The New York Times made me laugh today. For me, it's that inflation is outpacing my wages. My COBRA payment is $4500. And I can't afford a second bedroom for my kids. From what I heard from thousands of NY12 voters, I am not alone on this one.

Is the global health architecture reform progressing? ninaschwalbe.substack.com/p/is-the-glo...

What does it mean that the president is going to demand manufacturers make a vaccine differently? We have an agency called the FDA. We have an agency called the CDC. Like, what does that mean? Let's not wait to find out. Let's stop this man and stop this crazy science and get this guy out of office.

Let's enjoy UN General Assembly week. Welcome our friends, welcome our visitors from around the world, and let's turn the public discourse on UN week into a week we all love.

A senator is blaming Trump administration policies for the rise in measles deaths in the US. But maybe he should also ask how much responsibility he bears for putting this administration in charge.

Luke Lindberg was chosen to lead the World Food Programme. He doesn’t have expertise in emergency humanitarian response, but he does have a father-in-law: Republican Senator John Thune. We need humanitarian expertise, not political connections.

Measles needs 95% vaccination to stop spreading. The US has dropped below that under RFK Jr.'s watch at HHS. That means everyone is at risk. Get vaccinated. For your neighbours, for your friends, for your family.

Canadian Prime Minister said out loud what everyone's been thinking: this feels like a war between two countries with the world's most peaceful border. We didn't get here by accident. Threats to make Canada 'the 51st state' don't stay jokes forever.

Two unvaccinated people just died of measles in Pennsylvania. This disease was eliminated in the US in 2000. Now it's back, and it's killing people, because RFK Jr. gutted vaccine policy and Trump let him do it. We need a real vaccine advisory committee, run by experts, and to impeach RFK Jr.

Many people blame money and Citizens United for what's wrong with our elections. But in addition to Citizens United, there's another Supreme Court decision warping our elections, which gives media outlets legal cover to decide which candidates are "serious" enough to cover. vist.ly/5ecz8

I spoke with ABC News about what's driving the resurgence of measles, why vaccine misinformation has consequences far beyond the United States, and how recent U.S. Government policies are weakening public health capacity at home and abroad. Watch my full interview 👇
