An ICU nurse was disarmed and murdered in cold blood — on film. Meanwhile, Secretary Noem, when questioned directly, focuses on “stolen tax dollars.” We have lost the plot.

📢 Is your hospital at risk of closing? Check out the Hospital Watch Tracker from @protect.our.care and see for yourself the devastating effects the cuts caused by the Big Beautiful Bill will have on our most vulnerable hospitals and communities. It was an honor to Sen Chris Murphy for this event!

When George Floyd was killed, policing and diversity changes came. Five years later, is that change at risk?
George Floyd's murder sparked an international protest movement for racial equity and policing changes. Five years later, what changed — and what's being undone?

Don’t get me wrong — graduating at the top of your medical school class is fine. But that alone doesn’t make you a great — or even competent — physician. And it certainly doesn’t qualify you to be the Surgeon General. There’s a reason we do residency! #surgeongeneral #unqualified

4 in 10 adults in our country are struggling with medical debt. Adding work requirements to Medicaid doesn’t create jobs or strengthen the economy — it simply pushes more families into financial crisis while the wealthy get another tax cut.

Elections have consequences. And so does putting wildly unqualified, biased individuals in charge of our nation’s public health. To every healthcare professional out there: Keep speaking up. Keep fighting. Our patients—and our future—depend on it. #PulseCheckWI #PublicHealthMatters

Low vaccination rates lead to tragic outcomes. There’s no room for conspiracies—only evidence-based medicine. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines prevent suffering. We can’t afford to walk backward and relearn painful lessons that past generations already paid for. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth

When it comes to somatic therapy, it’s all about capacity, not constant calm. In distressing and turbulent times, like we are living though, unpredictability and stress are unavoidable, so the goal is to expand nervous system capacity rather than force constant regulation.

Nobody wants to spend hours in the ER—but sometimes, a little prevention can keep you out of the waiting room and at home. Here are ways to avoid a visit: 1️⃣ Stay on top of preventive care 2️⃣ Manage chronic conditions 3️⃣ Use urgent care when possible 4️⃣ Practice home safety 5️⃣ Know when to seek help
