After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young:

"This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

A real highlight was that equity in screening was discussed throughout the day. โ€œThe ethos around reducing discrimination is just brilliantโ€

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. Iโ€™m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t.

Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me.

โ€œTwelve percent of American children, or about nine million people, are citizens with at least one noncitizen parent.โ€ This is why legislation aimed at undocumented immigrants often hurts US citizens, too.

Donโ€™t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Do the vast majority of pediatricians and their representative body, the American Academy of Pediatrics, support todayโ€™s announcement on restrictions to the COVID vaccine?

No.

Opinion | As Fellow Pro-Lifers, We Are Begging Marco Rubio to Save Foreign Aid Every day that PEPFARโ€™s work is interrupted, 230 babies are born with H.I.V. in South Africa who otherwise would not have been infected.

Before PEPFAR, half of kids in Africa born with HIV died before age 2.

They never got the chance to grow adorably chubby ๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿฟ ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿพor take their first steps ๐Ÿšผ

They grew weakโ€”often dying from something as small as a cold.

PEPFAR changed that. It still matters. โค๏ธ
