My staff and I are closely tracking the potential measles exposure in San Antonio that originated with a visitor from West Texas. If you visited any of the locations listed below, please watch out for symptoms (including fever or unexplained rash) and contact a doctor right away if they occur.

Knowledge is power…

"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it." - John Lewis. It's not enough to simply recognize something is wrong; we have a moral duty to act.

With help from Child #2, great success!! #garden #zone7b

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.

This weekend’s attempt at gardening: cleaning out this mess of a raised bed. The previous homeowners planted all of this with mint. Mint. 😭😭😭

Huge protest outside the USAID building today against Trump and Musk's illegal shutdown.

I’m Southern and like many Southerners I grew up with a large garden. My family grew most of our vegetables. It wasn’t fancy or to prove a point; it’s just what people did. As an adult I have gardened on and off as my schedule allows. More off than on and usually without great success. 🧵

Trump is a One-Dimensional Negotiator I'm going to get a little wonky and write about Donald Trump and negotiations. For those who don't know, I'm an adjunct professor at Indiana University - Robert H. McKinney School of Law and I teach negotiations. Okay, here goes.

Speechless. Currently in the hospital as the Pediatric Infectious Disease Attending & access to vital info is limited. My duty to each child that I take care of is to have to most up to date information - in order to provide the best possible care. This is unacceptable www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution. His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017. Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

The last TikTok I saw was @chescaleigh.bsky.social singing her Leopards Eating Faces song about the Trump voters who travelled for the inauguration and are being left out in the cold. I’m sad to see TT go but I could not have asked for a more perfect ending. #tiktok #tiktokban

2024 Sarah had big expectations for 2025 Sarah’s time management skills.

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

I just finished “The Sword of Kaifeng” by ML Wang. One of the best character arcs I’ve ever read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s time for pediatricians to SPEAK UP.

AOC was on track to secure the votes to become the next ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. Then Nancy Pelosi threw her weight around to secure the votes for 74 year-old Gerry Connolly, who announced he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last month. Nancy Pelosi needs to retire.

This jackass was NOT elected to public office and has NO says so over the actions of Congress or the CURRENT President sitting in office. None. Zero.

It’s a Kendrick Lamar kind of day.

OMG I AM DYING I AM DEAD. Ummm HIIIIIIIIIII!!!! If this isn’t real i don’t want to know. @am-eddieizzard.bsky.social

The court gods have smiled upon me and the case is settled pre-trial. I don’t like peaking on a Monday, but I’ll take it.

I’m old enough to remember the catastrophic toll of HIV/AIDS denial by South African President Thabo Mbeki, which led to >300,000 AIDS deaths. I never thought that 20 years later, an HIV/AIDS denialist would be tapped for the helm of health policy in the US. RFK Jr MUST be rejected #WorldAIDSDay

Bracing for it to be a busy week. We tend to see an uptick in patient referrals from Thanksgiving-Valentine’s Day. I also have more court shenanigans scheduled which may be 1 day, may be 2 days. But hey…Saturday is my birthday. Just got to make it there.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

We’re visiting the husband’s extended relatives for Thanksgiving and I have to say we’re having a lovely, easy time. Everyone here voted for Harris. We are lucky to be with supportive family. It feels like taking a breath.

We are 3 weeks in to a kitchen renovation and we don’t have a range or an oven. I have a hot plate, an instant pot, and a slow cooker. Someone please tell me what to make for dinner.

It’s official…the 12 yo has a broken wrist. She was the last remaining “never broke a bone” person in our family. She also made it the longest without breaking anything out of all of us. She is displeased that her record has come to an end.

I am sure that this relief will be short-lived and will be replaced by fresh horrors, but I am enjoying a breath where a child trafficker is not our next Attorney General.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.
