As a physician I can say with utmost confidence that the biggest threat to public health in our country at this point is our own fucking government.

Dear America: 'Not Okay' Is No Longer Strong Enough Language Here we consider children to be human beings. History is very clear about how it judges societies that normalize cruelty toward children. There is no neutral position here. open.substack.com/pub/drobrien...

ANNIE ANDREWS OUTRAISED LINDSEY GRAHAM HALF A YEAR BEFORE IT’S EVEN TIME FOR HER PRIMARY!!! This woman works harder than anyone else in the game… Doctor, Mom, and next U.S. Senator for South Carolina! secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

“South Carolina Democrats can’t even win a 2nd house seat, how can they win statewide?” The SC map is so gerrymandered that statewide races range D40-45% while the Dems in congressional races get 28-42% (yikes). Believe it or not, statewide SC races may be more viable than SC01 or SC02.

A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Team Lisa forever and ever. #scpol

I doubt there is anyone out there with intentions more pure than my buddy Annie Andrews, who is the smartest, strongest, and wittiest person I know. She will change the country & the world if we give her the chance 🩷 t.co/kIQC5R2X8m

LISA ELLIS IS RUNNING AGAIN!!!!! Lisa Ellis outperformed EVERY statewide Democrat in 2022, a notoriously awful election year in SC. I just sent $250 her way because I believe in her! Who will join me? secure.actblue.com/donate/lisa-...

I actually think at this time in America when our president is terrorizing his own citizens to distract from the fact that his best friend ran the most notorious child s*x rings of all time is a phenomenal time to elect a pediatrician to the U.S. Senate. secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

Lindsey Graham is obsessed with being Trump’s loyal boy toy, and he’s addicted to supporting predators. It’s way past the time to send him packing and put @drannieandrews.com in the U.S. Senate! secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

My hot take about 107 days: Kamala Harris tried her hardest to save us from fascism and the American people chose tyranny instead. Let that woman get her bag!

There are a lot of new folks here so I wanted to reintroduce myself. 👋 I’m a mom, a pediatrician, and person who is willing to say what needs to be said. And I am a Democrat running to send Lindsey Graham home. youtu.be/OEBFi3kxNP4

Trump is losing his mind, Elon Musk is in a K-hole, Lindsey Graham’s approval is at 34%, and 2026 is about to be totally unpredictable… so I just gave $500 more to my friend US Senate candidate @AnnieAndrews.com to send Graham packing! Who is with me? secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

I am so proud of my friend, mentor, confidant @drannieandrews.com… she is moving full steam ahead in her run to unseat Lindsey Graham, who *must* be retired after 2 decades of flip-flopping and lining his own pockets! For the kids, and for South Carolina ❤️ secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

I don’t usually weigh in for primaries, but this one is really important to me. secure.actblue.com/donate/polit...

Dr. Annie Andrews has officially announced her bid for South Carolina Senate Thursday morning, preparing to run against current Republican senator Lindsey Graham.

At least seven of the cited sources in the ‘MAHA report’ do not even actually exist. For example, the document listed epidemiologist Katherine Keyes as first author of a study on anxiety in adolescents… “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes said.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

I just gave $500 to support my friend Dr. Annie Andrews, who is running for US Senate against Lindsey Graham — who wants to match me?! @drannieandrews.com for the win! secure.actblue.com/donate/drobr...

I’m having a hard time processing the level of both idiocy and malicious trolling being used by over 50% of the people who are supposed to care about this country and everyone in it.

I think this is my dream ticket (at the moment)

This is so awful from Nancy Mace on her vote against allowing new mom’s to utilize proxy voting for 12 weeks after birth… “As a woman and a mom I think making duly elected women choose between the wellbeing of their infant and their duty to vote is just wonderful” like WTF?

“Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, and even Anna Paulina Luna should be ashamed of themselves. Congress came close to solving a real problem to help moms and their newborns, and GOP leadership fully tanked it. We all deserve better.” open.substack.com/pub/donttrea...

Fresh cut from my gay barber who threatened to b*tch slap me??? My powers are FULLY recharged!!!

Barely 3 months into 2025 and we have exceeded the total number of cases of measles in 2024. Meanwhile, Trump & RFK Jr’s CDC seems to be downplaying the outbreak’s dire status — as well as downplaying the best way to combat it: The MMR vaccine. www.propublica.org/article/meas...

This combo is *chef’s kiss* I love my neighborhood 🥰

“In short, the Trump administration, Elon Musk’s DOGE, and RFK Jr. are halting lifesaving funds for babies, and Black babies and their moms will be disproportionately harmed.” Please read my latest for @donttreadonkids.bsky.social and call your representative. open.substack.com/pub/donttrea...

My latest with Don’t Tread On Kids… I read Project 2025 so you don’t have to (though I recommend everyone should), and defunding Medicaid is only the beginning.

I got a bit personal this morning, talking about my own journey with depression and why RFK Jr and Donald Trump’s attack on antidepressants is unfounded & dangerous. My latest w/ @donttreadonkids.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/donttrea...

As I sat and typed my notes, I couldn’t help but wonder… When was the last time anyone asked ME about how MY tummy feels?

IMPORTANT: Look 👀 at this new leaf!!!

This is arguably the most important article I wish I didn’t have to write.

Parents: What You Need to Know About Measles @drobrienmd.bsky.social dispels myths and gets into the real talk about how you can protect your little ones from measles! open.substack.com/pub/donttrea...

I can’t help but pose the question: What is the opposite of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? A thesaurus would tell us: Uniformity, Inequity, and Omission. That doesn’t sound very American to me.

Being anti-diversity, anti-equity, and anti-inclusion is literally the same as being racist & pro-segregation. These programs and initiatives and research all exist to make sure equal opportunity is based on merit for all. IT IS LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF THE REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT

Hell isn’t hot enough for Nancy Mace’s wretched excuse of a soul. Sorry.

Okay maybe this is the best piece I’ve written so far for DTOK @donttreadonkids.bsky.social … it’s comical yet deadly serious. Donald Trump: A Real Life Farquaad? open.substack.com/pub/donttrea...

Selena Gomez spoke up for “children” and “my people” …and the president is using mourning mothers to attack her and demonize all immigrants. Disgusting.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Donald Trump is and always will be a racist piece of shit.

They’re stopping WIC payments. WIC provides nutrition (& healthcare) to pregnant women & children under 5. Despite being massively underutilized, >50% of all US babies rely on WIC. Every $1 spent on prenatal WIC benefits saves >$3 in healthcare expenses (mostly to taxpayers) in the 1st yr of life

I think we are all learning disturbingly quickly how many people in our lives would have done absolutely nothing to prevent the holocaust if we had lived in 1930s Germany…

I poured a piece of my heart into this one. If it helps just one single reader, it was worth it! Love y’all 🩷
