Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Trump and Musk are a living monument to the worst excesses of human nature—an exhausting blend of arrogance, ignorance, greed, selfishness, narcissism, and the kind of misplaced confidence that has already fueled a thousand horrible decisions that will ultimately hurt millions of everyday Americans.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

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.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

At the direction of RFK Jr., America’s newly confirmed secretary of Health and Human Services, the CDC has suddenly fired nearly 1,300 employees in a single day. 10% of America’s vital team of health experts — considered global leaders in disease control — have been axed. Although HHS…

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

This is an excellent article about why pediatricians have been so vocal about RFK Jr and vaccine hesitancy and what we all stand to lose if he’s confirmed. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

Pediatricians are very worried and upset by the nomination of RFK Jr to head HHS and with good reason. Most people alive now have not seen the devastation and death vaccine preventable diseases cause - precisely because vaccines are extremely effective 1/3

RFK Jr just said the best doctors don't accept Medicaid. So I guess I'm not one of the best doctors. But I will continue to care for children with Medicaid or with no insurance at all. If that makes me a sub-par doctor, then I will wear that badge with honor.

Trump is itching to get his Cabinet in place. President Biden should help him by ordering FBI background checks on all Trump nominees to begin immediately.
