@StateDept @USAndIndia Then stop burning fossil fuels

Mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization and undermines the stability of key American allies. Today the State Department instructed U.S. embassies to report on the human rights implications and public safety impacts of mass migration.

@HHSGov Grifters all

Today we announced five new agency leaders who will serve our nation’s families and advance goals to Make America Healthy Again. Four of these five presidential appointees required and recently received Senate confirmation.

CORE Group is proud to have co-hosted a roundtable with @GWpublichealth that informed a new working paper on the health impacts of forced displacement—released during #UNGA80 and #ClimateWeekNYC. The paper underscores this as a humanitarian priority and calls for scaled-up U.S. global health assistance to save lives, prevent illness, and strengthen security at home and abroad. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: • The U.S. is uniquely positioned to lead with strengths in data science, health information, and early-warning systems, diplomacy, and multi-sector collaboration. • Assistance should be holistic and integrated, addressing displacement amid rapid environmental change and extreme weather. • Smart foreign health investments advance global health security, support the U.S. economy, and create jobs. • Centering women, children, older adults, and people living in poverty aligns with American values and reduces human suffering. More than 𝟭𝟮𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 are displaced worldwide, a number projected to rise due to conflict, urbanization, extreme weather, sea-level rise, and more. The paper highlights heightened risks from infectious diseases (e.g., dengue, measles), injuries, unmanaged chronic conditions, and mental health challenges. The working paper was co-authored by 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗼, Senior Center Specialist, @timothyholtz, Director of the 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗠. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, and Adjunct Faculty Member 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗵-all at the @GWpublichealth, as well as @lisa_hilmi, Executive Director of @COREGroupDC. 🔗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲: mediarelations.gwu.edu/us-foreign-ass… #GlobalHealth #ForcedDisplacement #HumanitarianHealth #HealthSecurity #EnvironmentalChange #Migration #PublicHealth #GlobalHealthPolicy #UNGA #ClimateWeekNYC

Ignoring climate science won’t stop the storms, heatwaves, or health crises. We need evidence-based action—now. 🗣 Professor Timothy Holtz: "The price of denial is staggering — in lives lost, homes destroyed, futures erased." usatoday.com/story/opinion/… @timothyholtz @USATODAY

@MarkWarner Do y’all think medical care is so straightforward? We’ve been screening for diabetes for 40+ years does that mean we should stop research? Workers in these industries deserve a break. Black Lung has NOT been eliminated, and there ARE reasons to try and find ways to find earlier.

This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung.   His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.

Among my worries: 1. Collapse in U.S. vaccine infrastructure, 4-6X rise in measles pertussis, polio in wastewater 2. Downsizing of American virology research, declines in pandemic preparedness 3. Erosion in U.S. biosecurity, increased vulnerability to external/foreign threats

"This is what was absolutely game-changing, to have a former president of the United States, arguably the most powerful nation in the world, focus his attention on diseases that represent the most common afflictions of the world's poor," says @PeterHotez. to.pbs.org/40gzPKH

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Many thanks ⁦@WmBrangham⁩ for hosting me this evening on PBS ⁦@NewsHour⁩ reflecting on the global health legacy of President Carter and his enormous contributions to the control of neglected tropical diseases
