One of the things I really love about #SAHM2026 is how they center the youth voice. Here, Ela Chintagunta reminds us of the importance of positive youth development for affecting the trajectory of youth living with chronic conditions

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.
Don’t let up.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you will never get another chance to have a backbone after this pathetic capitulation, and I hope to all that is good that you’re primaried (brutally) for this cowardice. Shame.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Put another way, Medicaid contributes roughly as much to Detroit's economy than car manufacturing, more to Houston than the chemical industry, almost twice as much to Los Angeles as motion picture production--these are big numbers!
It's a worker's party now.
The White House is touting tax benefits for tipped workers in the reconciliation bill, but 2 million tipped workers could be among those at risk of losing health coverage because of the #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace cuts in the bill. (1/3) www.nbcwashington.com/news/busines...
According to CBO, only 20% of the 7.8 million people expected to lose coverage because of Medicaid policies will have access to other coverage like subsidized marketplace plans or employer-based insurance.

I have often warned colleagues/students about the fact that LLM like ChatGPT just make up non-existent references (or inappropriately reference real work) so it’s nice to have a concrete example of how embarrassing it can be if you don’t take the time to check!

From @commonwealthfund.org big #Medicaid cost-shifts to states will harm children. Eliminating coverage for parents will result in their children losing coverage too. States will also have to cut coverage for kids federal law doesn't require them to cover: www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2025/de...
George Armstrong Lecture @pas2025.bsky.social today was incredibly inspirational! These pioneers are the spark and hearing from them was exactly what I needed today! #PAS2025
"Now, that path to a scientific career is in tatters. If the NIH continues to stall, reject, and terminate grants, we are in danger of losing an entire generation of scientists and the life-changing discoveries they would have made."
This is really disheartening
What the what?!?!
The IMF released its latest forecasts today, and they seem to suggest that the folks most hurt by Trump's trade war are... Americans.
4/5 HHS employees currently on administrative leave report they were given no opportunity to hand off their responsibilities, suggesting important work will simply be discontinued.
