It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The FDA’s removal of REMS for CAR T therapy is a big step forward—improving access for #myeloma patients, especially in rural and underserved areas. It lowers barriers to care and expands access to next-generation CAR T therapies and treatment combinations. #HealthEquity

A 12-year-old boy was left alone on a sidewalk after ICE took the adult with him, without any explanation or concern for his safety. Thanks to the local neighbors who stepped in. ICE’s actions are unacceptable and must be investigated.

This is NOT just cutting access to abortion. It’s limiting access to CANCER screening, birth control, screening for sexually transmitted infections. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, “Today’s decision is likely to result in tangible harm to real people.”

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

While we’re hate-watching the ACIP hearings, let’s not forget: this “gotcha!”-style vaccine skepticism circus could’ve been avoided 😡 Senator Cassidy — a physician — could have voted against RFK Jr.’s confirmation. He could have voted for science. For vaccines. For public health. But he didn’t 😢

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place before all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

I am literally begging people writing about RFK Jr. to stop giving any credence to the idea that "MAHA" is actually about making Americans healthy - it absolutely is not. It is about shaming people with chronic health conditions and substituting snake oil for science.

(1/3) 😡 Lyn Redwood—a former leader of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine propaganda machine, Children’s Health Defense—is set to present at the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee this week. She has a blatant conflict of interest and a history of spreading debunked lies about vaccines.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.
