Dear senators @vanhollen.senate.gov & @alsobrooks.senate.gov, as an MD constituent, I'd like to express strong support for a change in the leadership of the Dem. Senate caucus. Senator @schumer.senate.gov has now demonstrated time & again that he is not equal to the task in this moment of need.

Today in history, 1969: “Sesame Street” debuts. Developer Joan Ganz Cooney wanted to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational to help underprivileged 3- to 5-year-olds prepare for kindergarten. It became the most-watched children’s TV show. /1

I want to say a huge thank you to Dr Harris, who has been a true beacon of integrity during this incredibly depressing & damaging time of Stanford-MAHA-anti-vaxx-Great Barrington Declaration anti-science kookiness
I spoke to CNN about how demoralizing it was to watch Stanford leadership stay silent while contrarians on campus launched unscientific attacks to stifle Stanford researchers. Now, those attacks have gone nationwide and much of MAHA leadership have ties to Stanford.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
