What children in poverty could lose from the 'Big Beautiful Bill'
Republicans want to change or reduce key social safety net programs that provide health care, food benefits and financial assistance for millions of children.

If you're wondering why all the pediatricians you know are feeling worried and angry - this is it right here. I really encourage you to read the article and use these facts to help advocate for our children.

Couldn’t be prouder! Join us tomorrow night at Random Row at 530 for a launch event!!!
I’m running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District because families and workers deserve a fair shot. Costs keep rising while salaries aren’t - and MAGA Republicans are cutting food & health care to fund corporate tax breaks instead of defending Virginia’s families.

Can confirm city roads are not excellent- be careful out there. We’re open if you have a scheduled appointment or a sick kid!
Cville area driving conditions in the last half-hour to hour have dramatically deteriorated, and CAT is pulling buses off the routes as passengers are cleared off them because so many buses have become stuck or in accidents.

Looking for a #GivingTuesday option that will keep giving? Maybe something that will help folks being terrorized by the current regime? Give to the Central Virginia Community Support Fund, a grassroots, all-volunteer effort that pays immigration bond for Virginians detained by ICE.

This article is absolutely devoid of context and the irony of the head of the group who insisted on delineating deaths with Covid versus by Covid now suggesting with no data included that these deaths were by the Covid shot is unsurprising but 😡😡😡😡
Vinay Prasad’s desperate need for Twitter relevance during a viral pandemic will ultimately cause untold numbers of preventable deaths
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

We would love money, time & resources to learn more about autism. We need to know more about causes & therapies. One thing that HAS been answered clearly and scientifically is that vaccines do not cause autism- confusing and misleading people is a distraction and a waste of time we can’t afford.

3/ The U.S. also spends far more on health care than any other wealthy nation, yet Americans live shorter, sicker lives. Infant & maternal mortality, chronic disease, and preventable deaths all rank near the worst. A key reason is that we underinvest in primary care and social supports.

1/ We might be nearing the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. But even if Congress extends #ACAsubsidies, the debate in Washington is way too small. The real issue isn’t actually the subsidies, it’s how completely insane our health care system has become. 🧵

People seem to be falsely equating “a calm demeanor” with civility.
A slur said with a smile is still a slur. Dehumanizing language couched within “Hey, friend, agree to disagree…” is still violence. It’s not your tone that dictates civility, it’s your words, actions, and beliefs.
