- This sounds like a fun field trip to a working colonial farm but I just want to be able to afford food that doesn’t give me diarrhea or tuberculosis
- “When it comes to .. raw milk, I want to be free to form a relationship with a local farmer, look him in the eyes, pet his cow, and then decide if I feel safe to drink the milk from his farm.” — Casey Means, Trump’s latest surgeon-general nominee. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

- Here’s everything you need to know about the FDA’s latest appointee. Prasad’s pick-me energy—boosting and defending Kennedy, justifying Trump’s cuts—paid off. Now, the admin has another doctor with a history of casting doubt on COVID mitigations and mRNA vaccines in a critical public health role.

- Absolute freak. In 2016 all I was thinking was “How the hell do I owe more in student loans today than I did a year ago when I’m paying $1,000 per month?!” That thought continues to persist 9 years later as I’ve increased my balance about $60K even while continuing to pay ~$1K/month
- Beneficence. Literally my day one topic discussion for new students/residents. Will be having it tomorrow as a matter of fact
- You can tell that Makary, Hoeg, Bhattacharya, etc., are not real research scientists because doing the study that Makary and Hoeg claim to want - and can barely justify even by lying - would actually be considered unethical and violate research standards. They just want to block this vaccine.

- RFK Jr: An American teenager today has less testosterone than a 68 year old man. Sperm counts are down 50 percent. WATTERS: Wait -- an American teenager has less testosterone than a 68 year old man? RFK JR: That's right
- What a weird way to say “I inject T supplements in my ass.”Gender affirming care for me but not for thee
- This story seems like proof that we are no longer a nation of laws. The Regime “mistakenly” sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a human being with protected status in the U.S., to a torture camp in El Salvador. The Regime says they can’t get him back. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
- We live is a fascist state
- The fact this is where we are as a society is wild:“I know you don’t care about your life, or the life of your neighbors. But, don’t you care about your job and bank account?” Complete devolution of our society into late-stage capitalism. www.newsweek.com/jerome-adams...
- Let’s make one thing clear. The main purpose of this bill is cruelty. It’s to intimidate people from seeking needed medical attention. Not only is this unnecessarily cruel to our large immigrant community here in AZ, but public health effects would be detrimental. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

- Was this done through the University? 1. Where’s their HRPP? 2. Their IRB? 3. Are they AAHRP accredited? Fuck ethics I guess. At what point do we just observe untreated syphilis again? What’s old is new again. Just look at the autism/vaccine research announcement 🫠
- Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster. It would be a disaster. And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people. From my interview on @allinwithchris.bsky.social:
- You are disgustingly weak. If you want to roll over and die, go back to NY to do that. Let your Governor send someone to Washington that actually wants to stand up and fight back
- If you have a Dem Senator, call their offices tonight. They won’t answer, leave a message. Tell them to vote NO on the CR. The number for the Senate switchboard is 202-224-3121. You can also find their numbers at senate.gov. Can’t believe how weak Dem Leadership is….

- Thank you Banner Health for shining a spotlight on the importance of evidence-based medicine in gender affirming care. Banner continues to lead from the front by remaining dedicated to equitable healthcare for ALL.
- It is embarrassing the lengths Democrats go to separate “MAGA” or “Extreme MAGA” from “Normal” Republicans. Stop bending over backwards to add qualifiers. Call them what they are. REPUBLICANS.
- The extreme MAGA Republican budget will close hospitals, shut down nursing homes and deprive children of healthcare. There are 215 Democrats in the House who actually want to love and cherish Medicaid, not destroy it. We only need three House Republicans to join us.

- Alexa will be getting a lot more use at Phoenix Children's now that they have decided to forgo practicing evidence based medicine and instead capitulate in the erasure of a minority group.
- Did you know, studies show that hormone therapy as part of gender affirming care decreases depression by >60%, and suicidality by >70%? This decision will directly increase the amount of dead children in Phoenix. But congratulations on your Alexa I guess?
- @katiehobbs.bsky.social this will actively kill children in our state. Gender affirming care decreases depression in adolescents by >60% and suicidality >70%. At what point is it time to fight back? www.12news.com/article/news...

- As a practitioner of evidence-based medicine, I have a duty to point out that the evidence is clear. More gender affirming care, in all forms, equals less dead children. The cost of these heinous acts on transgender children will be human life.

- We all know the atrocities the new administration will oversee during the next 4 years. But what about what has happened the last year, and what is happening now? This is placed squarely at the feet of Dem leadership. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov y’all need to fucking wear this.

- At my institution, this NIH situation is a nightmare. Some studies are up in the air and no one really knows what will happen going forward. Others, like the RECOVER Platform protocol studying long COVID, will not have funding renewed and will be shutting down. Medical research catastrophe.
- Doing research at an academic medical center, we participate in a wide variety of NIH funded trials. I fear the next 4 years will set medical research back decades. The medical community has a responsibility to stand up and be vocal about this.

- So ALL research back decades. Not just medical research. Absolutely fucking disgusting.
