It was HOT yesterday, but my family and I wanted to be counted among those taking a stand against authoritarianism in the USA. We were present. This is what democracy looks like. #NoKingsDay Denver

It was so special to share the podium with Eric Borstein in Medicine Grand Rounds at @nationaljewish.org yesterday and enjoy a great time with our team the night before.

Having a great time and learning a ton at the @nationaljewish.org CV Symposium: Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes: The Next Era of Prevention. AND I got to see Dr. @erinmichos.bsky.social and ask her all my pressing cardiology questions. 🫀❤️👊

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH.

Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH.

HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH.

99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH.

Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women

The Women’s Health Initiative has produced numerous influential findings

Thankful for a Happy Easter with my family yesterday. Couldn’t help but think: Imagine if all of us who celebrate this holiday truly reflected and embraced these words. If we truly embraced compassion and radical love for our fellow humans, well, we would be living in a very different world.

I have been thinking about this a lot too.

Been thinking a lot lately about the morals of Jesus of Nazareth.

As a tan man from the Middle East, if Jesus were an undocumented American immigrant, I wonder if angry mobs would get ICE to deport him — especially for speaking out against greed and advocating for the poor.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
