I’m saddened and angered by Charlie Kirk’s murder. And I hope we all go through some serious introspection and redouble our efforts to engage in debate passionately, yet peacefully. Hillary and I are keeping Erika, their two young children, and their family in our prayers.

Stunned and saddened by the raw hypocrisy exposed in the last 24 hours: a total void of awareness, empathy, honesty, humanity, and self-reflection. Tribal loyalty has erased our shared decency. When did we forget we're all humans first- and how do we remember it again? 😞

Louisiana is in its worst whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak in 35 years. 368 cases this year, including two infants who have died. Since last fall, 63 have been hospitalized, 65% infants. Most hospitalized were not up-to-date on vaccines. The DTaP/Tdap vaccines protect

Our freedom of speech is best used a shield, not a sword. We have the ‘right’ to spew hate - but that doesn't make it ‘right.’ Let’s all choose better -and kinder- words.

Vaccine debates can get heated, and that's unavoidable. But out of respect for history's true horrors and basic human decency can we please, as rational and mature adults, all agree to drop the Holocaust and slavery comparisons? 🙏🏽

I applaud this effort by U.S. FDA HHS.gov and President Donald J. Trump. We know people are often unduly influenced by health advertisements. I hope HHS will also address advertisements and COIs for the even less vetted /regulated supplement industry. 🙏🏽

Recent statements by RFK Jr and other HHS officials about preserving COVID vaccine access are rated as “mostly false” by respected fact checking sight…👇🏽 PolitiFact | Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said ‘everybody can get’ the COVID-19 vaccine. Is that true? politifact.com/factchecks/202…

I’m struggling to converse rationally with more and more who are locked into their "alternative facts" or DIY "science". Genuinely want tips for productive convos that meet them where they are. Books, threads, or real-talk advice? Drop 'em below! Thanks! 🙏🏽

America’s homeless population includes over a million children and tens of thousands of veterans, many of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nobody deserves to be murdered by the government for mental illness or poverty. These Fox hosts are calling for mass murder—it’s sick.

This is VERY concerning if true (and I’ve seen several video clips that make it appear to be). Calling for the mentally ill/ homeless to be executed is stigmatizing, dehumanizing, and in a normal, (and truly Christian) world would be disqualifying for a major network host. Hoping

WTH is wrong with people? Seriously? What on earth would make people - much less leaders and public servants- say the things they are saying… and not see the completely lack of sanity, humanity, and Christianity in their words?

I believe in states’ rights so this is Fl’s prerogative - yet scrapping child vaccine mandates in a state full of vulnerable seniors and global tourists will be disastrous. This decision will define DeSantis’ entire legacy as governor - for all the wrong reasons.
