[ASMBS @ASMBS]

We at ASMBS wish to address a recent @nytimes story about metabolic and bariatric surgery. While we cannot comment on the specific allegations, we must clarify that the report did not accurately reflect the safety and effectiveness of weight-loss surgery. https://t.co/c1JAhM3pWp

NEW: Retail pharmacies, ranging from big chains to the corner drugstore, will now be able to offer abortion pills, the F.D.A. says. Pharmacies that opt in and comply with certain rules will provide more access to abortion in post-Roe America. https://t.co/OACpZvYpO8

Meet Jesús, a New Yorker who received treatment for mental illness and found an apartment through @NYCHealthSystem.

“Housing for Health” will create nearly 650 new affordable homes over the next five years.

“'This is like lifting a curse,' Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon and the architect of the measure, said of the Medicare negotiation provision. 'Big Pharma has been protecting the ban on negotiation like it was the Holy Grail.'”

[Embedded @NPREmbedded]

A lot of times, the police are not just the first responder, but the only responder. But do all responses need a cop? Could having the police do less be good for us, but also good for them? Listen now, on Embedded.

"#Overdose deaths jumped 30% from 2019-2020 ... Deaths among Black people rose 44%, about twice the increase in deaths among white people (22%) or Hispanic people (21%). Deaths among American Indians and Alaska Natives increased 39%." https://t.co/YpoQg7h52V

Monkeypox vaccination update: NYC will receive 25,693 doses for its next vaccine allocation. We will have more information on distribution and when appointments will be made available in the coming days, after vaccine has been delivered to the City.

In the UK, they revolt against their PM for appointing someone with a history of sexual misconduct.

In the U.S., personally admitting to sexual assault means you still get elected president.

“Spare me the bullshit of mental illness,” says Sen. Murphy of the United States. “We’re not an outlier on mental illness, we’re an outlier on firearms”

This you?

[John Tedesco @John_Tedesco]

Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX says a gunman "incomprehensibly" killed 14 students and a teacher at a Uvalde elementary school.

It's not incomprehensible anymore.

Our leaders simply refuse to do anything about it.

14 children and 1 teacher. There are no words. And there are no actions ever taken.

The launch of our series on teen mental health. 18 months in making. Inexpressible gratitude to families involved. This is part 1. via @NYTimes https://t.co/xQ0CFWy8Zc

[NYS Senator Brian Kavanagh 卡范納 @BrianKavanaghNY]

On our 1st day of session, the Senate stood up for democracy & passed my bill, S2951, to change the voter registration deadline to 10 days before elections, NY's constitutional minimum. This, coupled w/10 days of early voting, will essentially bring same-day voter reg. to NY!

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

When we had our gas cut off because we couldn’t afford the bill, we stayed warm with space heaters.

I came into my children’s room one day to find smoke and flames pouring out from the outlet.

Tragedies like what just happened in NYC are preventable. They’re policy choices.

Wrote this two years ago today. Still hard to fathom what lay ahead for all of us.

[Dr. Alison Galvani @Alison_Galvani]

Just a reminder that Abbott destroyed inventory of their #COVID tests this past summer when sales dwindled. The company thought the tests were worth less than the space to store them 😞
