If #RFKJR was serious about making America healthy again, he probably wouldn’t be having a conversation about the importance of nutrition as it relates to the impending measles epidemic while sitting at a Steak ‘n Shake chewing on french fries.

My Republican Congressman, with whom I had scheduled a meeting at his office in Washington DC, shook my hand, said he would be right back, and then promptly ran away.

👻 Stopped by Rep Wied’s office in Washington D.C. today with my ACOG colleagues to discuss Medicaid, Medicare, and making sure pregnant women in rural communities receive the best possible care. There was a brief sighting, handshakes, an “I’ll see you in a little bit” and then 💨 he was gone!

For all the reasons, Rep. Sarah McBride is my shero. #CLC2025 @acog-org.bsky.social

Did you know that WI Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel supports completely banning abortion in the state? We don't need any more politicians who want to drag us backwards and strip away our rights. Vote for Judge Susan Crawford on or before April 1. #CrawfordForCourt #StopShadySchimel #BadBrad

Just a sampling of red state OB/Gyn heroes representing our patients and colleagues in Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, Texas, Wyoming…and purple Wisconsin. #clc2025 @acog-org.bsky.social

“If I want to be a great doctor, it’s not just about being a great clinician. I also have to be a great advocate for my patients.” Dr. William Leininger, OB/Gyn @acog-org.bsky.social

Although we have the most expensive healthcare system on earth, more moms die in the United States as a result of their pregnancies than in any other developed country.

Here’s a Republican who WANTS to hear from you! ✔️3/24: Valders Community Center, noon to 1:30 p.m. ✔️3/24: Chilton Public Library, 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ✔️3/31: Kimberly Mapleview Int. School, 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. ✔️4/4: Town of Scott Board Room ✔️4/14: Egg Harbor Town Hall ✔️4/14: Kewaunee Public Library

It filled my heart with joy to cast my ballot this morning for the incredible Dr. Camille Clare, soon to be President Elect for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Our future is so very bright! @acog-org.bsky.social @cclaremdmph.bsky.social

Possible sighting, tomorrow in Suamico! Although the event inside was suddenly changed from public to private, the event outside is for all of us: dress warmly, bring your signs, and gather with many friends starting around 11am, just outside the Townline Pub. THIS is what democracy looks like!

Brad Schimel wants to take away your ability to make your own most personal healthcare decisions and, for many, he wants to take away your healthcare altogether. We’re not gonna let that happen.

This is gonna be huge! Tomorrow in Madison, healthcare providers, patients, and leaders join in solidarity to recognize the importance of reproductive health and acknowledge what’s at stake with our Supreme Court election on April 1st - hint, it’s your freedom. Now is our time!

Hey ladies, birth control is free in Canada. Soon hormone replacement therapy will be, too.

Lack of access, interference in the patient/doctor relationship, and now the undermining of our Nation’s health infrastructure all continue to make patient care more challenging, but this fearless group of leaders - from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists - will not be deterred.

Green Bay Rally for Reproductive Freedom! Join me, Rep. Amaad Rivera-Wagner, Wisconsin health care workers and patients to rally for reproductive freedom ahead of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1st. Now is the time to make our voices heard! 3/6, noon, Brown Co Courthouse

Brad Schimel really has a problem with women. “they were on the brink of losing it. You could see it in their eyes, and you could hear it in the tone of their voice” www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Today Donald Trump denied he called Ukraine leader Zelensky a "dictator" saying “I can’t believe I said that." Not only did Trump write on social media last week Zelensky was a dictator, he said it in a speech last week--that he read off the teleprompter. Trump's cognitive slide is dangerous!

It’s not too late to get your flu shot. The CDC estimates that at least 29 million flu illnesses and 16,000 flu deaths have already occurred this flu season — the highest on record since the 2009. While you’re there, might as well see if you need a measles vaccine, too. You’re gonna need it.

Wisconsin is one of two states that takes healthcare away from moms right in the middle of their postpartum recovery. We can change that.

Last seen yesterday in Washington DC, robbing from the poor and giving to the rich. Our own anti-Robin Hood is scheduled to make an appearance on Saturday 3/8 at the Townline Pub and Grill in Suamico at noon alongside the latest object of Elon Musk‘s affection, Brad Schimel.

Today, #RubberStampRep Tony Wied chose tax cuts for huge corporations and the ultra wealthy over 99% of the people he serves. Read here how to see how proud he is of voting to take away food, healthcare, and essential services from our most vulnerable neighbors. 

In five short weeks, we will determine the future of our state - what’s YOUR voting plan? Make one today: myvote.WI.gov Pro tip: if you have kids, bring them along - I’ve been doing it for decades! #ThisIsJulian

Wisconsin healthcare professionals, this one is for you! We’re gathering support from nurses, techs, doctors, and others who oppose Brad Schimel’s extreme record on reproductive rights. If you’d like to add your name to this statement please fill out this very short form: forms.gle/eQi3MUc6RXjE...

I always feel a little “discombobulated” at 6 o’clock on a Tuesday morning, but tomorrow is the real deal: culture wars in the budget, reproductive rights on tour, moms everywhere… it’s gonna be a great show!

I received this message today from a friend in Canada who had been planning a business trip to the U.S. this winter: “I will not enter the United States until you have a president who is not attacking my country.”

“Donald Trump‘s entire cabinet is DEI: Didn’t Earn It” @daniellemoodie.bsky.social nailed it

We know he’s in the District, we see scant evidence with some carefully curated Facebook posts, but his constituents on both sides of the aisle are asking: “Where’s Wied?”

Today, I texted all three of my adult sons to ensure they have a plan to vote on April 1. Now they do. Tomorrow, I’m gonna ask each of them to text three friends. See where I’m going with this? myvote.WI.gov

The USPS is enshrined within our Constitution and was subsequently established by Congress over 250 years ago. Our letter carriers deliver essential goods and information to people all over the country, especially in rural places where other services will not go.

Inflation is expected to RISE to 4.3% this year, defying Donald Trump‘s promise to “bring down prices, starting on Day One.”

The federal bad cop registry, established after the murder of George Floyd, was eliminated today with the stroke of a pen, taking with it any trust that had been slowly earned over the past five years. So much for Black History Month.

Hold up! Representatives Grothman and Fitzgerald held town halls in eastern Wisconsin today? I must’ve missed the invitation from Representative Wied. Could somebody pass that along, please?

The regularly scheduled meeting of vaccine experts at the CDC (ACIP) has been canceled for this month. I think we all know what that means.

Brad Schimel wants to take our rights away, but we’re not gonna let that happen. Make plans now to join us at the state Capitol on Tuesday, March 4 at 2 PM and show Schimel - and his buddy Elon Musk - that Wisconsinites demand freedom! Sign Up: bit.ly/reprofreedom2025 I’ll see you there!

If Elon Musk is serious about identifying fraud in our government spending, then why hasn’t he demanded that private health insurers repay the $50 billion in Medicare Advantage fraud they stole from taxpayers?

Social Security Administration building in Green Bay listed for closure on DOGE website. The property owner found out from the folks researching this story - he says he was surprised and in disbelief when he heard the news. www.wbay.com/2025/02/20/s...

Too little, too late, Senator Dr. Cassidy.

Propaganda. This federally generated resource that I used to routinely use to help take care of my patients (back when it was based in science and evidence) is now tainted and no longer trustworthy.

Bobby Whalen is a man with autism who had a job sterilizing surgical instruments at NIH. He was apparently quite good at it, but he just lost his job because of Musk’s hatchet job. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...
