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...

“When Tyranny Knocks and the Courts Stay Silent—Will the People Finally Rise, or Bow to a Dictator?” medium.com/@gxldsociety...

they are busy insider trading

How ugly is the State of our Union? There’s a belief that public Education is a plague, healthcare is unnecessary, science is out of step w/ superstition, wages should be at third world levels, the military industrial complex is underfunded, our environment comes 2nd to coal & people are just pawns.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Super cool website that will show you how much the health research cuts will cost your state (or county!) For Indiana this will cost $193 million and 832 jobs This seems bad

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

My grandparents were natural born German citizens. Until they weren't. I have copies of their documents, stamped "cancelled" by the government.

Some people LOVE to tell me that scientists have lost public trust because we were wrong about something, we communicated badly, we swore or cried or acted fallibly human, or whatever. That’s bullshit. Scientists lost public trust because disinformation campaigns like this stole it & eradicated it.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected. That's not something you get over.

Yay America…we have been added to the global human rights watchlist over declining civil liberties….joining Serbia, Italy, Pakistan and the DRC….so is America great yet? time.com/7266334/us-h...

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

Good news alert! CDC data restored. restoredcdc.org/www.cdc.gov/

I could think of few things as wasteful with regard to taxpayer dollars as relitigating a question that has been answered using data from millions of children across multiple countries across the world, largely under the impetus of work subsequently shown to be fraudulent

Learning about aquascaping, aquaponics, and caring for shrimp and fish has been so rewarding. It brings me peace after a tough day rounding on patients in the hospital.

Is the Democratic leadership suggesting now is not the time to be disruptive? If not now, when? Because it really seems like now is the time…

Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Can we stop saying people don’t “believe in” vaccines? Vaccines are real and they are proven. These people just deny science because they’re ignorant. (And, yes, it is ignorance because even their own religion doesn’t actually oppose vaccination.)

The canary has died. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Suppressing data will not make birdflu disappear Firing USDA staff will not help end the outbreak. Crippling public health agencies will not bring down egg prices. Viruses don't consider politics in how they spread and adapt. They seize opportunity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

It is both breaking my heart and making me incandescently angry that one of the few silver linings of covid is the rapid progression of mRNA vaccine treatments for cancers - right as the GOP has declared all out War both on science as a whole and on mRNA vaccines specifically.

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again

Every vaccine already requires informed consent by law. This is pure antivaxx disinformation, now coming from the CDC.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Cuts to NIH spending framed as saving $4 billion. But NIH funding generates returns -not just in terms of improved health- but economic returns. On average each dollar spent generates over $2 in economic activity. In MO, $800m in NIH funding supports $1.89 billion in economic activity, 8,500 jobs.

The removal of #HIV- and #LGBTQ-related resources from the websites of CDC and other health agencies is deeply concerning. Access to this information is crucial for ID and HIV health care professionals. Our full statement: https://buff.ly/42AO8LI

Confession: I LOVE hyponatremia 🤓 (I know, I know. What can I say, I'm a true internist!) HypoNa is often feared, maligned, and misunderstood - but I promise it doesn't have to be scary! Here are my top 10 hyponatremia tips and tricks - a 🧵 #emimcc

Today I fielded a call from a colleague about “recurrent UTI” in a nursing home resident. It turned into a great diagnostic stewardship opportunity where I shared this great resource from AHRQ on talking to residentes and families about UTI/ASB. www.ahrq.gov/sites/defaul... #IDSky #MedSky #UTISky

Squeaky wheel gets the oil but if it squeaks too much it might just get replaced.

You know the coolest thing about video games? It’s that they are literally the ultimate art form. Want an interactive way to showcase your drawings? How about interactive/dynamic music? What if you wanted to tell a story that only gets deeper the more you engage with it? Video games :)
