Great news coming out of Maryland! We're excited to see them move closer to a #PriceCap on some of the most expensive prescription drugs. Lots of great advocacy by our friends at @mdhealthcareforall.bsky.social marylandmatters.org/2025/11/17/m... #Oregon #UpperPaymentLimit #PDAB #HealthPolicySky

The MAHA love-hate affair with science has RFKj red in the face, maybe eating his own words upset his biome. Worms hate Ozempic! GIFT ARTICLE: Kennedy Walks a Tightrope on Trump Deal for Obesity Drugs www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/h...

On peut tu dire à cet inculte que le manifeste de Marx et Engels a été publié en 1848…🙄

I hope that today’s RESOUNDING VICTORY serves as a stark reminder that We The People Will NEVER Tolerate the Takeover of Our Government and that There Will Be Severe Consequences to all this Lawlessness. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Welcome!

I’m excited about my Congressman and other Dems holding the line against the GOP’s failure to protect the health of all Americans.

A couple times I submitted a formal complaint to @raskin.house.gov office and received prompt responses. But Medicare always requires the contractors to self-investigate. So guess what, it keeps happening. (Makes me wonder if the whole federal bureaucracy is waging war against blue states.)

Mine is booked already. Darn

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

To those considering a degree in public health or already working in the field: We need you. Public health provides the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Don’t lose hope, stay inspired, and let that motivation guide your journey. open.substack.com/pub/carlosrd...

Bad Bunny’s monologue on SNL last evening. He proved again why he’s one of the biggest artists on the planet. He definitely exposed America’s cultural insecurity. When someone speaks Spanish on national TV, half the country panics. #BadBunny #USDemocracy #Pinks

Thank you @artcap.bsky.social dead on target. Perhaps @alsobrooks.senate.gov would be interested in what went on in Maryland

Valuable thread about health care dysfunction being discussed by a xenophobic federal executive.

Sad to read Jane Goodall has died. She inspired a whole generation of biologists and conservationists. Read my first book by her in high school. We also happen to share a birthday😊. An absolute LEGEND, the world is lucky to have experienced her talent and compassion. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

MAGA Republicans just shut the government down rather than reverse their savage cuts to the health care of our people. Cut out the stupid racist videos & let’s pass federal funding which keeps the people healthy & our government going. My full statement:

A new Cochrane review finds RSV vaccines are safe and effective, offering strong protection for older adults and for infants when mothers are vaccinated during pregnancy. Adverse events were minimal. More at: www.cidrap.umn.edu/respiratory-...

This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔

Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel: We’re told you have video of Trump official Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash bribes stuffed into a CAVA bag in exchange for corruptly steering government contracts. America smells a rat. Release the tapes now!

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

Final post re: ACIP meetings. Mary is upset which I take as a good sign.

Hilarious. Genius. Must watch.

Timely and informative thread here. It’s odd that RFKj refuses to consider the role of genes in autism. Is he afraid of what his genes could reveal? Maybe, but you can’t talk about making vaccines safer without discussing vaccine genomics.
