I support more nutrition education in medical school
But if the real intent is better eating, why the devastating cuts to SNAP?
How about guaranteed coverage for nutrition counseling with a dietitian instead of taking away health insurance for many?
Substance in health policy matters.
😂
To those who didn’t bend a knee and stood up from Day 1 to the lies and nonsense from RobertKennedyJr and the charlatans that surround him, the general public agrees with you in a big way.
The *vast* majority has had enough of the insanity and chaos
A new day is coming
“Each time someone stands up for an ideal, they send forth a tiny ripple of hope.”
Love this narration by @joe-scarborough.bsky.social on why our mission at @ms.now is so vital, especially now.
Very proud to be this network’s medical analyst.
Innovations in medical devices are allowing us to better care for our patients and save lives
The leaps are remarkable and bring renewed hope
I’m grateful for the warm invite from Medtronic to speak to your hardworking Latin American teams in beautiful São Paulo.
Special work in a special place!
Hope everyone will read this brilliant piece from @katherineeban.bsky.social on Casey Means.
Surgeon generals usually represent the very best of the medical community. Means isn’t even a part of it, by her own choosing.

No ICE in schools. No ICE in hospitals.
Under Governor Newsom’s leadership, California is implementing the nation’s strongest laws to protect our residents from tactics being employed by President Trump and Stephen Miller’s secret police.
ICE is directly interfering with medical care in hospitals and clinics nationwide
Nearly 40 have died, with critical meds and care being withheld
That’s not justice, it’s inhumanity
Thankfully @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is taking the lead in safeguarding patient care.
The White House medical team didn’t know POTUS got a CT scan. They claimed it was a MRI for weeks.
Now instead of acknowledging he might have a pre-cancerous skin condition, they dance around the issue.
Trying to fool the public just makes it worse.
California is seeing real progress in addressing homelessness:
“We’re grateful for the investments the state has made under Gov. Newsom’s bold and visionary leadership… we saw homelessness decrease in Alameda County for the first time in more 10 years — 11% reduction in unsheltered homelessness”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

NEW! From the same clueless Republicans who brought you doubling premiums: $31,000 deductibles.
Only an out of touch billionaire would think that counts as affordable.
Reading this and thinking of the kinder, more humane world we’d be living in had President Hillary Clinton shepherded our nation during the early days of COVID and ever since.
Imagine how much better we’d feel about the future of this planet
@hillaryclinton.bsky.social
Millions of moms struggle with depression during their pregnancy.
America deserves a Surgeon General who can state plainly that SSRIs are SAFE for the majority of pregnant women.
We don't need more junk science charlatans. I'm voting NO on Casey Means' confirmation.
Great to be with my friend and colleague @meiselasb.bsky.social on the sidelines of his class at USC Law School.

The United States Surgeon General has had iconic, respected clinician leaders who have represented the very best of our profession and driven forward vital progress on tobacco control, HIV/AIDS, and mental health.
Casey Means does not fit this profile. She is not qualified for this sacred role.
We did a deep accountability check on the substance of Trump’s healthcare claims last night.
Check out more here across all topics:

The President will misrepresent the truth tonight, especially on his healthcare record.
Sure, there’s been talk on ultraprocessed foods and some positive progress on digital health tech.
The rest? A catastrophic failure, and by far the worst healthcare record in memory. We are far worse off.
Classic Trumpian hyperbole and nonsense on healthcare:
-TrumpRx has 43 medications. Thats it. No new price rebates. It’s a menu for 43 meds, no new discounts.
-He has no plan for healthcare. Sending Americans a small check isn’t healthcare. That’s the plan.

First, @whitehouse-47.bsky.social orders increased production of glyphosate — a potent toxin to human health.
They follow it up with this move to ensure more Mercury in the air we breathe.
“MAHA” is proving to be all marketing, no substance
MAHA “accomplishments” as we approach the SOTU:
-Saunas back!
-Acid rain, back!
-Smog year round: back!
-Measles, back!
-24million + with no healthcare, back!
-Promising new cancer treatments? Gone!
-The best and brightest next gen science talent? Gone!
Let the spin begin!

Please join us virtually on March 12 for COURIER’s MAHA & the Midterms event in partnership with 3.14 Action.
I’ll be speaking along with healthcare powerhouses to break down what’s happening and what’s at stake for families.

Dr. Oz appears to have invited Jeffrey Epstein to a Valentines Day party in 2016, long after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting sex with underage girls.
If only I had a nickel for every time someone stops me with warm words and then says “Sanjay, you look younger in person.” 🤔
The EPA no longer exists. Its actions yesterday were an act of appeasement for the oil and gas industry, the very sector it’s meant to oversee.
POTUS doesn’t care about your health or your child’s health.
Society will bear the costs of this selfishness.
Peak irony is environmental lawyer and “MAHA” spin master RobertKennedyJr serving as our top health official just as the goons EPA destroy that agency and bring back toxic smoke and acid rain.
