The#NDAA released by Congress includes provisions to improve global health security as a national security priority. It instructs the President to focus on pandemic prevention, preparedness & response, prioritizing USG investment based on data & metrics, including the #GHSIndex.

@tempenotarizona I got both in my non-dominant arm and was a-okay

No one will confuse a dirty bomb with a tactical nuclear weapon. No one.

@tempenotarizona Love Bad Janet

@tempenotarizona Black shiny leggings (read: spanx), black moto jacket and top, blonde (check) curly hair, pumps = Sandy! (A timely homage to Olivia)

[NTI @NTI_WMD]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ash Carter.

He was committed to reducing nuclear dangers around the world and was instrumental in the creation & implementation of the Nunn-Lugar Program. We are grateful for his many contributions to global security.

All the more reason to fund @WhiteHouse Nat #Biodefense Strategy 👉 "We need to treat #pandemicpreparedness as a permanent priority, as we do our national defense, which is allocated hundreds of billions in annual funding even in times of peace."

[Jaime Yassif @JaimeYassif]

"At the outset of every outbreak, a small window exists when response means the difference between containment & catastrophe. As the crisis wanes a similar window exists when there’s enough will ... to push for better preparation for other pandemics." https://t.co/s7VaajIhGP

[NTI @NTI_WMD]

Today the White House released it's 2022 National Biodefense Strategy outlining an ambitious set of objectives to guard against future pandemics & biothreats.
