I'm posting this at least once a day and so should as many people as possible. As a child of the sixties protests at Columbia where I was pepper sprayed, billy clubbed and dragged by the hair, I know they will plant agitators in order to create the chaos they need to justify their violence. RESIST

This is incredibly important stuff from @kkjetelina.bsky.social . The only way those of us who care about public health can reach the many folks who agree with "MAHA" is to have difficult two-way conversations. open.substack.com/pub/yourloca...

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

1/ Our #healthsystem is unraveling. And it's happening fast. Last week alone we saw silenced scientists, gutted safety nets, and cancer info teams shut down. We’re not just spinning wheels, we’re speeding toward collapse. So what would building something better really look like? 🧵

1/ This fall, #Covidvaccine eligibility is shifting and it’s not as straightforward as it should be. Mixed messages from federal agencies and delays in decision-making have created confusion. Here’s what we know so far about eligibility, approvals, and what to expect next. 🧵

1/ Happy Monday! This week’s #publichealth Dose is coming in hot. We’re tracking a possible Covid summer wave, measles outbreaks, a cucumber recall, declining maternal mental health, and the first MAHA report. Here’s what you need to know (and why it matters): 🧵

This is happening all around the country, not just in Arizona. But the Health Department isn't telling us anymore. RFK halted the bird flu vaccine work. So let's see how this works out 😑

I updated this old graph of mine. It shows that, if not for the Bush and Trump tax cuts, debt/GDP would be stable rather than rising forever. I've updated the methodology to first assume an AMT patch at Clinton levels, so I'm only attributing to the Bush tax cuts their portion of the AMT patch.

1/ #RFKJr. recently said people shouldn’t take medical advice from him. And on the surface, that makes sense—he’s not a doctor, and politicians shouldn’t be diagnosing rashes or recommending treatments.

“If your theory of winning against the authoritarians is mass peaceful protest, what’s the first word? Mass. It’s got to be big,” Greenberg said during a recent Indivisible call. “It’s got to be overwhelming. And you don’t just snap your fingers and get there. You build. You build over time.”

🧵 When authoritarian leaders attack judges as "enemies," history shows us exactly where this leads. Trump's assault on "USA HATING JUDGES" isn't just inflammatory rhetoric—it's following a script written by strongmen worldwide. But other countries show us how to fight back.

1/ Congress is debating a bill to cut #Medicaid —even though 80% of Americans oppose such cuts. If passed, an estimated 8.6 million people could lose healthcare coverage by 2034 (out of the 71.2 million people with Medicaid). This would be the largest Medicaid cut in history. Ley's talk about it👇

1/ It’s outrageous how much we pay for brand-name drugs in the U.S. An EpiPen is $600 here and just $67 in the U.K. Last week, the administration dropped an executive order to tackle #drugcosts and I'm seeing a ton of questions. So, I partnered with Dr. Aaron Kesselheim to answer them 🧵

1/ Yesterday, the FDA Commissioner, Marty Makary, and his new advisor, Vinay Prasad, unveiled a major shift in U.S. Covid-19 vaccine policy. Their bottom line: Going forward, #Covid-19vaccines will only be recommended for people over 65 or with at least one chronic condition. 🧵

We’re putting up billboards in the districts of nine vulnerable Republicans demanding that they vote against Trump’s disastrous cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. By urging constituents to call their offices, these billboards can play a big role in pressuring the GOP. But we need your help to put them up.

1/ Yesterday, #RFKJr. —the current Secretary of Health and Human Services—testified before Congress. When asked if he'd vaccinate his child against measles (in the midst of one of the worst outbreaks in recent history), he said: “I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me.”
