Make a NY resolution to VOTE BLUE; VOTE OUT all GOP; organize friends, family, & neighbors to do the same! BAD things Trump/GOP did with their Big Ugly Bill in 2025, only get worse in 2026! Millions of Americans will lose health care coverage & see costs for health care coverage/treatment skyrocket!

1/ As 2025 wraps up, I keep thinking about how much this year asked of people. For many people, it wasn’t about big wins or milestones, it was about getting through hard, uncertain days. Showing up when things felt heavy. Adjusting plans. Relearning how to cope when life didn’t go how we expected.

It has been an exhausting few nights in the hospital, but also such a privilege to know how to make sick kids better and to reassure worried parents that they're in the right place. One more night to go before I sleep in my own bed again. Grateful for this rainbow I saw upon arriving home this AM.💪

I watched the CECOT segment that @cbsnews.com tried to bury. Honestly, no surprises. We knew about the torture and blatant human rights violations. But still devastating. And important that this is out there for when the tide turns and we hold these monsters accountable

🚨 Flu season alert 🚨
A fast-spreading H3N2 flu strain is driving cases up early. Vaccination rates are down.⚠️ ~1,900 deaths already.
Doctors warn this season could be much worse than usual. Flu shot ≠ perfect, but it lowers risk. 💉🦠
