If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

During my 2 stints at FDA i was impressed by how passionate Americans are about their pets--this deserves attention: www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The fired staffers were tasked with making sure medications given to animals work well and are safe.

I am grieving for the many talented & dedicated FDA employees who have been mistreated & those left to do the work of protecting public health. Also for those who will be harmed by this among patients and the public. Those who are complicit in their silence will be judged harshly by history.

A better headline would be:
“Thom Tillis Voted for a Disastrous Defense Secretary Because He Loved His Senate Seat More Than Our Country.”
As Trump Threatened a Primary, a G.O.P. Holdout on Hegseth Flipped
Before Senator Thom Tillis voted to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, he worked with accusers to make the case against him in a bid to get G.O.P. leaders to scrap the vote altogether.

I sat down for a long interview with departing FDA commish Robert Califf. We covered a lot of ground: the next administration, preserving documents, Alzheimer's drugs, $SRPT, food, lies and and platitudes.

Leaving FDA, Califf is unapologetic — and warns of staff departures
In an interview, outgoing FDA commissioner Robert Califf was wary of the Trump administration but unapologetic about controversial decision during his term.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Acting like populations of people (and the individuals) don't exist is not the way to go--addressing the issues people face in health by generating high quality evidence is better, as pointed out here.
A Comment article in Nature Medicine argues that clinical research should recruit participants from LGBTQIA+ populations, which requires specific actions and policies to create affirming and welcoming environments. https://go.nature.com/3WILuQi 🧪

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

Sweden will tighten its already strict gun laws, the government said on Friday, days after a lone gunman killed at least 10 people in an attack the prime minister has called the worst mass shooting in the country’s history.

The changes would make it harder to access semiautomatic weapons, and enhance police and medical checks in license applications.
