After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young:

"This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

A real highlight was that equity in screening was discussed throughout the day. “The ethos around reducing discrimination is just brilliant”

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

“Twelve percent of American children, or about nine million people, are citizens with at least one noncitizen parent.” This is why legislation aimed at undocumented immigrants often hurts US citizens, too. We are all intertwined. We need a better immigration system. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care

In 2023, a Mexican girl, 4, was allowed U.S. entry for lifesaving medical care. She and her parents, who live in Bakersfield, have been told they must leave.

Do the vast majority of pediatricians and their representative body, the American Academy of Pediatrics, support today’s announcement on restrictions to the COVID vaccine?

No.

Hey everyone attending #ats2025 speak out to save science and protect the NIH! @atscommunity.bsky.social

Jon Freeman @freemanjb.bsky.social · May 21

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees

Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday

📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

Before PEPFAR, half of kids in Africa born with HIV died before age 2.

They never got the chance to grow adorably chubby 🤱🏿 👶🏾or take their first steps 🚼

They grew weak—often dying from something as small as a cold.

PEPFAR changed that. It still matters. ❤️

Every day that PEPFAR’s work is interrupted, 230 babies are born with H.I.V. in South Africa who otherwise would not have been infected.
