Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

🛟 That last-ditch chemo trial your family member was hoping to be in 🥙 The investigation of a food-borne illness outbreak in the next town over 🧠The study looking for preventable causes of Alzheimer’s 🧪The assurance that TAXPAYER-PAID-FOR studies & data collection see the light of day

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

How do we close out a Valentine’s Day such as this. By saying we’re proud. Only 423 of us took the fork offer. And while Trump and Musk slashed 1 in 10 of us this week, others found a way to keep on working. Because unlike them, we take our oaths seriously. Take time to grieve. Don't give up hope. 🥄

Tomorrow, I'm doing a webinar for clinicians who want to advocate for Medicaid with their federal elected leaders, as Medicaid faces existential threats. Clinicians are some of the best possible advocates for Medicaid, and I am really, really good at this. We won't waste your time. 🧵

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

This is not a joke. It is likely that ACIP recommendations will be scaled back (or vanish) under RFK, Jr. and be ceded to state authorities. But insurers may not cover vaccinations not recommended by ACIP. Get yourself and your loved ones updated ASAP.

A bright spot today: An MMWR has been released on the seroprevalence of H5 bird flu. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...
