with another who is younger, healthier, just as hardline and has close ties to the IRGC.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

January 2021 was the deadliest month of the pandemic. 3000 Americans died daily, 95,000 in total. And Prasad was *mocking* people for avoiding COVID. Shame on anyone who treated him as a good faith actor or serious thinker. Let’s be honest about his record.

Now's the time to plan a dedicated garden row or raised bed of high-producing, not highly perishable veggies — which you can share with local food insecurity organizations.

Wrong. Under controlling case law and the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the executive branch does not have the ability to withhold congressionally appropriated funds except under very limited circumstances that don’t exist here.

What RFK Jr.’s CDC Doesn’t Want You to Know open.substack.com/pub/pauloffi... RFK Jr.'s CDC is hiding information about outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.

I wonder how uninsured Americans feel about the US sending a hospital ship to a country with free healthcare and 5 hospitals. 5 hospitals may not sound like much, but their entire population is 56,740. www.cnn.com/2026/02/21/p...

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

“.. Not a single Republican member of Congress showed up to the public forum .. on the violence inflicted by federal immigration agents, featuring testimony from the brothers of Renee Good ..” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/post/206100/...

Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country: "The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023." Facts matter.

NEW FOOTAGE: Protesters take over a Minneapolis Target Saturday to protest the retailer’s cooperation with ICE. This is a movement! Share so everyone is aware!

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

People who oppose #vaccines often claim that doctors push them because they're paid to by Pharma or that vaccine administration is a big revenue source for doctors. The reality: Delivering vaccine puts an economic strain on many pediatric practices. www.statnews.com/2026/01/29/p...

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP. That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care. Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.
