    I can't do this anymore. Between the blatant disregard for truth from the owner and the increasing darkness that forced even @StephenKing to leave, I can't stay here. This will be my last post on @twitter.

    We need one @GOP senator with integrity to stand up and say "This isn't about me winning an election, this is about our country - #Enough." It will happen. We just need to see who has enough courage to go first.

    I'm a Texan, a pediatric surgeon, and I couldn't agree more. Our lawmakers have lost their minds (and their souls).

    Dr. Anthony Fauci answers some of the most pressing questions surrounding coronavirus: How is it spread? What makes it so insidious? What are the dangers of self-medicating? Can you get re-infected?

    And BTW we also consulted the science that has shown that reasonable gun control results in saving lives. I’ll post abstracts of some studies later from @PubMedCommons (got to run take care of kids now). I’m sure some of my colleagues will help until I get back. #ItIsOurLane

    I'm a pediatric surgeon. I have held weeping family members after losing a child to gun violence more times than I can count. I've been speaking out for sane gun safety laws for years. Enough. #ThisIsOurLane #DoctorsForGunSafety
