Please plan to join me for this terrific Global Health Summit. I helped develop the program and am moderating session on Population Health. https://t.co/5iCMaSgSAn
These South Pacific lyrics were in my head when I woke up. “You have to be taught to hate and fear. You have to be carefully taught.” So to the question as to whether the US President’s rhetoric has contributed to what’s happening, isn’t one of his roles “Teacher-in-Chief?”
When women’s voices are heard, they can be catalysts for change&for peace. Thrilled my amendment securing funds for women in security efforts passed today, providing $3M for our military branches to implement the Women, Peace & Security Act
Twenty-four years ago, I signed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban into law. It, along with other policies, led to a 33-year low in the murder rate. We’ve done it before—we should do it again.

If Trump can’t negotiate a deal on milk with one of our closest allies, how is he going to get a deal on nuclear disarmament with one of our greatest foes?
And that's only one surgeon on one day. After price, pre-existing condition exclusion was most common reason for being uninsured pre-ACA. https://t.co/a3vSy3BGkp
