Next week, for the first time in human history, a human-made object will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth.

One healthcare reform I would push for as an internal medicine physician:
When a private health insurer refuses to cover medically necessary treatment and that decision causes a patient harm, the insurance company should face the same medical malpractice liability as the healthcare professionals responsible for treating that patient.
You shouldn’t be able to make decisions that jeopardize someone’s life and walk away without accountability.
“If calling me names will lower our gas prices and our grocery prices and keep our rural hospitals open, he can call me all the names that he wants. But that’s not gonna get the job done. And comments about taking my medical license away from the man who doesn’t know how to pronounce acetaminophen. I’m not gonna take that seriously,” @AnnieAndrewsMD
As we debate the 5 tragic measles related deaths in PA, it’s worth remembering that 60x that number of kids died last year from flu… and most of them were unvaccinated. Cold/ Flu/ Covid season is here. Talk to your health provider about how to protect yourself/ your kids!
Rest easy, Captain. We have the helm. ✨
This is Webb’s look at Westerlund 1, a super star cluster. Because our galaxy is past its peak of star formation, and because stars live relatively short lives, only a few of these clusters exist to give us clues to that past era.
A senior House Democrat, Rep. Jared Huffman, is urging congressional leaders to block the Trump administration from using taxpayer money to help turn East Potomac Park into a golf course and from transferring the public land to President Trump. https://t.co/m1rYdg9g8d
Thank you, Senator @TIDEVINE .
@AnnieAndrewsMD is the right choice for South Carolina right now.
She has the education. She has the priorities. She has the ability to work across the aisle.
Let's make this happen, South Carolina. Get out there and vote!
The United States has a growing shortfall of physicians, with 40,400 to 70,600 additional family doctors, internal medicine physicians and pediatricians needed within the next decade to ensure care for every American.

PEDIATRICIAN BACKGROUND: "I’m a board-certified pediatrician... I’m also proud of the work I did in the gun violence prevention space. My role at Everytown was actually to develop a program to educate medical students on how to talk to parents about the importance of secure firearm storage... It really only took one of those tragedies to compel me to want to do something." @AnnieAndrewsMD
Noteworthy differences between this statement and the anonymous first one from the Pentagon:
1) It alludes to the leak of "sensitive national security information," not classified information. They are different, both legally and practically.
2) It does not name Lt. Gen. Sylvia by name.
3) It does not directly accuse Sylvia of leaking classified information.
These are significant legal differences.
Dr. Annie Andrews: My number one priority will be to stop the impending Medicaid budget cuts. As a physician who's worked in South Carolina's healthcare system for 15 years, I understand that if these budget cuts go through, rural hospitals will close, and tens of thousands of South Carolinians will lose their insurance.
