@raskin.house.gov I would like to see you and @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and others link into your defense of democracy, the attacks on health and science systems. I’m frustrated with the failure of the AMA, AAP and AAFP to call out RFKj while focusing on med. compensation. Support @apha.org loudly.

RFKj hasn’t read We’re Not Broken by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social; instead he is doing harm for political gain to autistic people and their families who are going to be struggling more due to his destructive health policies.

The next time some entrepreneur in the health policy community brings up the need for a National Patient ID. No., we should remind them of DOGE.

I am so impressed by Dr. Peter Marks, former top FDA regulator of vaccines, in this masterful interview by @cbsnews.com @margaretbrennan.bsky.social on Face the Nation. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. Ask your doctors to support the @apha.org call for Sec HHS RFKj to resign.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

This Shabbat, Jewish families around the world are entering full-on Passover mode. As we sit down to retell the story of Exodus, let us remember the women who are often left out of the tale, including the powerful Miriam.

If I have to die because of #medicaid cuts, I’m going to go down fighting. Disabled folks, this needs to push you into as much political activism as you can physically do. We must unseat republicans in the midterms, register voters, call reps daily, protest. #medisky #medsky #disability #medicare
