That #Republican budget bill will damage access to #HealthCare in every single congressional district: https://www.commondreams.org/news/big-beautiful-bill-healthcare

I have a new and very tiny visitor this morning. #Gecko #Hawaii #reptiles

Remember when #RFKJr said this about #GunViolence? Yet he never mentioned it in #MAHA and keeps cutting gun violence prevention. 🤔

#Trump's #ICEGestapo arrests 2 firefighters WHILE THEY WERE FIGHTING A WILDFIRE. What the...?

The #CDC director that #RFKJr is apparently trying to oust will not go quietly. Her lawyer says Monarez “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts she chose” to protect “the public over serving a political agenda,” and added that Monarez was “targeted” for her actions. https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2025/08/27/cdc-director-susan-monarez-disputes-ouster-after-hhs-says-she-is-done-as-agencys-leader/

The Infectious Diseases Society of America doesn't like the latest #FDA announcement about #COVID #vaccines

"The number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits rose by the most in about three months last week in an initial signal that layoffs may be picking up and adding to signs the labor market is weakening."

Under #RFKJr, the #FDA wants to ban prescription #fluoride supplements, defying advice from the American #Dental Association, the American Academy of #Pediatrics, the American Academy of Pediatric #Dentistry and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry.

So apparently #WallStreet's response to #Trump firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and basically announcing that he is going to cook the books is a huge #StockMarket bump today. Just in case you thought #capitalism was anything but smoke and mirrors.

#RFKJr lies about #autism and blames people with #disabilities for the challenges they face. He is a truly awful and dangerous person. https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/washington-watch/116774

When polls show #Democrats with low approval, THIS is why:

@josh @bmacDonald94 He's working on it.

Nothing good will come of this. When in doubt, remember that #RFKLies. https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/washington-watch/116707

#Physicians take an oath to do no harm. Some physician - #politicians violate that oath regularly.
