I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

Is MAHA actually

Make America Healthy Again? NO.

It’s

Make America Hazardous Again.

Every action taken by this administration and their “health” appointees is HARMING people, our lived environment, the planet, and public health.

RFK Jr. speaking about autistic children:

“These are kids who will never pay taxes, they’ll never hold a job, they’ll never play baseball, they’ll never write a poem, they’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

Thank you @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov for coming to Salt Lake City, and for speaking to and inspiring Americans across our country! Your voices are so important, especially as politicians on both sides do not seem to be listening to or sharing the concerns of so many Americans!

1/ Julio Zambrano Perez, an asylum seeker, is one of the Venezuelans the Trump administration sent to El Salvador.

His wife Luz says their older daughter asks about him every day. She wonders if her father doesn't love her anymore. For now, Luz tells her he’s at work but that he’ll come back.
Her husband is trapped in a Salvadoran prison. She has no idea how to get him back.
Ripped apart by Trump, one Venezuelan family endures another hell: silence.

If RFK Jr, Marty Makary, & Jay Bhattacharya ACTUALLY cared about preventive health, they’d support

Vaccines
Water Fluoridation
Nutrition for low income families
Food safety (food inspection & pasteurization)

Guess what?
They oppose these safe, beneficial, & cost-effective health interventions.

NIH funds 30,000 employees in DC and 300,000+ people are funded in all 50 states.

No NIH $ kills hospitals
No Medicaid kills hospitals
No job = no insurance, no Medicaid safety net

Lots of death and despair

Reviewing the work that DOGE is publicizing, including the apparent “receipts” of cancelled or halted federal spending, it feels like the kind of work that you would expect expect from a computer project for a junior high schooler.

It’s been a few generations, but honestly I’m surprised how many Americans, including politicians are totally content to fulfill this prophecy…

Can Musk use AI to exploit government data without direct access? Using federated learning, inference attacks, homomorphic encryption exploits, differential privacy weaknesses, and adversarial AI to extract insights, leveraging sensitive info for his benefit without needing to “steal” the raw data.
