Another doctor for Medicare for All. Black lives Matter. Internal med and palliative care trained, future primary care. I fight for all pts. Views are my own.

AOC: Why isn’t this moving? Republicans support it. Democrats support it. So what happened?

On December 15th at 415am, Elon Musk began firing off a barrage of social media posts opposing pharmacy benefit manager reform. All of a sudden, something that had almost unanimous support fell apart. We had nearly 435 members on board with it—he tweets, and it kills drug pricing reform that would save people money on their insulin, asthma inhalers, and everything they need.

And to top it off, five days after he kills pharmacy benefit manager reform, we get this tweet from Elon Musk: What is a pharmacy benefit manager?

The problem here isn’t a substance issue or a process issue—it’s an oligarchy issue, a power issue. And this room is where the power of the people resides. Everyone here was elected to be accountable to the people—not to be governed by tweets, but to be governed by their duly elected representatives.

So we can get this done; there are more of us than there are of him.

Tonight, I joined a group of healthcare workers to call on @senthomtillis and @senteddbuddNC to VOTE NO for RFK Jr. for Secretary of HHS! Please make your voice heard to tell our NC Senators that RFK Jr. is dangerous to the health of North Carolinians and all Americans!

[Conny Morrison, MD @crcmorrison]

@DrRobDavidson @ctphealthcare Excited to be involved from NC. Is there another platform we can use? I'm feeling like I should finally get off Twitter but haven't found a good replacement.

Tough day to be a physician in America.

Tough day to be a scientist in America.

Tough day to be a woman in America.

@abreezeclayton So proud of you and the work you did. Ready to keep working with you, after you take a well deserved rest!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The function of our current health care system is to provide huge profits for the insurance industry and drug companies.

We need to join every other major country on earth and move to a Medicare for All, single-payer system with no out of pocket expenses.

“Both sides suck!”

Sure. I hear ya. But if we decide to have another kid, I don’t want my wife to die in childbirth like a fuckin pilgrim. So I voted democrat

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

John Oliver's brilliant take on why he's voting for Kamala Harris. And he featured Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman.

Jennifer Lopez fights back tears while campaigning for Kamala Harris in Nevada:

"I promised myself I wouldn't get emotional, but you know what? We should be emotional. We should be upset. We should be scared and outraged. We should. Our pain matters. We matter."

[Conny Morrison, MD @crcmorrison]

@brotherjones_ Thank you!

[Conny Morrison, MD @crcmorrison]

@LissaJoStewart Can you early vote and do same day registration? Not sure what state you are in but that's an option in NC.

[Scott Goldstein @ScottGoldstein]

Elections aren’t about finding your perfect match- they are about choosing under what conditions you want to organize for a better world. @AOC says “I know who I would rather argue with…100,000 %” as she talks about the life and death consequences of a Trump presidency.

[Nate Baker @NateBakerDurham]

Should Durham build safer streets designed for multiple users?

That question is up for a vote TONIGHT where City Council will decide whether to adopt NACTO guidelines and initiate an update to our street design standards.

It’s time for safer, multimodal streets in Durham.

[Mo Green for NC @MoGreenforNC]

At our debate last night, my opponent said that one of her greatest qualifications is having NO experience in NC public schools.

To run a $11 billion budget & guide the education of over 1.3 million students, you ought to have some experience.

I lived in #Paris in the 90s. A city totally dominated by cars.

Hard to walk in, a nightmare to ride a bike in.

Look at it now: a city where cars, rather than people, have trouble moving.

Which, in the overheated, hurricane-plagued 2020s, is how a city *should* look.

[Rep. Marcia Morey @marciahmorey]

After a harrowing and devastating hurricane, 68 Republicans just voted against hearing a bill that would give a five day extension to register to vote and a 3 day grace period for mail in ballots. This should have been part of our relief efforts today but wasn’t.

[Dr. Rob Davidson MD, MPH @DrRobDavidson]

This is a BFD. This is life changing for so many families. Trump has “concepts of a plan” and Harris has real plans to make healthcare more affordable. This isn’t a hard decision #MedTwitter

@RduUltimate Team name of foreskin was way less bad than what my brain filled those **** in with!
