Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

President Trump and his administration are coming after Minnesota, threatening to cut off our federal funding unless we turn our backs on trans kids. This is bullying, plain and simple. And today, April 22, I filed a lawsuit to stop them. Learn more: bit.ly/mn-v-trump-lawsuit

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

The entire CDC lead program has been eliminated. Lead exposure can lead to many issues including anemia & irreversible brain damage in young children. It was <10 years ago we learned that 99,000 people in Flint Michigan had been exposed. If only eliminating programs eliminated the risk.

You probably saw pictures (or live) of the huge numbers of protestors across the country yesterday. Over a million! Which coincidentally is about the annual death toll from tuberculosis, a curable bacterial infection. Seems like a much bigger deal when you can visualize the impact like that.

If you need a reminder of why the tariffs are a public health issue as well: ▶️About 80% of our active pharmaceutical ingredients are produced abroad. ▶️About 50% of our generic drugs are manufactured overseas This means increased costs in an inevitably strained generic drug supply. Not good

As former center director at AHRQ, it is devastating to watch it be dismantled. With amazing staff, AHRQ catalyzed improvement in safety, quality, equity, etc. The US Preventive Services Task Force must be preserved. Thanks to @kffhealthnews.org for this excellent write-up. #StandwithAHRQ

My @nehgov.bsky.social grant “In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union” was canceled by “DOGE.” The project doesn’t support "the furtherance of the President's agenda.” Jews surviving genocide: out of step w/ the agenda of using Jews to destroy higher ed.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Cory Booker is STILL going. This is what resisting fascism looks like. I don’t care if it’s not a “real” filibuster. Booker is taking drastic action to show his constituents that they are not alone. More of this, please.

You might have missed this news because Senate Republicans did their best to keep it under the radar: last week, they voted to let big banks charge higher overdraft fees. It’s part of their agenda: bigger profits for big corporations, higher costs for working people.

This is senseless violence. It is terrifying, and will produce only fear and anguish. All of which is the point in our current moment, under this administration. Our students deserve to live, study, and, yes, protest, without fear of abduction. Stay safe, keep fighting.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
