Donald Trump wants to eliminate the ACA but he doesn’t have a plan - or even a “concept of a plan” - to replace it.

It’s hard to believe that we are at the point where Republicans are attacking Democrats over efforts to feed our neighbors. #LetThemEatCake

Meet Rob from Tigerton. He grew up farming, volunteers despite living with a developmental disability, and was recently named “Outstanding Volunteer” for helping to beautify his home town. Like 1 in 8 neighbors, he relies on SNAP - and he’s worried - but he continues to step up and help others.

Congressional Republicans are entering week seven of their paid vacation while their constituents’ healthcare premiums are skyrocketing and children are going hungry. This isn’t about politics. It’s about basic humanity.

Proud to be part of the Free & Just community—a network of storytellers and advocates standing together for ourselves, each other, and the millions across our nation whose stories have yet to be told.

Do our political views affect the way we consume health information? In a word: yes. Liz Hamel from @kff.org breaks it down with me and Miles on the latest episode of the Committee to Protect Health Care's Paging America podcast.

I just need to put this out in the universe: I have the privilege of working with the most inspiring group of people. So very grateful!

Virginia friends - let’s gooooooo! #VoteEarly

We're talking/shouting about MENOPAUSE on "The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show"! “It’s not just about hormones,” Dr. Anita Bublik-Anderson of Pause Medicine says. “It’s about living with strength, vitality, and intention. LISTEN: wherever you get your podcasts WATCH: YouTube @drkristinlyerly

Just thinking about how Jesus fed hungry people while Trump is busy finding new and different ways to starve them.

Proud to work alongside these incredible leaders ensuring access to reproductive healthcare in the Midwest. Thank you Society for Family Planning for creating the space for us to elevate our lifesaving work. The barriers are real, but so are the solutions we're building together.

Checking in for my flight today, I asked a TSA agent how he was doing. He just shook his head and looked down. “Some of us are going to food banks. The government should be embarrassed.” Trump and the GOP have all the power to fix this. They don’t care about us.

"The thing about reproduction is that, more than anything else, it tells you how a society values people." - Dorothy Roberts @societyfp.bsky.social #SFP2025

So many wonderful colleagues and friendly faces at the Society for Family Planning meeting this weekend, all of us focused on one thing: fighting to ensure that our patients can get the care they need and deserve @societyfp.bsky.social

Harry is a true American hero. Please repost in support if you agree.

The quality of posts and replies on social media from folks who adhere to the extreme right following the #nokings rallies appears to be descending rapidly to middle school insults, name-calling, and profanity. I think the Trump administration is even starting to make them uncomfortable.

Donald Trump just got his Covid booster and flu shot, have you?

This weeks’ episode of “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show” is LIVE & now STATEWIDE across the CivicMedia radio network! Join me and my colleague Dr. Laura Hanks (at Your Cervix) for a fun & intimate conversation with 2 gynecologists about…well, I guess you’ll have to listen and find out now, won’t you?

My congressman - Tony Wied - got caught lying by local TV news. So he… repeated the same lie. He’s betting we won’t fact-check him. We’re proving him wrong. The truth: Immigrants aren’t why healthcare is unaffordable. Billionaire tax cuts are.

Politicians: tough it out Doctors: fevers during pregnancy are dangerous and Tylenol is the safest option you have Also doctors: why are we even having this conversation Full episode with Dr. Hanks (at Your Cervix) on “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show”, Saturdays at noon @civicmedia.us & podcast!

On the last day of #WomenInMedicine month, I want to acknowledge all my extraordinary colleagues, especially my fellow OBGYNs. It’s a hell of a time to be a doctor in this country. I’m proud to serve with you. 💙

The Trump administration used more taxpayer dollars TODAY to blame Democrats for the looming government shutdown than they have spent EVER on Medicaid for “illegal aliens”.

Republicans control everything and they’re STILL racing to shut down the government. Trump would rather see troops go unpaid and babies lose WIC than give an inch on healthcare. Remember this.

Federal Medicaid dollars do not fund abortions.

Today is National Coffee Day and prices are UP over 20% (and rising) since last year due primarily to Trump‘s tariffs. Pass it on.

“The art of the deal” in action! Trump needs Democratic votes to keep the government open beyond September 30 and, if this is the approach he’s taking, those votes are gonna be hard to come by.

Questions about women’s health? Dr. Laura Hanks, my colleague and friend, will be joining me later this week on “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show” to talk about Tylenol in pregnancy (it’s safe), transgender care (it’s not what you think it is), and whatever else you come up with. Drop YOUR ideas below!

This doctor and mom can’t wait to see what Donald Trump has to say later today about autism.

I never thought I would see the day when an American president would declare war on an American city. I stand with the people of Chicago.

My congressman says he “protects women” - even THOSE women? Epstein survivors begged Congress for justice & Trump called it a “hoax”. Wied trusted Trump would release the files. He didn’t. Will Wied cosponsor the Epstein Transparency Bill or abandon trafficking survivors? Wisconsin is watching 👀

I’m an OB/GYN. I deliver babies who deserve to grow up safe, especially in school. 2 kids dead in Minneapolis. Ages 8 & 10. Politicians tweet ‘thoughts & prayers’ then cash gun lobby checks. We’ve had 44 school shootings this year. This isn’t complicated. #VoteThemOut #ActuallyDoSomething
