When Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, Trump delayed $20 billion of aid and allowed Puerto Rico to be without power for 181 days.

His botched responses to natural disasters are just a few things you may have forgotten about his presidency.

BREAKING: In a stunning new leaked video, Project 2025’s Director, Paul Dans, just admitted that if Donald Trump is elected, Trump’s agenda on day 1 will mirror Project 2025’s. This is a huge revelation. Retweet so all Americans see this scary leak

“I think if Donald Trump and JD Vance met Jesus today, they would ridicule him as a single, childless hippie.”

I love this woman and everything she said is the damn truth.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: The media is finally acknowledging how dangerous Donald Trump and Project 2025 really are. Nicole just provided the clearest explanation. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Seldom recognized, many preterm infants grow to catch-up to their term born peers after discharge @ArielSalasMD @stableisotope @NICU_Musings @crmartin90 @NeoResearch_Net @MandyBelfort_MD @AmyHairMD @NECsociety @s_elmrayed https://t.co/B5gjLpWqL0

Growth patterns by birth size of children born at 24–29 gestational weeks for the first 3 years.
This paper will change the minds of many clinicians regarding how they look at preterm infant growth https://t.co/IJoE73EvLW DOI: 10.1111/ppe.13081

Important messages in NICU growth assessments👇

📈Monitor growth patterns not just body weight

🙅‍♀️Take ‘Failure’ out of Faltering growth

✍🏻 Aim for personalised nutrition

Perhaps helpful practical advice for assessing growth of small ± preterm infants. Thank you for your important work we cited! @FentonGrowth @s_elmrayed @BelalAlshaikh @NeoResearch_Net @MandyBelfort_MD @ArielSalasMD @stableisotope @NICU_Musings

[FentonGrowth @FentonGrowth]

To support the best outcomes, neonatal feeding decisions about how babies are fed in the ICU should be made at patients’ bedsides by the medical team, in collaboration with patient-families, not in courtrooms https://t.co/nBfluQBcQN @NECsociety

[NEC Society @NECsociety]

Given the litigation involving products used to feed & support the growth of preterm infants & the direct implication for infants who are at risk of & affected by necrotizing enterocolitis, we've released a statement addressing the Watson case https://t.co/HbIVEmlvsl #preventNEC

[FentonGrowth @FentonGrowth]

Thank you, Amy, for organizing an excellent conference with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss neonatal nutrition and growth issues! @stableisotope and @ArielSalasMD

[Amy Hair MD @AmyHairMD]

@FentonGrowth @stableisotope @ArielSalasMD Thank you Tanis for giving an amazing talk and for answering questions as part of the expert panel!

[FentonGrowth @FentonGrowth]

This years Dr. Diane Anderson Neonatal Nutrition Conference was amazing as usual! I was pleased to participate again @AmyHairMD @stableisotope @ArielSalasMD

[FentonGrowth @FentonGrowth]

New work ?s Barker DOHaD hypothesis. Requires re-examination. Need to feed children to appetite/satiety https://t.co/zpX90Lg8zn @jshipra07 @s_elmrayed @NeoResearch_Net @crmartin90 @BelalAlshaikh @NICU_Musings @TanisRD @AmyHairMD @MandyBelfort_MD @NECsociety

A couple of points about the PROBIT trial: 1. as noted, it was randomization to breastfeeding support not bfding, 2. the IQ assessors were not blinded to the mother's interventions, an important risk of bias

[Katie Chetta @Chetta_milk_lab]

Except that is totally false….PROBIT, the largest randomized controlled trial on human lactation, has found higher IQ scores at age 6.5 years among children randomly assigned at birth into a breastfeeding promotion intervention group than those in routine practice, particularly for verbal IQ.

@crmartin90 @s_elmrayed @Meg_Parker_MD @NICU_Musings @NeoResearch_Net @Epi_D_Nique @BelalAlshaikh @MandyBelfort_MD @stableisotope @TanisRD I totally agree Cami! These findings can reassure parents & clinicians that preterm SGA infants are not at risk of high BMIs / adiposity. So they can be fed to achieve growth outcomes & meet appetite/satiety without undue concern about excess adiposity 🙂 @s_elmrayed

[FentonGrowth @FentonGrowth]

SGA preterm infants vs AGA: lower BMI: no diff in adiposity by waist circ. Lower lean mass & ht
