[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: As a father of two young children, I know the joys of parenting—but I also know the stress, loneliness, & uncertainty of parenting in a rapidly changing world. Today, I issued a Surgeon General’s Advisory on the Mental Health and Well-Being of Parents https://t.co/Cb6SatT7bH

Kids returning to school shouldn't have to worry about the threat of gun violence, but yet another community has been tragically affected by a school shooting. AAP mourns with all affected in GA and will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence

Published in print in the new July issue of @AnnalsofSurgery! Thank you for highlighting #gunviolence as #ThisIsOurLane.

5,000 children are injured or killed by #firearm each year in the U.S. (higher than previously reported). The majority were from homicide, but secure storage could have potentially prevented a third. Disparities exist. @ElizabethAlore @RNeffectchange

We heard a masterclass in diagnostic reasoning today during @BCMDeptMedicine's Grand Rounds in our Clinico-Pathologic Conference.

Speaker was Dr. @orhueodaro, former @BCM_InternalMed chief resident and educator extraordinaire!

Phenomenal learning throughout! Thank you, Orhue!

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

If you live in Florida or Mississippi, you're 10x more likely to be killed by Covid today than if you live a state with sensible protection policies.

Political interference with public health action kills.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

By vaccinating the unvaccinated, increasing our testing and masking, and protecting the vaccinated, we can end this pandemic. That’s exactly what we are committed to doing.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

I'm incredibly disappointed with the state executive order today banning vaccine requirements, just as the vaccine received full FDA approval. Once again, just as a new weapon becomes available in this fight, it's taken away. We deserve better.

[BCMHouston @bcmhouston]

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into the school year, it's understandable that your child may have some anxiety about heading back to class. Dr. Eric Storch shares some guidance for parents whose children may be struggling. https://t.co/IYqA7LcOhx #BackToSchool #COVID19

[Texas Children's @TexasChildrens]

Mark A. Wallace, president and CEO of #TexasChildrens, was featured in the @HoustonChron and interviewed on @CNN to discuss the important steps the FDA and our communities need to take in order to combat the COVID-19 surge. Learn more: https://t.co/CaP6v9iArj

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Today, the TX Legislature passed a law enabling nearly anyone to openly carry a gun. We have plenty of needs in Texas. More guns without safety checks isn't one.

Texas House pushes bills expanding telemedicine, postpartum care https://t.co/hCXolAirGm

[Children's Hospital Association @hospitals4kids]

The number of children ages 6-12 who visited children’s hospitals for suicidal thoughts or self-harm has more than doubled since 2016, according to our data from 46 facilities across the country.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Texas lifting COVID restrictions pains me deeply. A distraction from deadly winter storms, it will likely be popular. But best science says it's far too soon. We're so close. Vaccines bring hope. Hope. Remember that? Can we please not spike footballs before we hit the end zone?

[Office of Judge Lina Hidalgo @HarrisCoJudge]

See Judge Hidalgo's statement on the Governor’s rollback of vital COVID-19 public health interventions.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Harris County residents. Texans. Please keep wearing your mask and avoiding gatherings. This is all on us now.

[Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner]

Every time we start moving in the right direction the Governor steps in and sets us back and makes all of our jobs harder. He minimizes the sacrifices of people and businesses. I just don’t get it. st

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

Thank you to @POTUS Biden and @FLOTUS Dr. Jill Biden for your compassion and support for Harris County and Texas.
Our community has been through multiple traumas, and even the toughest folks need a hand sometimes.
