For too long NYC has not received its fair share of public health funding due to city-state political hijinks. No more. This means upwards of $90M that will go towards keeping NYers healthy and safe and prepared.

Horrific scenes from Utah today. Regardless of his divergent views, no one deserves the fate #CharlieKirk suffered today.

But we are not helpless. And New York is uniquely positioned to chart a bold path forward, if we choose to act.

PEPFAR is a crown jewel in global health and this will definitely cost lives as people cannot stay on their meds. TOTALLY needless and cruel. But I guess that’s the point. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/health/pepfar-trump-freeze.html28 Jan 2025 13:10 +0000at://did:plc:b73ulihb5mcvcrudrhfrzswb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgsjpc5s7c2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ashvasnyc.bsky.social/post/3lg7ywgila22nOk Ben Johnson is good. #GoBears [contains quote post or other embedded content]21 Jan 2025 04:22 +0000at://did:plc:b73ulihb5mcvcrudrhfrzswb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lg7ywgila22nhttps://bsky.app/profile/ashvasnyc.bsky.social/post/3lebac6c6xs2iHow do I pin this tweet?

HHS is too important to American healthcare, prevention, child welfare, and global health, to appoint a leader who has made a career on misguided views on science, medicine and wellbeing. It makes us less healthy and less safe. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/rfk-jr-maha-public-health-trump15 Nov 2024 05:04 +0000at://did:plc:b73ulihb5mcvcrudrhfrzswb/app.bsky.feed.post/3laxm2k4vp222https://bsky.app/profile/ashvasnyc.bsky.social/post/3kl3wpja7hh2aWhat is this place?10 Feb 2024 23:11 +0000at://did:plc:b73ulihb5mcvcrudrhfrzswb/app.bsky.feed.post/3kl3wpja7hh2a
