On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember all those murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust: 6 million Jews—2/3 of Europe’s entire Jewish population wiped out—millions of political dissidents and queer & trans people, and 250,000 Roma people. Never again means never again for anyone.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I was working on my annual TB risk assessment today. I became curious about what is happening globally. It's almost like something happened in 2020 that damaged immune systems.

The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

As if Andrew Wakefield hadn’t harmed enough children, even though his work, thoroughly discredited, retracted by The Lancet, and now we’re all watching RFK Jr. pick right up with these barbaric practices on children. This is frightening. Please protect the children. www.salon.com/2025/04/14/r...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Reliable long-term weather forecasting is key to protecting communities from extreme weather. I’m proud to re-introduce the FORECAST Act with Senator Wicker. This bill ensures public health, safety, and peace of mind when there are disasters on our doorstep. www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-r...

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

Are you going to let RFK refuse to appear before the Senate HELP committee @sanders.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov ??? I have questions for him incl destroying FDA, CDC and NIH research, and killing Novavax. Why is Bill Cassidy complicit? Susan Collins?

Many medical supplies are manufactured outside of the US. I would buy additional KN95, N95 and KF94 masks now, as well as any medical supplies you regularly rely on. Even basics like bandages, Aquaphor, medicated lotion and pimple patches. Order that stuff asap.

New Yorkers, the state budget is still in negotiations and mask ban is still being discussed! Please take a few minutes and call your NY State Senator and Assemblymember and urge them not to support a mask ban and any anti-mask legislation in the state budget! #NoNYMaskBan

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

“I’m worried about H5N1 in patients who are being treated in hospitals where there are also many patients with seasonal flu because this creates opportunity for reassortment, which could produce a pandemic-capable H5N1” Can we have mandatory masking in healthcare now? Clean air? Infection control?
