A statement from AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine on today’s executive order on U.S. childhood vaccines: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

What an incredible waste of time! We are governed by idiots.

Back in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.

Both Marco Rubio and Elon Musk, who led the effort to sunset the foreign aid agency, have said that no deaths have been linked to the cutting of its funding. These parents tell a different story.

well done

Such an avoidable and unbelievably tragic outcome.

@kristinestone.bsky.social loving the music this morning! Beautiful weather here in MD and I have the windows down totally enjoying my morning commute!

TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo: “weak on crime” “terrible for foreign policy” “catering to the Radical Left” “owes his position to me” “sit down and mind your own business” POPE LEO, unbothered: “We are called to love.”

It is nearly inconceivable to me and such a tragedy that we have enabled such racism to flourish within the senior ranks of the government. Fills me with rage. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled in favor of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social and issued a preliminary injunction against the CDC. The ruling pauses the Jan 2026 childhood immunization schedule revisions, blocks RFK Jr's 13 recent ACIP member appointments, and pauses all votes taken by the committee.

The U.S. was responsible for a strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

He should never hold a position of responsibility again.

We live in the dumbest of timelines.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Thankful to see the courts standing up for the rule of law when so many other institutions seem to be rolling over.

@mims.bsky.social would love to get your take on this? www.cnbc.com/2025/12/24/n...

A third Kentucky infant has died from whooping cough (also known as pertussis) this year as the state faces its largest spike in cases since 2012. Cases are only expected to continue to rise, highlighting the importance of widespread immunization. Learn more: publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

We can expect more of this unfortunately as vaccine misinformation floods social media. What a horrific and totally preventable tragedy.

One of the great tragedies of our time. Completely foreseeable, preventable, and irreversible. Pure moral cowardice on the part of our political leaders.

Absolute madness to take something that all acknowledge has worked incredibly well and break it. And once again it will be the most vulnerable populations who suffer the most from this decision.

Very concerning news. Especially related to RSV vaccination which is one of the great technological triumphs in recent years to treat a truly debilitating respiratory disease among vulnerable infants.

1/ THREAD: ACIP, Then and Now What has changed with the panel that guides vaccine recommendations in the U.S.

“No children are dying on my watch,” said Rubio. It's blatantly false. Credible estimates count 190K deaths so far. In Kenya, I am seeing devastating impact, incl this child's starvation & many deaths directly caused by Rubio’s actions. More in my @msnbc.com clip. www.instagram.com/atul.gawande...

This alone is worth a visit if o Baltimore. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/food...

Would like to see this in a peer reviewed publication but I have no doubts that the findings will be replicated. A foreseeable tragedy for pregnant women in TX.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Rubio claims that @USAID lifesaving assistance for health and humanitarian needs will continue. But his team just communicated that the entire agency will be imminently reduced from 14,000 to 294 people. Just 12 in Africa.

U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

It is insanity to abruptly stop these programs. Even if the plan is to ultimately terminate them there is a responsible and ethical method to do so. This is neither and will cause irreparable harm and loss of life.

I fear this story will become more frequent among service women who likely have very limited knowledge of the possible limited scope of medical care available to them based on where they are assigned. Our service men and women should always have access to standard of care medicine!

Just logged my #HCWvsHunger donation for the Capital Area Food Bank! Let’s go!

This is not how a state should treat evaluation of maternal deaths if the goal is to reduce them.

Would really like our respective professional physician organizations to endorse this approach. It should be all hands on deck. Maybe they’re waiting to see if the nomination is pulled but it feels like this isn’t the situation for a wait and see approach.

I am not sure this is at all debatable. In terms of lives saved it has to be at the top of all medical interventions ever.
