I made a video about the shutdown, and why this government worker won’t be a pawn.

When the president and Supreme Court are both acting lawlessly, Congress must stand up and stop it.

US science is collapsing and Congress needs to act.

Republicans are fighting to ensure that Americans in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a raft of other red states pay DOUBLE what they paid before for healthcare.

What the U.S. government is doing in relation to public health is so irrational and harmful that it’s almost impossible to process it.

They are lying about how vaccines are tested. They are lying about vaccines containing “aborted fetus debris”.

This is public health malpractice.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy.

Thank you professor.🙏

Although expected, I think Congress needs to think about spirit of LDTs/Clia it really was not drafted as a route for mass commercialization of diagnostics tests but a route for niche diagnostic testing.

The FDA has long believed it has the power to regulate lab-developed tests, but it only put out the rules under former President Biden.

It would be a shame if 10s of thousands of people were to get access to this. *wink*
I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?

This is what happens when you have Elon and his DOGE go in layoff people without considering the ramifications

FDA scrambles to rehire entire teams overseeing medical devices after DOGE cut them, saying their terminations are 'rescinded effective immediately'
The FDA reinstatements followed pushback by lobbyists for the medical device industry, which pays the agency hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

One thing I want to encourage everyone is to write to their senators and congressmen. It's important to highlight issues to politicians 5calls.org can help.

This administration is so short sided. Diversity in clinical trials is important not everyone will react to the medication the same. This impacts the safety of patients. You look at history and you can see the negative impact of biased clinical studies.

US FDA drops web pages on improving clinical trial diversity
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has pulled draft guidance from its website requiring companies to test medicines and devices in diverse populations as part of a purge of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at U.S. health agencies.

This is unbelievable the administration's war on public health continues. Rather than learning from the covid pandemic this administration continues to destroy all safety measures for public health.
CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) has provided real-time data and analysis about disease outbreaks and emerging health threats without a break every week since 1960.

Until today.

Withdrawal of the US hurts Americans as it will lose worldwide disease monitoring capabilities. The WHO does deserve criticism of handling the COVID pandemic but it doesn't make sense to just withdraw from this critical organization. It's like selling your car cause it's out of windshield fluid.
