Have you read our letter to @GovernorKayIvey from more than 300 Alabama medical professionals? #alpolitics
They all agree that it's time to #ExpandMedicaid!

I am in the House Chambers. We have been instructed to lie down on the floor and put on our gas masks. Chamber security and Capitol Police have their guns drawn as protesters bang on the front door of the chamber.
This is not a protest. This is an attack on America.
Driving into DC early to beat the city curfew to take care of critically ill kids with COVID while a white terrorist group storms the capitol is a major vibe.
No, we don’t have to live with it. We have to fight it. To obliterate it.
It isn’t too late. Again, here is the plan:
* Test & isolate.
* Masks.
* Close bars.
* Socially distance.
* Outside > inside.
And then we will be able to open the schools. Or kids will be lost.
A federal rule released last night rolls back protections for transgender people and sets a dangerous precedent that could jeopardize children's health in other ways, all in the midst of a global pandemic. We oppose the rule. Pediatricians care for all children.
Talking about racism and recent violent events with your children may seem daunting, but children are watching and will have questions. Pediatricians @RheaBoydMD, @DrHeardGarris, @jennyradesky, @DrDouge, & Dr. Ashaunta Anderson offer advice for @CNN: https://t.co/LDbDJqzjHm
Racism is harmful to everyone's health, including kids who are indirectly affected, @CNN reports. Pediatricians @DrHeardGarris and @DrDouge cite research on how chronically elevated levels of stress hormones can lead to mental and physical disorders.

All children and families deserve to feel safe and heard & have a neurobiological need for it. As I watch our nation tear itself a part in the midst of a health crisis like none we have ever seen, now more than ever in my lifetime I call on #Tweetiatricians#alaap#pmg to stand
Today is #NationalNursesDay! #ThankYouNurses for everything you do to take care of children and their families, especially right now during these difficult times.
Just got my follow-up text. Have you signed up for the COVID symptom tracker? —-UAB has launched https://t.co/J6QSizjYbt, a new symptom tracker that provides insight into hot spots and community spread of COVID-19. https://t.co/Gaq9NfL4VW

At the end of the first day of my kids being out of school after our attempts at “homeschooling”... my conclusion... teachers are superheroes. The end.
