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?

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
