State-level efforts to reclassify vital medications (like mifepristone) as "controlled substances" are creating roadblocks for standard obstetric care. Professors Liz Tobin-Tyler and @darakass.com and Senior Fellow @spsaki.bsky.social describe the laws' unintended, often dangerous consequences.

How states' moves to call abortion drugs ‘controlled substances' can make childbirth more dangerous and interfere with legal, safe and necessary healthcare

Medications used to perform abortions are also widely used to treat severe pregnancy complications, as well as several conditions unrelated to childbirth.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

If the FDA moves to restrict mifepristone access against the weight of decades of evidence, it will break the trust the American people have in this critical agency. How can we trust any of the FDA's decisions if it is so clearly politicized? Dr. Dara Kass gets into it @darakass.com

The FDA is putting politics in your medicine cabinet

This isn't about just Tylenol and mifepristone. It’s about whether the FDA will remain a trusted arbiter of safety and e

Here are some heroes for today: Idaho physicians fighting for women’s health in a heartbreaking practice environment (35% of the ob/gyn workforce have left since Dobbs) after realizing that there was no cavalry coming #WIMS

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

Thank you @jeremyfaust.bsky.social Demetre, Dan, and I ("D3") using our voices to raise the alarm for public health

Jeremy Faust, MD@jeremyfaust.bsky.social · last yr.

Dr. Deb Houry (resigned from CDC yesterday) is giving live media interviews now outside the CDC. From what I can hear, she's speaking forcefully in favor of public health and against the nonsense the CDC is facing. Understand: She is a very cautious person. This means a lot! #USAnotRFK

I am a proud member of the "I don't care" club for health professionals who do not GAF about this administrations perceptions of their commitment to health equity and ALSO the "I do not care club" for post/perimenopausal women. My dance card is getting full.

Wow. I guess not caring what a bully says about you makes an impact on the people you respect and love. Thanks @firedbutfighting.bsky.social firedbutfighting.org/shop/p/daska...

The startup world is quietly abandoning .com domains, and the data is fascinating. We analyzed 4,000+ YCombinator & Techstars startups and found: 85% of .ai/.pro/.global startups got their exact brand match. Startups aren't compromising. The old "you need .com to be credible" rule? Dead.

"Makary, who proudly calls himself a 'data guy' should have no trouble acknowledging that the science behind mifepristone is rock solid—and it hasn’t changed." 📣My new op-ed with @heyjane.com's Kiki Fredman that calls on @fda.gov to trust the data on the #abortion pill! thehill.com/opinion/heal...

The FDA’s ‘data guy’ should trust the data on the abortion pill

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s pledge to reexamine the safety of medication abortion isn’t just pointless — it’s dangerous.
