I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

I am a board certified pediatrician. I’ve spent the last 24 years in private practice, along with 3 years before that of a pediatric residency. I spent every 4th night, for 3 consecutive years in the hospital, awake most nights taking care of sick kids.

Pediatrician here… I measure babies head circumferences all the time. There has never been a study to prove that C-sections allow for a larger brain, and therefore a larger head circumference. This has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

In today’s version of “Why I hate insurance companies.” I have a two month old baby whose RSV immunoglobulin was denied because it was deemed “not medically necessary.“ The immunoglobulin was given at age 2 months after October 1. 
It’s literally the fucking standard of care.

Pediatrician here. I vaccinate kids every day. Want to hear a secret? They grow up and become healthy adults who have more kids that I can vaccinate. That’s my superpower.
