I'm Austin Ahlman. Nebraska is my home. This is our fight. You are my people. Let’s take Nebraska back.

Wow. Just wow.

@DutchRojas @TessGordonMD Invented controversy. He is a physician.

@TessGordonMD You cannot steal the valor of title that is earned.

No wonder he doesn’t understand healthcare! Abdul El-Sayed told a podcast in 2022 that during his only clinical rotation, his job was “to be the, like, worst doctor on the team” and that he was “cosplaying a doctor.” That four-week sub-internship at the end of medical school is the entirety of his time at a patient bedside. He is now running for U.S. Senate in Michigan calling himself a physician. El-Sayed earned an MD from Columbia in 2014, after two years at the University of Michigan Medical School and a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford where he completed a DPhil in public health. The academic ladder is real. Two doctorates. “Dr.” is accurate. He never entered residency. He has never held a medical license in Michigan, New York, or any other state. He has never independently treated a patient. In March 2026, El-Sayed told a group of Teamsters nurses he had “been in enough codes to watch who really does the work.” On a podcast that same month: “I’ve been a doctor my whole career.” His campaign objects to the Politico report that surfaced these statements. The spokesperson’s response was that “he has earned the right to be called ‘doctor’ twice over.” That is true, and it is beside the point. The contested word is physician. In American medicine, the MD is the beginning. Residency is the apprenticeship, three to seven years long. State licensure follows residency. Independent practice follows licensure. The structure exists because patients pay the price when it is skipped. Every physician in this country surrendered most of their twenties to those steps. Eighty-hour weeks. Overnight call. Boards. Maintenance of certification. Malpractice exposure that follows them for the rest of their careers. Physician is not a credential of the classroom. It is a credential of the bedside, the licensing board, and the legal accountability of both. To borrow it without paying for it is to take something from every doctor who did. El-Sayed knows the difference. He named it himself. Excellent reporting @adamwren politico.com/news/2026/05/1…

@DrDiGiorgio Horrible take Anthony

@FmrRepMTG Its wild that MTG is now the most reasonable voice in the room

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted. Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness. I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing. On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies. Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people. This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.

@molsjames Honest question but why is this a disturbing trend?

This is an example of what wrong in our world today. A doctor shares factual information about a disturbing trend in our country. Another doctor-with hurt feelings-cried “racist” because there is no other argument. We will never correct the sad state of our world until facts > feelings!

Weaponized beneficence

If your church leaders and elected leaders are telling you the way to bring Jesus back is by killing innocent children of innocent foreign people you’ve never met in a foreign land you’ve never been to, then your believing the lies of wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing.

@RepThomasMassie Lets go!

You’re welcome. It’s not a hoax.

@NerdeenKiswani Im curious why we cant hold spaces for both?

I’ve never seen people advocate for disabled people as much as when it’s defending and explaining someone saying the N word. People aren’t being ableist towards one man for saying it, they’re questioning a culture that always has a justification for anti-Blackness.

🗣️“We can blame the Israelis for committing genocide in Gaza all we want. But the fact of the matter is, we committed genocide in Gaza.” – Dr. @FerozeSidhwa, an America trauma surgeon who volunteered multiple times in Gaza over the post two years, told the California Democratic Convention Progressive Caucus on Saturday. He told the audience that what he witnessed in Gaza felt like a “prelude to the end of humanity,” and what we’re now experiencing in the United States is a “small fraction of what can happen when the end of humanity comes home.” “Acknowledging what we have done in Gaza and facing the truth will not be easy,” Dr Sidhwa stated. “Facing the truth will reveal that some of the people you thought had normal human values are actually monsters. Good. That’s exactly the point. Let’s figure out who wants to make the world a better place, and then let’s go do it.”

No. A keto diet does not cure schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. There is no concrete evidence to support this claim. Spreading “food cures” is misinformation and dangerous. Schizophrenia is one of the most severe and debilitating mental illnesses.

@SabrinaMalhi @washingtonpost So sorry to hear this. Let me know if there is anything that can be done to help.

My heart is broken. I’m sitting here nursing my newborn baby and losing my “dream job” at @washingtonpost is devastating.

@houmanhemmati A fascinating post, Doctor. You’ve managed to summarize 500 applications, eight decorated careers, and your own profound professional insecurity in under 280 characters. It takes unique stature to be unable to see talent without a Y-chromosome. Well done, elite fragility!

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. thenation.com/article/world/…

This is heartbreaking. "Dr. Hossam’s lawyer warns: his heart is exhausted, his body shattered from continuous torture, and the freezing temperatures in his cell are worsening his suffering. Between cold walls, the doctor who saved hundreds of children and the wounded is left with no adequate food, no heating, and his health is deteriorating day by day. 🔴 Every moment of silence is a contribution to his suffering. Any delay in saving him could be the moment that costs him his life. ✊🏻 Speak about him… spread his name… do not let the voice of the doctor who saved lives fade away." x.com/Abdullah_Om3r0…

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

@Megmd514 @NYCSanitation Fascinating. A physician, entrusted with human lives, finds her clinic iced in and her first move is to angrily tweet at the city's video team rather than mobilize herself to ensure patient safety. I wonder if they teach common sense in that MPH?

Hi @NYCSanitation - I work at a surgery center where it was nearly impossible for anyone to walk let alone get a wheelchair safely- and you are putting out a bike lane video? Do you mind taking care of the sheets of ice at the corners of the streets and massive snowbanks? My kids also could barely walk around the streets.

@RezaC1 Reza you are such a snowflake…move on
